Kurt Griffiths c986dd1aa5 feat(Request): Expose the URI template that was matched for the request (#889)
This has been requested by several members of the community who would
like a way to access the URI template in middleware, etc. (e.g., for
logging).

Routing

The falcon.routing module contains utilities used internally by :pyfalcon.API to route requests. They are exposed here for use by custom routing engines.

A custom router is any class that implements the following interface:

class FancyRouter(object):
    def add_route(self, uri_template, method_map, resource):
        """Adds a route between URI path template and resource.

        Args:
            uri_template (str): The URI template to add.
            method_map (dict): A method map obtained by calling
                falcon.routing.create_http_method_map.
            resource (object): Instance of the resource class that
                will handle requests for the given URI.
        """

    def find(self, uri):
        """Search for a route that matches the given partial URI.

        Args:
            uri(str): The requested path to route

        Returns:
            tuple: A 4-member tuple composed of (resource, method_map,
                params, uri_template), or ``None`` if no route matches
                the requested path
        """

A custom routing engine may be specified when instantiating :pyfalcon.API. For example:

fancy = FancyRouter()
api = API(router=fancy)
