Reference

createRouter

react-router-min supports multiple router instances. Use createRouter to create a router instance, and each instance works independently.

import { createRouter } from 'react-router-min'

// create Router instance
const {
    Link, // create a Link component
    Main, // create Router Main component
    Router, // create Router component
    useRouter, // create a useRouter Hooks (Can obtain the parsed `path` and `query`)
    pushUrl, // push state url for function call
    replaceUrl, // replace state url for function call
    routerList, // generate a path list based on routes
} = createRouter({ routes, config })

Configuring Routes

routes can be Array of Record, routes is not required.

// Array type, with children
createRouter({
    routes: [
        {
            path: '/',
            Component: Root,
            children: [
                { index: true, Component: Home },
                { path: 'about', Component: About },
                {
                    path: 'auth',
                    Component: AuthLayout,
                    children: [
                        { path: 'login', Component: Login },
                        { path: 'register', Component: Register },
                    ],
                },
                {
                    path: 'concerts',
                    children: [
                        { index: true, Component: ConcertsHome },
                        { path: ':city', Component: ConcertsCity },
                        { path: 'trending', Component: ConcertsTrending },
                    ],
                },
            ],
        },
    ],
})

// Flattened Array
createRouter({
    routes: [
        { path: '/', Component: Home },
        { path: '/about', Component: About },
        { path: '/auth', Component: AuthLayout },
        { path: '/auth/login', Component: Login },
        { path: '/auth/register', Component: Register },
        { path: '/concerts/', Component: ConcertsHome },
        { path: '/concerts/city', Component: ConcertsCity },
        { path: '/concerts/trending', Component: ConcertsTrending },
    ],
})

// Record type
createRouter({
    routes: {
        '/': Home,
        '/about': About,
        '/auth': AuthLayout,
        '/auth/login': Login,
        '/auth/register': Register,
        '/concerts/': ConcertsHome,
        '/concerts/city': ConcertsCity,
        '/concerts/trending': ConcertsTrending,
    },
})

dynamic routes

Bind path to VariableName

// URL:  https://domain.com/foo/1/article?id=xxxxx

//-- routes --
const routes = { '/foo/[category]/article': ArticleComponent }

//-- ArticleComponent.js --
function ArticleComponent({ category }) {
    console.log(category)
    //=> '1'

    return '...'
}

path is SegmentName

// URL:  https://domain.com/foo/1/2/article?id=xxxxx

//-- routes --
const routes = { '/foo/[...tags]/article': ArticleComponent }

//-- ArticleComponent.js --
function ArticleComponent({ tags }) {
    console.log(tags)
    //=> ['1', '2']

    return '...'
}

Configuration for the router behavior

const { Main } = createRouter({
    config: { base: '', type: 'history', cleanUrl: true, stripIndex: true },
})

config.base router base pathname. Defaults to '', useful for Micro-FE.
config.presetQuery preset query record, forever existing, can be covered.
config.type The type of routing to use, either 'history' or 'hash'. Defaults to 'history'
config.cleanUrl Whether to clean the URL by removing extension name. Defaults to true.
config.stripIndex Whether to strip "index" from the URL path. Defaults to true.

Main component

The page component must be wrapped by the Main component.

const { Main } = createRouter({ routes })

function App() {
    return (
        <Main>
            <Layout />
        </Main>
    )
}

Link component

Link component return <a/>, but prevented default event to make SPA. Usage is same as <a/>.

There are two ways to import.

import from instance return by creatRouter (recommend)

//-- AppRouter.js --
import { createRouter } from 'react-router-min'

const { Main, Link } = createRouter()
export { Link, Main as default }

//-- PageComponent.js --
import { Link } from './AppRouter.js'

function PageComponent() {
    return (
        <>
            <Link href='/foo'>foo</Link>

            {/* replace state link */}
            <Link href='/foo' type="replace">foo</Link>

            {/* with query */}
            <Link href='/foo?n=1'>foo</Link>
            <Link href='/foo' query={{ a:1 }}>foo</Link>
        </>
    )
}

import directly from 'react-router-min'

import { Link } from 'react-router-min'

function PageComponent() {
    return (
        <>
            <Link href='/foo'>foo</Link>

            {/* replace state link */}
            <Link href='/foo' type="replace">foo</Link>

            {/* with query  */}
            <Link href='/foo?n=1'>foo</Link>
            <Link href='/foo' query={{ a:1 }}>foo</Link>

            {/* need to manually pass base  */}
            <Link href='/foo' options={{ base: '/base' }}>foo</Link>

            {/* need to manually pass router type */}
            <Link href='/foo' options={{ type: 'hash' }}>foo</Link>
        </>
    )
}

useRouter hooks

useRouter Hooks can obtain the parsed path and query

// URL: https://domain.com/foo?a=1

function PageComponent() {
    const { path, query } = useRouter()

    console.log({ path, query })
    // => { path: '/foo', query: { a: 1 } }

    return '...'
}

hash type router

// URL: https://domain.com/#/foo?a=1

function PageComponent() {
    const { path, query } = useRouter()

    console.log({ path, query })
    // => { path: '/foo', query: { a: 1 } }

    return '...'
}

When the base is set, path starts from after the base.

// URL: https://domain.com/base/foo?a=1

//-- router.js --
const { Main } = createRouter({ routes, config: { base: '/base' } })

//-- PageComponent.js --
function PageComponent() {
    const { path, query } = useRouter()

    console.log({ path, query })
    // => { path: '/foo', query: { a: 1 } }

    return '...'
}

pushUrl & replaceUrl

Function to push or replace a new URL to the history stack. There are two ways to import.

import from instance return by creatRouter (recommend)

imported in this way will automatically apply the config preset by creatRouter

 //-- AppRouter.js --
 import { createRouter } from 'react-router-min'

 const { Main, pushUrl } = createRouter({
     routes: [
         { path: '/', Component: Home },
         { path: '/foo', name: 'foo', Component: PageComponent },
     ],
 })
 export { pushUrl, Main as default }

 //-- function call in PageComponent --
 import { pushUrl } from './AppRouter.js'

 pushUrl('/foo')

 pushUrl('/foo?a=1')

 pushUrl('/foo?a=1', { query: { b: 2 } })

 pushUrl({ path: '/foo', query: { a: 1 } })

 pushUrl({ name: 'foo', query: { a: 1 } }) // by name

usage of replaceURL is the same as pushURL.

import directly from 'react-router-min'

imported in this way, need to manually pass some configurations.

 import { pushUrl } from 'react-router-min'

 pushUrl('/foo')

 pushUrl('/foo?a=1')

 pushUrl('/foo?a=1', { query: { b: 2 } })

 pushUrl({ path: '/foo', query: { a: 1 } })

 pushUrl({ name: 'foo', query: { a: 1 } }) // by name

 // need to manually pass base
 pushUrl('/foo', { base: '/base' })

 // need to manually pass router type
 pushUrl('/foo', { type: 'hash' })
