react-router-json-routes-loader

React-router implementation of json-routes-loader with HOC

Getting Started

Install the react-router-json-routes-loader lib.

npm i react-router-json-routes-loader

Prerequisites

This is an implementation of json-routes-loader to simplify the routes loading of your react application.

Requires some basic notions about using React and React-router for the web. You should know what is the components Router, Route and Switch from React-router/React-router-dom.

Usage

Quick sample

Install the react-router-json-routes-loader lib.

npm i json-routes-loader

In your app, import the components from react-router-json-routes-loader and react-router

import {withRouteProvider, withRouteContext} from 'react-router-json-routes-loader'
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Switch } from "react-router-dom";

Use the HOC on your components.

If you want, you can set some option for
const routeProviderOptions = {
    // [...
    //    See option object of json-routes-loader :
    //    https://github.com/nkokla/json-routes-loader#options
    // ]
}


Const Layout = ({dataRoute, path, ...otherProps}) => (
    <div className="Layout">
        Route: {path}
        For this route, you have this content : {dataRoute}
        <hr />
        Also you have set this props on the component : {JSON.strigify(otherProps)}
    </div>
)
const MyLayout = withRouteContext(Layout, Route, Switch)

Const App = () => ()
    <div className="App">
        <Router>
            <MyLayout.Switch userProps="Hey ! It's me, Luigi ! " />
        </Router>
    </div>
)
const MyApp = withRouteProvider(App, routeProviderOptions);

ReactDOM.render(<MyApp />, document.getElementById("root"));

withRouteProvider

withRouteProvider(ReactComponent[, routeProviderOptions]);

This function return a Component who initialize a 'routes-provider' from json-routes-loader module and pre-sets this provider as context. This context will be use by the components return by withRouteContext().

Arguments

• ReactComponent (react-component - require): Any react-component.
• routeProviderOptions (Object): Object who respect the description of options from json-routes-loader

Return

New react component similar to ReactComponent

withRouteContext

withRouteContext(ReactComponent[, Route[, Switch]]);

This function connect a 'react-component' to the context of the 'routes-provider'. It return the new connected component who must only be used as child (no necessarly as direct child) of component returned by the withRouteContext() function.

Arguments

• ReactComponent (react-component - require): Any react-component.
• Route (react component): the Route component of react-router from your application. if setted, you have access to the <ReactComponent.Routes /> component.
• Switch (react component): the Switch component of react-router from your application. if setted, you have access to the <ReactComponent.Switch /> component.

Return

A new react component similar to ReactComponent. When this component is mounted inside a parent who resulted from withRouteContext(), it automatically receive these pre-setted props :

• RouteProvider (Object): The used 'routes-provider' from json-routes-loader module.
• path (String): The path (or route) of the current view.
• dataRoute (Any): The data contens in the payload of the view (See the doc of loadRoute() method from json-routes-loader)

Evolved Components from withRouteContext()

If you set the arguments Switch and/or Route during call of withRouteContext(), like this (by example) :

import { Route, Switch } from "react-router-dom";

const ReactComponent = props => <div {...props}>

const RoutedComponent = withRouteContext(ReactComponent, Route, Switch);

So you have access to thes evolve components :

- <RoutedComponent.Routes {...anyProps} />

Represente an list (array) of RoutedComponent for each route of the route-provider. You can directly use this component as child of a <Switch /> component (from react-router). All props of this component are passed to each <RoutedComponent /> of this list.

sample :

Const App = () => ()
    <div className="App">
        <Router>
            <Switch>
                <MyLayout.Routes userProps="Hey ! It's me, Luigi ! " />
                <Route path='/any/thing'>
                    <AnyOtherComponent {...someProps}/>
                </Route>
            </Switch>
        </Router>
    </div>
)

- <RoutedComponent.Switch {...anyProps} />

Represente a <Switch> with a list (array) of RoutedComponent for each route of the route-provider as children (like <RoutedComponent.Routes {...anyProps} /> above). You can directly use this component as child of a <Router /> component (from react-router, like <BrowserRouter />, <HashRouter />, etc.). All props of this component are passed to each <RoutedComponent /> of this list. (See the first sample on top).
