next-router-segments v1.0.4

Next router segments

About package

I've made this package for parsing Next.js pathname to structured segments, which you can use in various ways, for example for creating breadcrumbs for current page.

Installation

PNPM

pnpm add next-router-segments

NPM

npm i next-router-segments

YARN

yarn add next-router-segments

Usage

Next.js (App Router)

"use client";

import usePathname from "next/navigation";
import { getRouteSegments } from 'next-router-segments';

export default function Page() {
  const {pathname} = usePathname();
  const segments = getRouteSegments(pathname)
  
  return (
    <pre>
      {JSON.stringify(segments, null, 2)}
    </pre>
  )
}

Info: pathname is only available in client, so usage for client component and client pages is exacly same.

Next.js (Pages Router)

import useRouter from "next/router";
import { getRouteSegments } from 'next-router-segments';

export default function Page() {
  const {pathname} = useRouter();
  const segments = getRouteSegments(pathname)
  
  return (
    <pre>
      {JSON.stringify(segments, null, 2)}
    </pre>
  )
}
