extract URI templates code from Autoplot's code base #1

Closed jbfaden closed 4 years ago

jbfaden commented 5 years ago

The URI_templates code, which is exposed as a servlet here http://jfaden.net/AutoplotServlet/URI_Templates.jsp. This should be extracted into its own independent library. I believe the problem is that the Autoplot version uses DatumRange objects to represent time spans and its FileSystem objects to do remote listings.

I'd like to get started on this this week. Also, the Java code produced should be easily converted to JavaScript, which I will do as a validation with Bob's assistance.

The Java client is written, but Bob and I discovered $v is part of the spec and I didn't really address this. This means additional information needs to be passed out when parsing, so I'll support adding tags to a map. I thought about doing this anyway, to provide the matched $x content.

Also Bob was expecting that I would run against the formatting and parsing json files (https://github.com/hapi-server/uri-templates/blob/master/formatting.json), and this showed we are thinking of the interface slightly differently. I can easily add a static method which will match those expectations.

Last, I noticed that the two interfaces between parse and format are inconsistent. One uses decomposed times, the other uses formatted times.

These changes are done. The parse and format methods have a map argument where extra information like version numbers and named fields are kept.
