Dota Navigation Router

A lightweight TypeScript router for web applications that leverages the Navigation API for seamless client-side routing.

Features

• Modern routing with the Navigation API
• Configurable route matching and rendering
• Support for nested routes and child components
• Custom error handling
• Metadata-driven component registration
• History management with back/forward navigation

Installation

npm install @ayu-sh-kr/dota-router
# or
pnpm add @ayu-sh-kr/dota-router
# or
yarn add @ayu-sh-kr/dota-router

Basic Usage

import { DomNavigationRouter, RouteConfig } from '@ayu-sh-kr/dota-router';
import { HomePage, AboutPage, NotFoundPage } from './components';

// Define your routes
const routes: RouteConfig[] = [
  { 
    path: '/', 
    component: HomePage,
    default: true
  },
  { 
    path: '/about', 
    component: AboutPage
  }
];

// Create and initialize router
const router = new DomNavigationRouter({
  routes,
  errorRoute: {
    path: '/error',
    component: NotFoundPage
  }
});

Navigation

Navigate between pages using the static route method:

// Navigate to a path
DomNavigationRouter.route('/about');

// Navigate with options
DomNavigationRouter.route('/products', {
  category: 'electronics',
  sort: 'price'
});

Advanced Routing

Custom Render Functions

const routes = [
  {
    path: '/dashboard',
    component: DashboardComponent,
    render: (path) => {
      // Custom rendering logic
      document.querySelector('#app-root').innerHTML = '<dashboard-view></dashboard-view>';
      // Initialize other resources
    }
  }
];

Nested Routes

const routes = [
  {
    path: '/admin',
    component: AdminLayout,
    children: [
      {
        path: '/users',
        component: UsersComponent
      },
      {
        path: '/settings',
        component: SettingsComponent
      }
    ]
  }
];

Error Handling

The router automatically redirects to the error route when a path is not found:

// This will redirect to the error route if '/unknown' is not defined
DomNavigationRouter.route('/unknown');

Utilities

The library provides utility functions for navigation:

import { RouterUtils } from '@ayu-sh-kr/dota-router';

// Get the previous path
const previousPath = RouterUtils.getPreviousPath();

// Get the current path
const currentPath = RouterUtils.getCurrentPath();
