typed-route v1.0.0

Quick example:

// constants/routes.ts
import { typedRoute, routeMap } from 'typed-route';

export const routes = {
  list: '/list',
  item: typedRoute<'id'>('/item/:id'),
  form: routeMap(typedRoute<'id'>('/form/:id'), {
    detail: '/detail',
    subForm: typedRoute<'sub'>('/:sub')
  })
};

// routes.tsx
import { routes } from './constants/routes';

const Routes = () => (
  <Router>
    <Route exact path={routes.list} component={ListPage} />
    <Route exact path={routes.item} component={ItemPage} />
    <Route exact path={routes.form.detail} component={FormDetailPage} />
    <Route exact path={routes.form.subForm} component={SubFormPage} />
  </Router>
);

// pages/sub-form.tsx
import { InferTypedRoute } from 'typed-route';
import { RouteComponentProps } from 'react-router-dom';
import { routes } from '../constants/routes';

type SubFormProps = RouteComponentProps<InferTypedRoute<typeof routes.form.subForm>>;

const SubFormPage: React.FC<SubFormProps> = ({ match }) => (
  <div>
    Subform params:
    { match.params.id }
    { match.params.sub }
  </div>
);

// navigation.tsx
import { reverseUrl } from 'typed-route';
import { routes } from './constants/routes';

const Navigation = () => (
  <div>
      <Link to={reverseUrl(routes.item, { id: 1 })}>Link to item</Link>
      <Link to={reverseUrl(routes.form.subForm, { id: 2, sub: 'test' })}>Link to sub form</Link>
      {/* TS Error: Property 'id' is missing */}
      <Link to={reverseUrl(routes.form.subForm, { sub: 'test' })}>Error link</Link>
  </div>
);

Quick Start

Requirements

• npm or Yarn
• Node.js 10.0.0 or higher
• Typescript 3.5.0 or higher

Installation

$ npm install typed-route

If you are using Yarn, use the following command.

$ yarn add typed-route

Usage

typedRoute

typedRoute - generic function creates string with saved context

typedRoute<'name'>('/:name') - creates a string route with one param { name: string }

typedRoute<'id' | 'name'>('/:id/:name') - creates a string route with a few params { id: string, name: string }

typedRoute<'id', 'name'>('/:id/:name?') - you can add optional params { id: string, name?: string }

routeMap

Creates a route map merging all routes string and contexts

let routes;
routes = routeMap('/base', {
  page1: '/page1',
  page2: routeMap('/page2', {
    info: '/info',
    form: '/form'
  })
});
console.log(routes);
/* {
  index: '/base',
  page1: '/base/page1',
  page2: {
    index: '/base/page2',
    info: '/base/page2/info',
    form: '/base/page2/form'
  }
} */

reverseUrl

Type safe function generates an url using typed route and route params

reverseUrl(
  typedRoute('/item'),
); // item

reverseUrl(
  typedRoute<'id'>('/item/:id'),
  { id: 1 }
); // item/1

reverseUrl(
  typedRoute<'id'>('/item/:id'),
); // TS Error

reverseUrl(
  typedRoute<'id'>('/item/:id'),
  {}
); // TS Error: Property 'id' is missing

reverseUrl(
  typedRoute<'id' | 'optional'>('/item/:id/:second'),
  { id: 1, second: 2 }
); // item/1/2

reverseUrl(
  typedRoute<'id', 'optional'>('/item/:id/:optional?'),
  { id: 1 }
); // item/1

reverseUrl(
  typedRoute<'id', 'optional'>('/item/:id/:optional?'),
  { id: 1, optional: 'test' }
); // item/1/test

InferTypedRoute

Infer params from types route

let route = typedRoute<'id'>('/item/:id');
type I1 = InferTypedRoute<typeof route>;
// { id: string }

route = typedRoute<'id' | 'second'>('/item/:id/:second');
type I2 = InferTypedRoute<typeof route>;
// { id: string; second: string }

route = typedRoute<'id', 'optional'>('/item/:id/:optional?');
type I3 = InferTypedRoute<typeof route>;
// { id: string; optional?: string }

const routes = {
  list: '/list',
  form: routeMap(typedRoute<'id'>('/form/:id'), {
    subForm: routeMap(typedRoute<'sub'>('/:sub'), {
      detail: '/detail',
    })
  })
};
type I5 = InferTypedRoute<typeof routes.form.subForm.detail>;
// { id: string; sub: string }

You can use it with react-router

type SubFormProps = RouteComponentProps<InferTypedRoute<typeof routes.form.subForm.detail>>;

const SubFormPage: React.FC<SubFormProps> = ({ match }) => (
  <div>
    Subform params:
    { match.params.id }
    { match.params.sub }
  </div>
);

InferRouteMap

Generates route map type params

const routes = {
  list: '/list',
  form: routeMap(typedRoute<'id'>('/form/:id'), {
    info: '/info',
    subForm: routeMap(typedRoute<'sub'>('/:sub'), {
      detail: '/detail',
    })
  })
};
type RoutesParams = InferRouteMap<typeof routes>;
/* {
 list: object;
 form: {
   index: { id: string };
   info: { id: string };
   subForm: {
     index: { id: string };
     detail: { id: string; sub: string }
   }
 }
*/

And you can use it with react-router instead of InferTypedRoute

type SubFormProps = RouteComponentProps<RoutesParams['form']['subForm']['detail']>;

const SubFormPage: React.FC<SubFormProps> = ({ match }) => (
  <div>
    Subform params:
    { match.params.id }
    { match.params.sub }
  </div>
);
