Nancy.Routing.UriTemplates

Using URI Templates aka RFC 6570 for routing in Nancy.

Introduction

You can use URI Templates to define routes in Nancy.

public class PeopleModule : Nancy.Routing.UriTemplates.UriTemplateModule
{
    public PeopleModule()
    {
        // by default you'll be creating typical routes
        Get("person/{id}", p => GetModel(p.id));
            
        // and URI Templates are opt-in
        using(Templates)
        {
            Get("people{;include}{/page}{?name}", p => GetPeople(p.include, p.page, p.name));
        }
    }
}

The second route will for example match a request to people;include=hobbies,friends/4?name=Tomasz

As you can see, URI Templates give more expressive syntax:

• variables can be extracted not only from segments but also other URI parts including query strings ({?name}) and path parameters ({;include})
• all variables can have multiple values

Finally, URI Templates can also be used outside routing to mint identifiers. For example to used them as links in a REST API.
