How can I use MUI Link component with parameters?

[shorn]

Route definition:

export const itemViewRoute = new Route({
  getParentRoute: () => rootRoute,
  path: 'item/$itemId/view',
  component: ViewItem
});

export function ViewItem(){
  const params = useParams({from: itemViewRoute.id})
  return <>
    <SmallContentMain>
      <ContainerCard title={`View Item ${params.itemId}`}>
        <TextSpan>Description: "description of {params.itemId}"</TextSpan>
      </ContainerCard>

    </SmallContentMain>
  </>
}

Working link using Router's component:

<ListItem>
  <RouterLink to={itemViewRoute.to}
    params={{itemId: "42"}} search={{}}
  >
    View Item 42 (RouterLink)
  </RouterLink>
</ListItem>

Working (but failing to type-check) link using MUI component:

<ListItem>
  <MuiLink component={RouterLink}
    to={itemViewRoute.to}
    preload={'intent'}
    search={{}} params={{itemId: '42'}}
  >
    View Item 42 (MuiLink)
  </MuiLink>
</ListItem>

import Link, { LinkProps } from '@mui/material/Link';

import { AnyRoute, MakeLinkOptions, RegisteredRouter, Link as RouterLink } from '@tanstack/react-router';

type LinkRouterProps<TRouteTree extends AnyRoute = RegisteredRouter['routeTree'], TTo extends string = ''> =
MakeLinkOptions<TRouteTree, '/', TTo> & LinkProps;

export default function LinkRouter<TRouteTree extends AnyRoute = RegisteredRouter['routeTree'],TTo extends string = ''>
(props:LinkRouterProps<TRouteTree, TTo>) {
  return <Link {...props} component={RouterLink as any} />;
}

//Usage
<LinkRouter underline="hover" activeOptions={{ exact: true }} to={"/MyProfile"} sx={{ color: 'primary.contrastText' }}>
  My Profile
</LinkRouter>

I can share the code here next Monday if you want. I'm currently on a small vacation.

[nathan-isaac]

Thanks, that would be great. Enjoy your vacation.

Hello @nathan-isaac.

I don't have the active state on the custom RouterButton, but, I'm using it to highlight a ListItem. Although you can use the same logic to highlight the button. Here it is:

  const matchRoute = useMatchRoute();

  const match = useCallback(
    (path?: string) => {
      if (!path) {
        return false;
      }

      return Boolean(matchRoute({ to: path }));
    },
    [matchRoute],
  );

[nathan-isaac]

Thanks!

[ruiaraujo012]

You're welcome. I hope that it could help.

Had a similar problem with Button from @mui/joy, I adapted your solution @shanu-mol:

import { Link, LinkOptions, RegisteredRouter } from '@tanstack/react-router';
import { Button, ButtonProps } from '@mui/joy';

type ButtonLinkProps<TTo extends string = ''> = LinkOptions<RegisteredRouter['routeTree'], '/', TTo> & ButtonProps;

export function ButtonLink<TTo extends string = ''>(props: ButtonLinkProps<TTo>) {
  return <Button component={Link} {...props} />;
}

Any example with forwardRef?

[shanu-mol]

import { forwardRef } from 'react';
import Link, { type LinkProps } from '@mui/material/Link';

import { type AnyRoute, type LinkOptions, type RegisteredRouter, Link as RouterLink } from '@tanstack/react-router';

type LinkRouterProps<TRouteTree extends AnyRoute = RegisteredRouter['routeTree'], TTo extends string = ''> =
MakeLinkOptions<TRouteTree, '/', TTo> & LinkProps;

const LinkRouter = forwardRef(function <
  TRouteTree extends AnyRoute = RegisteredRouter['routeTree'],
  TTo extends string = '',
>(props: LinkRouterProps<TRouteTree, TTo>, ref: React.ForwardedRef<HTMLAnchorElement>) {
  return <Link {...props} ref={ref} component={RouterLink} />;
});

export default LinkRouter;

[ruiaraujo012]

Thank you, I'm using createLink now.

[laurentDellaNegra]

@ruiaraujo012 do you have an example pls ?

[ruiaraujo012]

Yes, it's here

[NehrDani]

Funny enough it seems it suffices just to wrap the component in createLink

import {Button} from "@mui/material"
import { createLink } from "@tanstack/react-router"

const RouterButton = createLink(Button)

[laurentDellaNegra]

Funny enough it seems it suffices just to wrap the component in createLink

import {Button} from "@mui/material"

import { createLink } from "@tanstack/react-router"



const RouterButton = createLink(Button)

Yes this is the way

[matt-erhart]

This is the way indeed

[ruiaraujo012]

Oh nice, last time I tried it didn't work.
