API

Router

The Router component supplies the Link and Route descendant components with routing information through context, so you need at least one Router at the top of your application. It assigns a score to all its Route descendants and picks the best match to render.

Router components can also be nested to allow for seamless merging of many smaller apps.

Properties

Link

A component used to navigate around the application.

Properties

Route

A component that will render its component property or children when its ancestor Router component decides it is the best match.

All properties other than path and component given to the Route will be passed to the rendered component.

Potential path parameters will be passed to the rendered component as properties. A wildcard * can be given a name with *wildcardName to pass the wildcard string as the wildcardName property instead of as the * property.

Potential path parameters are passed back to the parent using props, so they can be exposed to the slot template using let:params.

<Route path="/blog/:id" let:params>
    <BlogPost id="{params.id}" />
</Route>

The active status of link can be exposed to the slot template using let:active.

<Link to="/browser" let:active>
  <MenuItem active={active}>Browser</MenuItem>
</Link>

Properties

navigate

A function that allows you to imperatively navigate around the application for those use cases where a Link component is not suitable, e.g. after submitting a form.

The first argument is a string denoting where to navigate to, and the second argument is an object with a replace, state and preserveScroll properties equivalent to those in the Link component.

<script>
    import { navigate } from "svelte-routing";

    function onSubmit() {
        login().then(() => {
            navigate("/success", { replace: true });
        });
    }
</script>

link

An action used on anchor tags to navigate around the application. You can add an attribute replace to replace the current entry in the history stack instead of adding a new one and preserveScroll to not scroll the page to the top when clicked.

<script>
    import { link } from "svelte-routing";
</script>

<Router>
    <a href="/" use:link>Home</a>
    <a href="/replace" use:link replace>Replace this URL</a>
    <!-- ... -->
</Router>

links

An action used on a root element to make all relative anchor elements navigate around the application. You can add an attribute replace on any anchor to replace the current entry in the history stack instead of adding a new one. You can add an attribute preserveScroll on any anchor to not to scroll the page to the top when clicked. You can add an attribute noroute for this action to skip over the anchor and allow it to use the native browser action.

<!-- App.svelte -->
<script>
    import { links } from "svelte-routing";
</script>

<div use:links>
    <Router>
        <a href="/">Home</a>
        <a href="/replace" replace>Replace this URL</a>
        <a href="/native" noroute>Use the native action</a>
        <!-- ... -->
    </Router>
</div>

viewtransition

Viewtransition for navigation (Experimental).

builtin transition

<script>
    import { fade } from "svelte/transition";
    // ...
</script>

<Router viewtransition="{() => { fn: fade, duration: 500 }}">
    <Route path="/" component="{Home}" />
    <Route path="/contact" component="{Contact}" />
</Router>

custom transition

<script>
    import { cubicin } from "svelte/easing";
    // ...
</script>

<Router
    viewtransition="{() => { duration: 500, easing: cubicin, css: (t) => `scale:${t};transform-origin:center center;` }}"
>
    <Route path="/" component="{Home}" />
    <Route path="/contact" component="{Contact}" />
</Router>
