title: URL Generation for Routes in Express
body: <p>I'm considering using Express framework in my next node.js project. However, a stumbling block for me is non-existence of URL generation for routes like in most other non-Sinatra based frameworks, examples- Django, Flask, Rails etc.</p>
  
  <p>I tried looking for some Connect middleware to serve my task and I did find Barista, Escort, Sherpa and the likes but looking at their GitHub pages, all seem dead and in-active. So, I don't want to go for something that's not maintained anymore for obvious reasons.</p>
  
  <p>My main concern here is that the project may get really large and it WILL be a pain to update URLs in every page whenever business and/or aesthetic requirements change.</p>
  
  <p>Is there something that I failed to see in the docs/tests? If not, then how do I extend the routing framework in Express to do URL generation and make this wrapper available in my views as well as controller functions?</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE: (22/3/2012)</strong> I found this page: <a href="https://github.com/clyfe/tweet_express/wiki/TODO">https://github.com/clyfe/tweet_express/wiki/TODO</a> which specified some routers that do URL generation and stumbled upon the escort router which can also interface with express.</p>
