Usage

var hashState = require('hashstate')(options);

• options Object=
  • prefix String='!' Prefix to prepend when setting the hash fragment. Default to '!'
  • split String=',' String to split the key-value pairs.
  • assign String='=' String to join key and value of a key-value pair.
  • window Window=

The instance of hashState is an EventEmitter.

.stringify(object)

Returns String , excluding options.prefix.

hashState.stringify({a: 1, b: 'c'}); // 'a=1,b=c'

.parse(string)

Parses the given string and returns Object the parsed object according to options.split and options.assign.

// Will deal with the leading '#!'
hashState.parse('#!a=1,b=c'); // {a: '1', b: 'c'}
hashState.parse('!a=1,b=c'); // {a: '1', b: 'c'}
hashState.parse('#a=1,b=c'); // {a: '1', b: 'c'}

hashState.parse('a=1,b=c'); // {a: '1', b: 'c'}
