React Keeper

React Keeper is a routing library of React, but more than router.
React-Router is a great product, we learned a lot from it. But we truely faced many problems that React-Router doesn't resolve in real using, especially in mobile APPs.
We did a lot to let React-Keeper fit mobile APPs, such as Pages Cache, Extensible Routing...
We create a lot of flexible ways, so you can config the router more simplely. And more...

Features

1. Extensible route

You can add route components anywhere,anytime.

const App = ()=> {
  return (
    <HashRouter>
      <div>
        <Route cache component={ Home } path="/"/>
        <Route component={ Products } path="/products"/>
      </div>
    </HashRouter>
  )
}

const Products = ()=> {
  return (
    <div>
      <Route component={ ScienceProducts } path="/sci" />
      <Route component={ DailiUseProducts } path="/dai" />
    </div>
  )
}

ReactDOM.render(<App/>, document.getElementById('root'))

2. Pages Cache

Cache pages' state while not matched, and recover them when matched. Certainly you can config which one to cache.

1. Use cache tag to cache a page.
2. Use CacheLink Component to hold a will-unmount's page when open a new page.

  <Route cache component={Home} path='/'/>

  <CacheLink to='/product/ASDFADF'>Detail</CacheLink>

3. Supports loading components dynamicly

Load a component dynamicly when it's route matches, such as:

<Route loadComponent={ (callback)=>{
    System.import('../Products.js').then((Products)=>{
        callback(Products)
      })
  } } path='/products'/>

4. Supports enter(and leave) filters

• Enter filters, filters run before a route mount succeed, such as : login's check.
• Leave filters, filters run before a route unmount succeed, such as : unsubmited form data.

<HashRouter>
  <Route path='/user' component={User}, enterFilter={[ loginFilter, (cb, props)=>{ if(props.access) cb()} ] } />
</HashRouter>

5. Pretty flexible

• index tag : Index page of a module.
• miss tag : When miss match.
• cache tag : Cache a page for preventing to unmount after it mounted.

<HashRouter>
  <div>

    <Route cache component={ Home } path="/"/>

    <Route component={ Products } path="/products" enterFilter={ loginFilter }>
      <Route index component={Enterprise} path="/ep"/>
      <Route miss component={ NotFound }/>
      <Route component={ Detail } path="/item/:id" time={new Date().toLocaleString()}/>
    </Route>

    <Route component={ Home }  path="/products">
      <Route index component={ ProductNav }/>
    </Route>

  </div>
</HashRouter>

6. In the future

• Supports rendering in server side

• Memory of scroll position
  Remember the scroll positions of every page, for scrolling to same position when back to a page.

Usage

App.js

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
import { HashRouter, Route } from 'react-keeper'
import User from './User'
// other import

class App extends Component {
  render(){
    return (
      <HashRouter>
        <div>

          <Route cache component={ Home } path="/"/>

          <Route component={ Products } path="/products" enterFilter={ loginFilter }>
            <Route index component={Enterprise} path="/ep"/>
            <Route miss component={ NotFound }/>
            <Route component={ Detail } path="/item/:id" time={new Date().toLocaleString()}/>
          </Route>

          <Route component={ User }  path="/user"/>

        </div>
      </HashRouter>
    )
  }
}

ReactDOM.render(<App/>, document.getElementById('root'))  

User.js

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import { Link, Route } from 'react-keeper'
// other import

export default class User extends Component {
  render(){
    return (
      <div>
        <ul>
          <Link to='/info'>Info</Link>
          <Link to='/edit'>Edit</Link>
        </ul>

        <div>
          <Route index component={ UserInfo } path='/info'/>
          <Route component={ UserInfoEdit } path='/edit'/>
        </div>
      </div>
    )
  }
}
