Named routes and URL generation

Hey

I love this router and have used it on a lot of small projects with no issues, thanks! I’m now scoping a larger project, and there’s one thing stopping me from using it there (well two related things).

Some example routes:

const trip = new TripController();
router.on({
  '/trip/:tripId/edit': trip.edit,
  '/trip/create': trip.create,
  '/trip/:tripId': trip.show,
  '/trip': trip.index
});

An example for a named route API (using Laravel 5.2 API as inspiration):

const trip = new TripController();
router.on({
  '/trip/:tripId/edit': {as: 'trip.edit', uses: trip.edit},
  '/trip/create': {as: 'trip.create', uses: trip.create},
  '/trip/:tripId': {as: 'trip.show', uses: trip.show},
  '/trip': {as: 'trip.index', uses: trip.index}
});

Then using the custom names, we don’t need to hardcode URLs in th views:

<a href="{{ router.generate('trip.show', {tripId: 6}) }}">...</a>

Thanks! Very small and elegant solution!

Nice idea and definitely possible. I’ll try implementing it during the weekend.
