Creating a Path Mapping for a query string?

[bhellman1]

Any examples available on how to create a path mapping for a url with a query string.

Example URL:

http://localhost:3000/#!/rooms?_=1308513473427&page=2

I'm trying to create a mapping that then returns 2

This does not appear to be taking:

Path.map("#/rooms?:id").to(function(){

});

thanks

Query strings are for passing parameters to the server, and have no bearing on the client-side routing available via the hash-tag. To get something working like a "page index" system, which it appears you're trying to do, you can do the following with the latest version of PathJS:

Path.map("#!/rooms/:room_id(/:page)").to(function(){
    var page_index = this.params["page"] || 1;
});

The above example uses the new Optional Parameters feature of PathJS. Using this feature, you can access a route like this:

http://www.yoursite.com/#!/rooms/1308513473427    // Access with now page index passed in
http://www.yoursite.com/#!/rooms/1308513473427/2 // Explicitly pass the index in.

In the code example above, you see that I set a default page index if none was passed in.
