+# url-pattern
+
+match urls to patterns and extract named url segments
+
+## Installation
+
+```
+npm install git://github.com/snd/url-pattern.git
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### make a pattern from a string
+
+```coffeescript
+pattern = new Pattern '/users/:id'
+```
+
+### match a pattern against a url
+
+```coffeescript
+pattern.match '/projects/5' # => null
+pattern.match '/users/5' # => {id: 5}
+```
+
+match returns either `null` if there was no match or an object with the named parameters.
+
+## Pattern examples
+
+`/users` will match only exactly the url `/users`.
+
+`/projects/:projectId/supporters/:supporterId` will match any url where the first
+segment (url part delimited by `/`) is exactly `projects`, the second segment is not empty, the third segment is exactly
+`supporters` and the fourth segment is not empty. the second and fourth segments will be bound
+to `projectId` and `supporterId`.
+
+`/projects/*` will match any url which begins with `/projects/`.
+
+`*/projects` will match any url which ends with `/projects/`.
+
+`/users/*/projects` will match any url which starts with `/users` and ends with `/projects/`.
