pojo-router

A hook based machanism to convert a string (i.e. a path) into metadata.

API

Define your metadata in a provider component.

import React from 'react';
import PojoRouter from 'pojo-router';

const namedPaths = {
  page1: '/page1',
  page2: { path: '/page2', sensitive: true },
  page3: { path: '/page3/:id' },
};

const routes = [
  ['page1', { abc: 123 }],
  ['page2', { abc: 456 }],
  ['page3', { abc: 789 }],
  ['/page4', { abc: 0 }]
];

const notFound = { nothing: true };

const Router = ({ children }) => (
  <PojoRouter namedPaths={namedPaths} routes={routes} notFound={notFound}>
    { children }
  </PojoRouter>
);

Within your child component, use one of the hooks.

useCurrentPath

Sets or gets the "current path". This sets will use this path for all calls to useCurrentMatch until a new path is set.

If a path is provided, it sets that path.

It always returns the current path.

useMatches

Given a path, this returns all the metadata for routes that match.

useFirstMatch

Given a path, this returns the metadata for the first route that matches.

useBestMatch

Given a path and a compareFunction (see Array.prototype.sort), this returns the metadata for the best route that matches based on the provided compare function.

useCurrentMatch

When a path is set via useCurrentPath, this returns the first match metadata for the current path that is set.

useOutboundRoute

Given a named route (or route string if none is defined), this returns a function that will generate a matching string, including populating the dynamic variables. E.g. for a route like /entity/:id an outbound routing function like entityPath({ id: 123 }) will generate /entity/123.
