Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jeffknupp/sandman2/issues/23

Just wondering what people's thoughts are on implementing more complex patterns for reading (joins and filters), along the lines of things like:

joins: /table1/id1/table2 - returns all the table2's related to table1 key id1
filters: /table1?id=id1 - alternative to /table1/id1
sort: /table1?_orderby=field1,field2
pagination: /table1?_size=100&page=1

(http://sailsjs.org/documentation/reference/blueprint-api for some ideas)

At some point it is easier to parse the URL, rather than prepare every conceivable pattern. Thoughts?

Realised just now that filter, sort, pagination is already supported - just not documented, is that right - or are they placeholder / partial implementations?

Nope, they're fully supported. I'll be sure to update the docs as soon as I can.

What about join pattern: /table1/id1/table2/id2/table3

In this situation you really need to parse the URL, rather than pattern match on it with routes?
