Typesafe Routes

typesafe-routes speeds up app development and cuts down on testing efforts by letting TypeScript catch route and parameter type inconsistencies. Your code will be more robust, making broken links a thing of the past.

typesafe-routes features include:

• Autocompletion for paths and parameters
• Path & template rendering
• Nested, absolute, and relative path rendering
• Parameter parsing and serialization
• Type-safe, customizable, and extendable
• Compatible with JavaScript (apart from type safety)
• Small bundle size starting at less than 1kb

Example

typescript playground

import { createRoutes, int, renderPath, parsePath, template } from "typesafe-routes";

// route tree definition
const routes = createRoutes({
  users: {
    path: ["users", int("uid")],    // /users/:uid
    children: {
      edit: { path: ["edit"] },     // /users/:uid/edit
      delete: { path: ["delete"] }, // /users/:uid/delete
    }
  }
});

// absolute paths
renderPath(routes.users, { uid: 123 }); // ~> "/users/123"

// nested paths
renderPath(routes.users.edit, { uid: 123 }); // ~> "/users/123/edit"
renderPath(routes.users.delete, { uid: 123 }); // ~> "/users/123/delete"

// relative paths ("_" indicates the starting segment)
renderPath(routes._.users, { uid: 123 }); // ~> "users/123"
renderPath(routes.users._.edit, {}); // ~> "edit"

// parse path params
parsePath(routes.users.edit, { uid: "42" }); // ~> { uid: 42 }
parsePath(routes.users.edit, "/users/99/edit"); // ~> { uid: 99 }

// templates 
template(routes.users.edit); // ~> "/users/:uid/edit"
template(routes._.users.edit); // ~> "users/:uid/edit"
template(routes.users._.edit); // ~> "edit"
