bacon-routes Build Status

Route management, the bacon.js way.

Intro

Bacon.js is a library for functional reactive programming, you can get more information about it on the github project webpage.

The idea here is to handle history states and manage client-side routing using Bacon.js.

Install

You can install bacon-routes with bower or npm (in order to use it with browserify)

Using bower:

bower install --save bacon-routes

Using browserify, you currently have to put Bacon in the global scope:

npm install --save bacon-routes
/* In your javascript file */
var Bacon = window.Bacon = require("baconjs");
require("bacon-routes");

API

Bacon.history is a reactive property handling history changes.

Example:

Bacon.history.onValue(function(history) {
  console.log(history);
});
 
/* Prints:
  {
    "state": [history forwarded from popstate],
    "location": [window.location]
  }
*/

Bacon.history provides a pushState method in order to trigger the load of a URL. See the related MDN article for further documentation.

  Bacon.history.pushState(null, null, "/some-path/some-param");

Bacon.fromRoutes is a method creating streams for each given route.

Example:

var routes = Bacon.fromRoutes({
  routes: {
    "users":  "/users",
    "user":   "/users/:id"
  }
});
 
/* Log history */
routes.users.onValue(function(history) {
  console.log(history);
});
 
/* Log user id */
routes.user.map(function(history) {
  return history.params.id;
}).log();

By default, no event is sent until the next url change. To send an event at start, use a ready property:

var ready = new Bacon.Bus();
var routes = Bacon.fromRoutes({
  ready: ready.map(true).toProperty(false),
  routes: {
    "users":  "/users",
    "user":   "/users/:id"
  }
});
 
/* Log history */
routes.users.onValue(function(history) {
  console.log(history);
});
 
/* Log user id */
routes.user.map(function(history) {
  return history.params.id;
}).log();
 
ready.push("Stream subscribers are ready, sir!");
