location

location is a small (2.55KB minified, 1.14KB gzipped), functional wrapper around url-pattern and query-string to make working with urls in SPAs easier and more DRY

Installation

$ npm i @immutabl3/location

Usage

location takes a url, using express-style tokenization and returns a function that can be used to format the url:

import location from '@immutabl3/location';

const userLocation = location('/users/:name');

console.log(userLocation.get());
// > '/users/:name'

const url = userLocation({ name: 'me' });
console.log(url);
// > '/users/me'

Query strings can be added to the url as well:

const queryiedUserLocation = userLocation.query({ hello: 'world' });
const url = queryiedUserLocation({ name: 'me' });
console.log(url);
// > '/users/me?hello=world'

The location also exposes a match method for testing the url. This is a direct proxy to url-pattern's match:

userLocation.match('/users/you'); // { name: 'you' }

A locations helper function is also available to create multiple named locations. Each value will be converted to a location instance:

import { locations } from '@immutabl3/location';

const locationsMap = locations({
	home: '/home',
	admin: '/admin/:scope',
	exit: '/logout',
});

Tests
