Installation

npm i @mcpronovost/okp-router

Configuration

Default Configuration

{
  defaultLang: "en",
  currentLang: "en",
  supportedLangs: ["en"],
  viewExtension: "jsx",
  routes: {},
  routeModules: undefined,
  views: {},
  viewsPath: "/src/views",
  viewsExtensions: ["jsx", "tsx"],
}

Direct Configuration

Define your routes and views directly in the configuration object.

import { initRouter } from "@mcpronovost/okp-router";

await initRouter({
  defaultLang: "en",
  currentLang: "en",
  supportedLangs: ["en", "fr"],
  viewsPath: "/src/pages",
  viewsExtensions: ["jsx", "tsx"],
  routes: {
    home: {
      view: "Home",
      paths: {
        en: "",
        fr: "",
      },
    },
    settings: {
      view: "Settings",
      paths: {
        en: "settings",
        fr: "parametres",
      },
      children: {
        edit: {
          view: "SettingsEdit",
          paths: {
            en: "settings/{settingId}/edit",
            fr: "parametres/{settingId}/modifier",
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
  views: {
    "./views/Home.jsx": () => import("./views/Home.jsx"),
    "./views/Settings.jsx": () => import("./views/Settings.jsx"),
    "./views/Settings/Edit.tsx": () => import("./views/Settings/Edit.tsx"),
  },
});

Module-based Configuration

Use Vite's glob pattern to import routes and views from modules.

import { initRouter } from "@mcpronovost/okp-router";

await initRouter({
  defaultLang: "en",
  currentLang: "fr",
  supportedLangs: ["en", "fr"],
  viewsPath: "/src/pages",
  routeModules: import.meta.glob("./routes/**/*.js", {
    eager: true,
  }),
  views: import.meta.glob("./views/**/*.{jsx,tsx}", {
    eager: false,
  }),
});

Key Components

Route Definition

• view: The view to display for the route.
• paths: The paths for the route in different languages.
• props: The props to pass to the view.
• children: The child routes for the route.

View Management

• Views are lazy-loaded components.
• Configurable views extension.
• Automatic error handling with customizable 404 page.

URL Structure

• Format: /[lang]/[route]
  • Example: /fr/accueil
• Fallback: /[defaultLang]/[route]
  • Example: /en/home
• Parameter handling: /[lang]/[route]/{param}
  • Example: /en/settings/123

Example Usage

Get the current view and its parameters based on the current URL.

import { useEffect, useState } from "react";
import { getView } from "@mcpronovost/okp-router";
import Loading from "@/views/Loading";

function App() {
  const [View, setView] = useState(null);
  const [viewProps, setViewProps] = useState({});
  const [viewParams, setViewParams] = useState({});

  const initView = async () => {
    const { viewModule, props, params } = await getView();

    setViewProps(props);
    setViewParams(params);

    setView(() => viewModule.default);
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    initView();
  }, []);

  if (View) {
    return <View {...viewProps} {...viewParams} />;
  }

  return <Loading />;
}

Use the route key to get the translated URL for the current language.

import { r } from "@mcpronovost/okp-router";

export default function Home() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Home</h1>
      <p>Welcome to the home page</p>
      <a href={r("devblog")}>Go to Devblog</a>
    </div>
  );
}

Use the route key to get the translated URL for a specific language.

import { getRouter } from "@mcpronovost/okp-router";

export default function Home() {
  const { r } = getRouter("fr");

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Home</h1>
      <p>Welcome to the home page</p>
      <a href={r("devblog")}>Go to Devblog</a>
    </div>
  );
}

Switch the language of the current route.

import { switchLang } from "@mcpronovost/okp-router";

const newRoute = switchLang("fr");
