Router

Behaviors

• Parses the current URL to the redux state.
• Provides public methods for the page/dialog navigation.
• Handles Anchor Tag navigation.

Usage pattern

import { init, registerFallbackCallback } from '@dreamworld/router';

// init routing flow
init(URLs, store);

// Register fallback callback
registerFallbackCallback(callback)

// Exports all the methods provides by the router module
export * from '@dreamworld/router'; 

URLs: format of the URLs

This Object contains all page/dialog Urls of the application. format is as below:

URLs = {
  pages: [{
    module: 'contacts',
    name: 'contact-list',
    pathPattern: '/:companyId/contacts',
    pathParams: {
      companyId: Number
    },
    queryParams: {
      s: {
        name: "size",
        type: String //Boolean, Number
      },
      ids: {
        name:: "docIds",
        type: String,
        array: true
      }
    },
    arrayFormat: "separator" //It will override default global config
    arrayFormatSeparator: "|"
  }],

  dialogs: [{
    name: 'contact-view',
    pathPattern: '#contact-view',
    queryParams: {}
  }]
}

Notes

• When array=true, type specified type of an array element.

• As default value of type is String, when type isn't defined for queryParams, then it always parse as String. If array: true isn't specified and queryParam's value is comma separated then it would be parsed as String.

• To make path parameter optional use ?. e.g. /:companyId/contact/:tab?.

• All the keys except pathPattern, pathParams, queryParams will be provided as it is in the parsed object.

• Provide comma separated value in query params to parse it as Array. e.g ids=1,2,3,4

• It will parse query params in related data type.

  • e.g. URL params is ?action=edit&ids=d64bd8f3ef4463d048963790dcf53193,8b0397b832e9d654e67fa3a5e6935d16&archived=true&count=2.
    • parsed object of above params is as below:

      {
        "action":"edit",
        "ids":["d64bd8f3ef4463d048963790dcf53193","8b0397b832e9d654e67fa3a5e6935d16"],
        "archived":true,
        "count":2
      }
