redux-data-router
is a clean-room spiritual successor to projects like
redux-first-history.
You only need to bring your React Router v6 data router
, no need to manage a history
object (or use UNSTABLE_
methods :smile:)
Usage with router
import {createEnhancer, reducer} from 'redux-data-router';
// Create your data router like normal.
const router = createBrowserRouter(routes);
// Install the router reducer and enhancer.
const store = configureStore(
reducer: {router: reducer}, // Install the reducer at the 'router' slice by default.
enhancers: [createEnhancer(router)],
);
Redux is now connected to React Router! Yes, that's it.
Backwards-compatible
Effort has been made to keep the history action types working. redux-data-router
exports
all the actions you know and love:
dispatch(back());
dispatch(forward());
dispatch(go(2));
dispatch(goBack(2));
dispatch(goForward());
dispatch(push('/', state || {}));
dispatch(replace('/about'));
There is a new navigate
action that is more semantically in line with how the modern
router actually works:
dispatch(navigate('/about'));
dispatch(navigate('/about', {replace: true}));
dispatch(navigate(2));
Under the hood
History actions are casted to an equivalent navigate
action. See:
actions.js
Does this support time-travelling?
Yes. :grin: Router navigation is a side-effect of every location state change.
Configuration
createEnhancer
takes an optional options object after your router
:
{
// The key used for the router slice.
key: 'router',
}
For example, the introduction could have been configured differently for your unique state structure:
const store = configureStore(
reducer: {FOO_BAR: reducer},
enhancers: [createEnhancer(router, {key: 'FOO_BAR'})],
);
How it works
Up to now, libraries have been handling a history
object to synchronize Redux state with React
Router. This approach is no longer practical with current (February 2024) React Router data router
semantics.
All is not lost, however! Instead of history.listen
, we have a new API: router.subscribe
.
redux-data-router
subscribes to changes through this channel to continuously synchronize the
Redux state with the router state.
Is this a real single source of truth?
Probably not. React Router's internals aren't always easy to get into, and there may even be
issues with the approach taken here. If e.g. the internal updateState
API were made
public, we might be able to become a true SSOT.
