A React.js High-Order Component and decorator for parsing and resolving URLs inside your application.

Installation

npm i -S react react-url

API

URLProvider

import { render } from 'react-dom';
import { URLProvider } from 'react-url';

import App from './containers/App';

const urls = {
  profile: '/profile/:username/',
};

render(
  <URLProvider urls={urls}>
    <App />
  </URLProvider>,
  document.body,
);

• URLProvider is a High-Order Component.
• URLProvider expect only one property named urls.
• urls should be an object where the keys are the URLs names and the values are the unparsed url using the syntax of Express.js.

connectURL

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { connectURL } from 'react-url';

function mapURLToProps(getURL, props) {
  return {
    profileURL: getURL('profile', { username: props.username }),
  };
}

@connectURL(mapURLToProps)
class UserData extends Component { ... }

export default UserData;

• The connectURL argument (mapURLToProps) it's optional.
• If you don't supply it then it will add the getURL function as a property.
• The mapURLToProps function will receive the getURL function and props object as parameter and should return an object.
• The getURL function receive the URL name and an object with the parameters to use in it and return the parsed URL.
• You can use it as a decorator (like the example above) or just as a function and send them the component to connect.

parser

import { parser } from 'react-url';

const urls = {
  profile: '/profile/:username/',
};

const profileURL = parser(urls, 'profile', {
  username: 'sergiodxa',
});

• This is a Low-Level API and is used internally for the connectURL decorator, it's not expected that you use it directly.
• parser receive as arguments the urls map, the URL name and the options/parameters object.
• It will return the final parsed url string.
