Url pattern matching (lexer) that return result(s) based the order they were added or a overriding priority.

Code mostly extracted from Crossroads.js, thanks!

TODO:

• See if https://github.com/snd/url-pattern would be a better option... and if it works on most browsers.
• Make the tests work
• Switch from jasmine to mocha
• Build with gulp
• Add tests result on github page

Examples (taken from the Crossroads.js website)

String rule with param: '/news/{id}'

match '/news/123' passing "123" as param to handler

String rule with optional param: '/foo/{id}/:slug:'

match '/foo/123/bar' passing "123" and "bar" as param match '/foo/45' passing 45 as param (slug is optional)

RegExp rule: /^\/lorem\/([a-z]+)$/

match '/lorem/ipsum' passing "ipsum" as param to handler note the capturing group around segment

String rule with rest segments: '/foo/{id*}/edit'

match '/foo/123/edit' passing "123" as argument match '/foo/45/asd/123/edit' passing "45/asd/123" as argument

Query String: 'foo.php{?query}'

match 'foo.php?lorem=ipsum&dolor=amet'
