@resourge/history-store v1.4.0

@resourge/history-store

@resourge/history-store is a lightweight JavaScript utility for managing and subscribing to navigation events using the browser's History API. It simplifies tracking URL changes and enables seamless state management for single-page applications (SPAs).

Features

• Unified Navigation State Management: Consistent API for both web and React Native environments.
• Subscription-Based Updates: Subscribe to URL changes and respond in real-time.
• Custom Navigation Actions: Specify custom navigation actions or replace the current history state.

Installation

Install using Yarn:

Browser

yarn add @resourge/history-store

or NPM:

npm install @resourge/history-store --save

react-native

yarn add @resourge/history-store react-native-url-polyfill

or NPM:

npm install @resourge/history-store react-native-url-polyfill --save

Basic usage

To start using @resourge/history-store, simply import and interact with the HistoryStore instance:

// Browser
import { HistoryStore } from '@resourge/history-store';
// react-native
// import { HistoryStore } from '@resourge/history-store/mobile';

// Subscribe to URL changes
const unsubscribe = HistoryStore.subscribe(() => {
  const [currentUrl, action, previous] = HistoryStore.getValue();
  console.log('Current URL:', currentUrl.href);
  console.log('Action:', action);
  if (previous) {
    console.log('Previous URL:', previous[0].href);
  }
});

// Navigate to a new URL
HistoryStore.navigate(new URL('/new-page', window.location.href));

// Unsubscribe when done
unsubscribe();

Methods

subscribe(notification: () => void): () => void

Adds a callback function that will be triggered on URL change. Returns an unsubscribe function to remove the subscription.

const unsubscribe = HistoryStore.subscribe(() => {
  console.log('URL changed!');
});

getValue(): StoreValue

Returns the current navigation state, which is a tuple containing:

• url: The current URL.
• action: The type of action that triggered the change.
• previousValue: (Optional) A tuple containing the previous URL and action.

const [url, action, previous] = HistoryStore.getValue();

navigate(url: URL, options?: NavigateOptions): void

Navigates to a specified URL. The optional NavigateOptions can be used to define the navigation action or whether to replace the current history state.

• Web: - url: The current URL. - options.action: The navigation action type (e.g., push, replace). - options.replace: If true, replaces the current navigation state instead of pushing a new one.

• react-native: - url: The current URL. - options.action: The navigation action type (e.g., push, replace). - options.replace: If true, replaces the current navigation state instead of pushing a new one. - config.stack: If true, clears all navigation entries after the current URL before adding a new entry.

HistoryStore.navigate(new URL('/new-page', window.location.href), { replace: true });

Utility functions

createNewUrlWithSearch(url: URL, newSearch: string, hash?: boolean): URL

Creates a new URL instance with an updated search string. Optionally updates the hash if specified.

• Parameters: - url: The original URL. - newSearch: The new search string to be set. - hash: If true, updates the URL hash with the new search string.

import { createNewUrlWithSearch } from '@resourge/history-store/utils';
const newUrl = createNewUrlWithSearch(new URL('/path', window.location.origin), 'foo=bar', true);

parseParams<T extends Record<string, any>>(paramValues: T): string

Converts parameters into a search string.

• Parameters: - paramValues: An object representing the parameters.

import { parseParams } from '@resourge/history-store/utils';
const searchString = parseParams({ foo: 'bar', nested: { key: 'value' } });

parseSearchParams<T extends Record<string, any>>(searchParams: URLSearchParams, defaultParams?: T): T

Converts search parameters into an object with primitive values.

• Parameters: - searchParams: An instance of URLSearchParams. - defaultParams: Optional default parameters to merge with the parsed result.

import { parseSearchParams } from '@resourge/history-store/utils';
const params = parseSearchParams(new URLSearchParams('foo=bar&nested[key]=value'));

parseSearch<T extends Record<string, any>>(search: string, defaultParams?: T): T

Converts a search string into an object with primitive values.

• Parameters: - search: The search string (e.g., ?foo=bar&nested[key]=value). - defaultParams: Optional default parameters to merge with the parsed result.

import { parseSearch } from '@resourge/history-store/utils';
const params = parseSearch('?foo=bar&nested[key]=value');
