How do I split out parameters from a url in Iron Router?

Question

I have a Meteor web app. and I have URL's formatted like this:

/box/bx_0/12345/bx_1/67890/ ...etc...

I want to be able to extract the pairs like this into an array in my Router file:

boxes['bx_0'] = 12345;
boxes['bx_1'] = 67890;

How can I do this?

Answer 1

i am not sure if there is a pack or a convention for this, anyway you could setup a generic route, grab the url, split on "/" and then parse it.

In other words, i think doing it manually should be fast enough to justify not looking for another solution...
