Uses uritemplate-js and jQuery

This library combines uritemplate-js with jQuery to process RFC 6570 URI Templates before the form is submitted.

In other words, when this library is loaded, given this form:

<form action="/api/users/{username}" method="GET"> <label> username <input name="username" type="text" value="example"> </label> <input type="submit"> </form>

The action will be updated to /api/users/example when the form is submitted.

To build, install the requirejs optimizer node package:

npm install requirejs

Then:

r.js -o build.js When To Use It

If you have an api that uses templated routes, this can help you write forms that test the routes.

It breaks the web. URI Templates are not part of any html standard. User agents that do not enable javascript will not work. It does not degrade gracefully.

Caveat emptor.
