Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

CacheRoute

size dm

English | 中文说明

Route with cache for react-router like keep-alive in Vue.

Online Demo

If you want <KeepAlive /> only, try react-activation

React v15+

React-Router v4+



Problem Scenarios

Using Route, component can not be cached while going forward or back which lead to losing data and interaction


Reason & Solution

Component would be unmounted when Route was unmatched

After reading source code of Route we found that using children prop as a function could help to control rendering behavior.

Hiding instead of Removing would fix this issue.

https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router/blob/master/packages/react-router/modules/Route.js#L41-L63


Install

npm install react-router-cache-route --save
# or
yarn add react-router-cache-route

Usage

Replace Route with CacheRoute

Replace Switch with CacheSwitch (Because Switch only keeps the first matching state route and unmount the others)

import React from 'react'
import { HashRouter as Router, Route } from 'react-router-dom'
import CacheRoute, { CacheSwitch } from 'react-router-cache-route'

import List from './views/List'
import Item from './views/Item'

const App = () => (
  <Router>
    <CacheSwitch>
      <CacheRoute exact path="/list" component={List} />
      <Route exact path="/item/:id" component={Item} />
      <Route render={() => <div>404 Not Found</div>} />
    </CacheSwitch>
  </Router>
)

export default App

CacheRoute props

| name | type | default | description | | ----------------------------- | --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | when | String / Function | "forward" | Decide when to cache | | className | String | - | className prop for the wrapper component | | behavior | Function | cached => cached ? { style: { display: "none" }} : undefined | Return props effective on the wrapper component to control rendering behavior | | cacheKey | String / Function | - | For imperative control caching | | multiple (React v16.2+) | Boolean / Number | false | Allows different caches to be distinguished by dynamic routing parameters. When the value is a number, it indicates the maximum number of caches. When the maximum value is exceeded, the oldest updated cache will be cleared. | | unmount (UNSTABLE) | Boolean | false | Whether to unmount the real dom node after cached, to save performance (Will cause losing the scroll position after recovered, fixed with saveScrollPosition props) | | saveScrollPosition (UNSTABLE) | Boolean | false | Save scroll position |

CacheRoute is only a wrapper component that works based on the children property of Route, and does not affect the functionality of Route itself.

For the rest of the properties, please refer to https://reacttraining.com/react-router/


About when

The following values can be taken when the type is String

  • [forward] Cache when forward behavior occurs, corresponding to the PUSH or REPLACE action in react-router
  • [back] Cache when back behavior occurs, corresponding to the POP action in react-router
  • [always] Always cache routes when leave, no matter forward or backward

When the type is Function, the component's props will be accepted as the first argument, return true/false to determine whether to cache.


CacheSwitch props

| name | type | default | description | | ----- | ---------- | ---------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | which | Function | element => element.type === CacheRoute | <CacheSwitch> only saves the first layer of nodes which type is CacheRoute by default, which prop is a function that would receive a instance of React Component, return true/false to decide if <CacheSwitch> need to save it, reference #55 |


Lifecycles

Hooks

use useDidCache and useDidRecover to inject customer Lifecycle didCache and didRecover

import { useDidCache, useDidRecover } from 'react-router-cache-route'

export default function List() {

  useDidCache(() => {
    console.log('List cached 1')
  })

  // support multiple effect
  useDidCache(() => {
    console.log('List cached 2')
  })

  useDidRecover(() => {
    console.log('List recovered')
  })

  return (
    // ...
  )
}

Class Component

Component with CacheRoute will accept one prop named cacheLifecycles which contains two functions to inject customer Lifecycle didCache and didRecover

import React, { Component } from 'react'

export default class List extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props)

    props.cacheLifecycles.didCache(this.componentDidCache)
    props.cacheLifecycles.didRecover(this.componentDidRecover)
  }

  componentDidCache = () => {
    console.log('List cached')
  }

  componentDidRecover = () => {
    console.log('List recovered')
  }

  render() {
    return (
      // ...
    )
  }
}

Drop cache

You can manually control the cache with cacheKey prop and dropByCacheKey function.

import CacheRoute, { dropByCacheKey, getCachingKeys } from 'react-router-cache-route'

...
<CacheRoute ... cacheKey="MyComponent" />
...

console.log(getCachingKeys()) // will receive ['MyComponent'] if CacheRoute is cached which `cacheKey` prop is 'MyComponent'
...

dropByCacheKey('MyComponent')
...

Clear cache

You can clear cache with clearCache function.

import { clearCache } from 'react-router-cache-route'

clearCache()
