Router is to set to manage the children Route Router accepts the loadingUI, homePath and notFoundUI

loadingUI is a component which is used for Route to render as chunks and provides a UX. homePath is setting the default path if no path is available default is '\' notFoundUI can be either component or element. This will be displayed when a page is not found in the Route specified path's

Route is a component which maintains individual routes Route accepts the path, redirectIfNotSatisfied, middleware, element, component and children

path is string which denote's in which path we can access the component or element. You can params key to path by the colon (:) like '/route/:key' here key will be the key to the param. You can pass n number of params. middleware is array of functions, function or a boolean value which deals with checking if this page can be accessible or not. redirectIfNotSatisfied is a string path which will redirect if middleware conditions are not satisfied. component is React component which can be render if mounts on specified path. It can be lazy loaded or normal component. If we lazy loading is used loadingUI in Router is displayed while fetching the chunks of the component. element or children both or elements. If component, element and children are passed first it try to load component if not element and in last children.

Hooks There are useParams, useNavigate, useQueryParams, useBrowserState available.

useParams will fetch the values params available in the current path. useQueryParams will fetch search params or hash params available in the current location. useBrowserState will fetch the browser state that is set. useHash will fetch the hash that is set (if it string set other vise it will converted to queryParams) useNavigate used to redirect user to specific path. It hash redirect and back functions available useRouteUpdater used to set different location params it has setQueryParams, setHash and setBrowserState functions

redirect accepts to and object of state, hash, search keyed values like

const navigate = useNavigate()
navigate.redirect(to, {state, hash, search})

using useRouteUpdater

const {setQueryParams, setHash, setBrowserState} = useRouteUpdater()
// setHash accepts only string
// setQueryParams accept object 
// setBrowserState accepts object

here search and hash (if hash is object) objects with key value pairs or queryParams.

Using outside the hooks and components

getParams
onCurrentPathnameUpdate
onQueryParamUpdate

queryParams
currentPathname

In this queryParams and currentPathname can be used to retrieve and set the values based on this paths redirection changes.

currentPathname can be use to redirect by setting the value in it. It can be only string. queryParams will return query params as a object and set the vales as object it will set the search query to browser.

And onCurrentPathnameUpdate, onQueryParamUpdate can be used to trigger the this functions if currentPathUpdates adn currentPathnameUpdates adn queryParamsUpdate. And this will return the function which can be called if there is not more use to inside function. This takes callback function as argument.

usage

const returnFunction = onCurrentPathnameUpdate(() => {
    ...
})

returnFunction()
