Router as a View for React

Router View for React

Location bar is a view of store

This project is based on react, immutable and actions-recorder.

Demo http://router-view.mvc-works.org/

Initial idea

Router is part of MVC and we can certainly divide it into M, C and V for better managements. It's like react-redux-router but designed based on actions-recorder.

Ideas behind it: Router is a View

Usage

npm i --save router-view

M part, add initial router object in store:

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

"V" part, mount Addressbar component to manipulate History API:

Addressbar
  route: store.get('router')
  rules: routes
  onPopstate: (info, event) ->
    # figure out the new router object and dispatch a `router/go` action
  inHash: false # fallback to hash from history API
  skipRendering: false # true to allow model/view inconsistency during loading

"C" part, connect action to store:

switch actionType
  when 'router/go' # <--- bind this action
    router.go store, actionData
  else
    console.warn ":Unknown action type: #{actionType}"
    store

Read src/ for details.

DSL

~ 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.
