Router::generate(name string, params object) - generate paths by name

[sanches89]

Implement Router::generate(name string, params object) to use in the Link component of React Starter Kit

I think supporting optional name parameter in each route is a great idea. But not sure if "generate URL" functionality should be a part of the core routing library. What do you think?

@sanchesic89 FYI, I just have cleaned up the project, removed all the extra dependencies not related to the router itself. What do you think about having "generate URL" functionality in some external class/utility? For example, you can have a list of routes as a JavaScript array:

// ./routes/index.js
export default [
  { name: 'home', path: '/', action: ... },
  { name: 'product', path: '/products/:id': action: ... }
];

That can be used by both the router and a "link builder", for example:

import router from 'universal-router';
import routes from './routes';

router(routes, /* context */);

// Link/URL builder
import routes from '../routes';

function href(routeName, routeParams) { ... }

export default href;

That can be used as href('product', { id: 123 }).

Any news on this, guys? It's a highly required feature.

@koistya Hi, I'm think this is especially useful and really often requested feature. Can you consider merge? I must admit that I didn't reviewed code carefully but I'm sure @sanches89 using this in production.

@sanches89 Can you give us feedback, do you using this in project?

[sanches89]

Hi everyone, the project change so much that I need to rebuild all the implementation. So I made a new pull request #74

So close this one @sanches89 :)
