API
Router
This component provides context based routing for the Link
and Route
component and must be used to wrap those components. It does not take any properties.
Route
This component is used to render a component or some markup when its path matches the url. It takes a prop called path
which is the path that when matched the Route
will render.
| Prop | Required | Default | Description |
| --------- |:--------:|:-----------:| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| path | no | "/"
| The path relative to the origin that the Route
component will listen to. |
| exact | no | false
| True if it should match on the exact path only. |
| component | no | undefined
| The component to be rendered. |
Examples
With general markup:
<Route path={"/some-path"}>
<!-- Markup goes here -->
</Route>
With a Svelte component:
<script>
import SvelteComponent from "./svelte-component.svelte";
</script>
<Route path={"/some-path"} component={SvelteComponent}/>
Link
This component is used to change the url. It takes one prop called to
and is a relative path to your window.location.origin
.
| Prop | Required | Default | Description |
| --------- |:--------:|:-----------:| --------------------------------------------- |
| to | no | "/"
| The path relative to window.location.origin
|
Example
<Link to={"/some-path"}>
<!-- Markup goes here -->
</Link>
Know limitations
- You need to specify the
Route
components with the most specific path on top, like in the example below. Otherwise the top most one would be rendered on all sub paths as well.
Good example ✅
The most specific path is on top and will not be rendered on /foo
.
<script>
import { Link, Route, Router } from "@joxtacy/svelte-router";
</script>
<Router>
<Link to={"/"}>
<h2>Home</h2>
</Link>
<Link to={"/foo"}>
<h2>foo</h2>
</Link>
<Link to={"/foo/bar"}>
<h2>foobar</h2>
</Link>
<Route exact path={"/"}>
<h2>This is home</h2>
</Route>
<Route path={"/foo/bar"}>
<h2>Foobar</h2>
</Route>
<Route path={"/foo"}>
<h2>Foo</h2>
</Route>
</Router>
Bad example ❌
Here the /foo
path would also be rendered when the url is /foo/bar
.
<script>
import { Link, Route, Router } from "@joxtacy/svelte-router";
</script>
<Router>
<Link to={"/"}>
<h2>Home</h2>
</Link>
<Link to={"/foo"}>
<h2>foo</h2>
</Link>
<Link to={"/foo/bar"}>
<h2>foobar</h2>
</Link>
<Route exact path={"/"}>
<h2>This is home</h2>
</Route>
<Route path={"/foo"}>
<h2>Foo</h2>
</Route>
<Route path={"/foo/bar"}>
<h2>Foobar</h2>
</Route>
</Router>
It does not handle variables in the path.
You can only have one
Router
in your app.
