3 Turn an Express-style path string such as `/user/:name` into a regular expression.
5 **Note:** This is a legacy branch. You should upgrade to `1.x`.
10 var pathToRegexp = require('path-to-regexp');
13 ### pathToRegexp(path, keys, options)
15 - **path** A string in the express format, an array of such strings, or a regular expression
16 - **keys** An array to be populated with the keys present in the url. Once the function completes, this will be an array of strings.
18 - **options.sensitive** Defaults to false, set this to true to make routes case sensitive
19 - **options.strict** Defaults to false, set this to true to make the trailing slash matter.
20 - **options.end** Defaults to true, set this to false to only match the prefix of the URL.
24 var exp = pathToRegexp('/foo/:bar', keys);
26 //exp = /^\/foo\/(?:([^\/]+?))\/?$/i
