JongRouter

A lightweight and simple-to-use web components router in Vanilla JavaScript with support for guards, nested routes, page not found, passing query parameters to components, passing route parameters to components, passing route data to components, and a router link for single-page application navigation without reloading the page.

• Guards: Implement route guards to control navigation based on conditions. (Example)

• Nested Routes: Create hierarchical routes for nested components. (Example)

• Page Not Found: Handle routes that do not match any defined route. (Example)

• Query Parameters: Pass query parameters to components. (Example)

• Route Parameters: Extract and pass route parameters to components. (Example)

• Route Data: Include additional data associated with each route. (Example)

Installation

Include the jong-router.js script in your HTML file.

Plug & Play, Import directly from cdn

<!-- via html -->
<script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jong-router@latest/dist/jong-router.min.js"></script>

// via js
// latest 
import JongRouter from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jong-router@latest/dist/jong-router.min.js'

// or specific version
import JongRouter from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jong-router@0.1.13/dist/jong-router.min.js'

Or Install using NPM

// or via npm
npm i jong-router   

Usage

1. Initialize the Router:

const router = new JongRouter([

  { pattern: '/', component: import('./components/HomeComponent') },

  { pattern: '/about', component: import('./components/AboutComponent') },

  // Add more routes as needed

], document.getElementById('app') );



router.init();

2. Create Components:

Create your web components for each route.

// Example: HomeComponent.js

class HomeComponent extends HTMLElement {

  connectedCallback() {

    this.innerHTML = '<h1>Home Component</h1>';

  }

}



customElements.define('home-component', HomeComponent);

3. Navigate with Router Links:

Use the router-link attribute to create navigation links.

<!-- Example: index.html -->

<a router-link href="/">Home</a>

<a router-link href="/about">About</a>

4. Guards

Implement guards for route conditions

const router = new JongRouter([

  {

    pattern: '/dashboard',

    component: import('./components/DashboardComponent'),

    guards: [() => isAuthenticated()],

    redirect: '/login',  

  },

  { pattern: '/login', component: import('./components/LoginComponent') }, 
  // ...other routes

]);



function isAuthenticated() {

  // Your authentication logic here

  return true;

}

5. Handle Route Parameters and Query Parameters:

Access route parameters and query parameters in your components.

// Example: UserComponent.js

class UserComponent extends HTMLElement {

  connectedCallback() {

    const routeParams = JSON.parse(this.getAttribute('route-params'));

    const queryParams = JSON.parse(this.getAttribute('query-params'));



    this.innerHTML = `<h1>User Details</h1>

                      <p>User ID: ${routeParams.id}</p>

                      <p>Query Param: ${queryParams.example}</p>`;

  }

}



customElements.define('user-component', UserComponent);
