Router-view NPM

Router View for React

Location bar is a view of store

This project is based on react and immutable-js.

Initial idea

In time travelling debugger, router is not controlled. So I suggest location bar being regarded as a view of store in order to be controlled.

Usage

npm i --save router-view

Addressbar = require 'router-view'
pathUtil = require 'router-view/lib/path'

rules = pathUtil.expandRoutes [
  ['home', '/']
  ['demo', '/demo']
  ['skip', '/skip/~']
  ['team', '/team/:teamId']
  ['room', '/team/:teamId/room/:roomId']
  ['404', '~']
]

oldAddress = "#{location.pathname}#{location.search}" # for history API
# oldAddress = location.hash.substr(1) # for hash
router = pathUtil.getCurrentInfo rules, oldAddress
store = store.set 'router', router

Addressbar
  route: store.get('router')
  rules: routes
  onPopstate: (info, event) ->
  inHash: false # fallback to hash from history API
  skipRendering: false # true to allow model/view inconsistency during loading

~ refers to "any path" in this library.

And in store the route information (info) is like:

name: 'room'
data:
  teamId: '12'
  roomId: '34'
query:
  isPrivate: 'true'

Parameters and querystrings are supported. Get this from store and render the page.

Notice

keep in mind that router-view is totally based on immutable-js.
if you need to route asynchronously, try set skipRendering to true during loading
undefined value is eliminated on purpose, fire an issue if you think differenly.
