cianca v1.1.1

cianca

An isomorphic router for React.

Named after Vic Cianca - Pittsburgh's Dancing Traffic Cop.

Why create a new router for react when react-router already exists?

• Named routes — So I don't have to manually insert params into a string and so I don't have to go and update all my links whenever a route pattern changes

• Store additional information about a route — e.g. a status codes for server side rendering, or function for server side initialisation

Installation

npm install --save cianca

Usage

var React = require('react');
var ReactDOM = require('react-dom');

var cianca = require('cianca');
var Link = cianca.Link;
var Route = cianca.Route;
var Router = cianca.Router;

class Nav extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <nav>
      <Link name="home">Home</Link>
      <Link name="about">About</Link>
    </nav>;
  }
}

class Home extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <section>
      <Nav/>
      <h1>Home</h1>
    </section>;
  }
}

class About extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <section>
      <Nav/>
      <h1>About</h1>
    </section>;
  }
}

ReactDOM.render(
  <Router url={window.location.pathname+window.location.search}>
    <Route name="home" pattern="/" component={Home}/>
    <Route name="about" pattern="/about" component={About}/>
  </Router>,
  document.getElementById('app')
);
