Router Suspense

A suspense-friendly minimalistic sister of React Router.

npm i router-suspense

As of now, this is a very basic router that works in async-land.

Playing with Suspense

This router will work in React 15+. However, If you want to play around with suspense features, you'll need to enable suspense somehow. That means either building React yourself. Or, using this handy dandy starter we made.

API

The API is basically the core of React Router 4.

`<Router>`

Exactly the same as RR4's <BrowserRouter>

children: React.ReactNode

import React from 'react';
import { unstable_createRoot as createRoot } from 'react-dom';
import { Router } from 'router-suspense';
import App from './App';

const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('app'));

const render = Comp => {
  root.render(
   <Router>
     <Comp />
   </Router>
  );
};

render(App);

`<Route>`

Render prop component to conditionally render based on the URL. If present, it uses ReactDOM.unstable_deferredUpdates to wait for any suspense jazz to happen on the next route before making the transition.

Route Props

render: ((props) => React.ReactNode): Passes history, location, match as a render prop. Only renders when path matches the current location.
path: string Path to match. Same as RR4.
exact: boolean = false Same as RR4.

import React from 'react'
import { Route, Link } from 'router-suspense'

export const Nav = () => (
  <nav>
    <Link to="/">Home</Link>
    <Link to="/dashboard">Dashboard</Link>
  </nav>
)

export const App = () => (
  <div>
    <nav>
     <Link to="/">Home</Link>
     <Link to="/dashboard">Dashboard</Link>
     <Link to="/user/123">User</Link>
    </nav>
    <Route path="/" exact render={() => <div>Home</div>} />
    <Route path="/dashboard" exact render={() => <div>Dashboard</div>} />
    <Route path="/user/:id" exact render={({ match }) => <div>User {match.params.id} </div>} />
  </div>
)

`<Link>`

Link works like React Router 4's. You give it a path, it renders an <a>, but does a client-side transition by calling history.push(path) under the hood.

to: string The relative path to link to

import React from 'react'
import { Link } from 'router-suspense'

export const Nav = () => (
  <nav>
    <Link to="/">Home</Link>
    <Link to="/dashboard">Dashboard</Link>
  </nav>
)

`withRouter(Comp: Component)`

A higher-order component that hooks into Router context. Same as RR4.

import React from 'react'
import { Link } from 'router-suspense'

const BackButton = ({ history }) => (
  <div>
    <button onClick={() => history.goBack()}>Back</button>
  </div>
)

export default withRouter(BackButton)

Inspiration

A lot of this code is taken straight from React Router and React Training's MiniRouter lecture.
