AvenueJS

An extremely small TypeScript routing library

Introduction

Avenue is a client side router that focuses on speed and size (~800Bytes). The API is heavily influenced by the AngularJS router and gibon.js. An unique feature of Avenue is the usage of URL hashes instead of full URLs to ensure compatibility for different web servers.

Usage

npm install avenuejs

API

import {Avenue} from "avenuejs";

const router = new Avenue({
    "/": () => console.log("Home"),
    "/about": () => console.log("About"),
    "/users/:user": params => console.log(`User: '${params.user}'`),
    "/users/:user/edit": params => console.log(`User edit: '${params.user}'`),
    "/groups/:group/users/:user/edit": params =>
        console.log(`User edit: '${params.user}' from group '${params.group}'`),
    "?": (params, path, e) =>
        // Fallback function
        console.log(
            `URL doesn't match any route: '${path}'; Parameters: ${params}, Event: ${e}`
        )
});

In this case we initialize a router that binds multiple functions for the different routes. Every path should start with a "/"(except the fallback, more on that later).

If a part of the path starts with ":" it will be marked as variable that will be provided in the params object. (ex: the path variable "/:foo/" will be available in the param object as the key "foo").

If no route matches, the fallback route under the path "?" will be called.

DOM

Avenue does not require special bindings on your links, all you have to do is have your links href start with a "#":

<!-- Router links -->
<a href="#/">home</a>
<a href="#/about">/about</a>

<!-- Normal link -->
<a href="/back">/back</a>
