kabouter v2.1.1

kabouter

A minimalist ~(2.7kb gzipped), batteries included router for react 🍀

Path with variables

Will strictly match all non [variable] path statements

import { useRoute } from 'kabouter'

const Books = () => {
  const route = useRoute('books/[book]/[page]')
  const { book, page } = route.path
  return (
    <div
      onClick={() => {
        // Will result in path "/book/mybook/1"
        route.setPath({
          book,
          page: page + 1,
        })
      }}
    >
      {book} {page}
    </div>
  )
}

Nested paths

Allows composition of different path routes together

import { useRoute } from 'kabouter'

const Page = () => {
  const route = useRoute('[page]')
  return <div>{route.path.page}</div>
}

const Books = () => {
  const route = useRoute('books/[book]')
  const { id } = route.path
  // Creates nested route page will now use "/books/mybook/1"
  return <div>{route.nest(<Page />)}</div>
}

Query parameters

Use query parameters, set a param to null to clear, pass { overwrite: true } as option to overwrite current query params, default is merge

import { useRoute } from 'kabouter'

const Counter = () => {
  const route = useRoute()
  return (
    <div
      onClick={() => {
        // Merges by default
        route.setQuery({
          counter: route.query.counter + 1,
        })
      }}
    >
      {route.query.counter}
    </div>
  )
}

Hash

Listen and modify the location hash

import { useRoute } from 'kabouter'

const Counter = () => {
  const route = useRoute()
  return (
    <div
      onClick={() => {
        route.setHash(route.hash + 1)
      }}
    >
      {route.hash}
    </div>
  )
}

Location

Listens and modify the whole location

import { useRoute } from 'kabouter'

const Counter = () => {
  const route = useRoute()
  return (
    <div onClick={() => route.setLocation('/something')}>{route.location}</div>
  )
}

useSearchParam

Hook to interact with a single search param, set to null to clear

import { useSearchParam } from 'kabouter'

const Counter = () => {
  const [counter, setCounter] = useSearchParam('counter', 0)
  return (
    <div
      onClick={() => {
        setCounter((counter) => counter + 1)
      }}
    >
      {counter}
    </div>
  )
}

SSR

Example how to use kabouter on a server

import React from 'react'
import { renderToPipeableStream } from 'react-dom/server'
import { useRoute, Router } from 'kabouter'

const Books = () => {
  const route = useRoute('books/[book]/[page]')
  const { book, page } = route.path
  return (
    <div
      onClick={() => {
        // Will result in path "/book/mybook/1"
        route.setPath({
          book,
          page: page + 1,
        })
      }}
    >
      {book} {page}
    </div>
  )
}

const serve = (response) => {
  renderToPipeableStream(
    <Router location={{ path: '/books/book1/20' }}>
      <Books />
    </Router>
    {}
  ).pipe(response)
}

Link component

Link element supports all set functionality of useRoute, creates an <a> tag with the parsed url. Attaches to the closest route.nest()

import React from 'react'
import { renderToPipeableStream } from 'react-dom/server'
import { useRoute, Router } from 'kabouter'

const Page = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <Link path={{ book: 'a book' }}>Go to bla!</Link>
    </div>
  )
}

const Books = () => {
  const route = useRoute('books/[book]')
  const { id } = route.path
  // Creates nested route page will now use "/books/mybook/1"
  return <div>{route.nest(<Page />)}</div>
}
