react-router-pls v0.0.2

React Router Pls

A thin wrapper around React Router that adds:

✓ A Hook
✓ Query parameter support

Motivation

At work, I need to create a large number of small React applications. I use the same React Router configuration in all of them. Rather than continue copy and pasting the code, I created this library.

If you are building a single app, then this library could still be useful to you. It may be preferable to copy and paste the source code rather than installing this as a dependency, though.

Installation

Install using npm:

npm install react-router-pls

or yarn:

yarn add react-router-pls

Getting Started

Configuring a Router

Use the Router export from this library instead of the one from React Router.

import { Router } from 'react-router-pls';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <Router>
      <AppContents />
    </Router>
  );
}

Using the useRouter Hook

Use the useRouter Hook in your components.

import { useRouter } from 'use-router';

export default function MyComponent() {
  const { match, location, history } = useRouter();
}

The values returned by the Hook are the same as the Route props from React Router.

Using query parameters

This library has a more opinionated approach to query parameters than React Router. This will be documented soon.

Other functionality

For everything else, refer to the React Router docs.
