  Solid Router




# Solid Router [![npm Version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@solidjs/router.svg?style=flat-square)](https://www.npmjs.org/package/@solidjs/router)



**Version 0.10.0 requires Solid v1.8.4 or later.**



A router lets you change your view based on the URL in the browser. This allows your "single-page" application to simulate a traditional multipage site. To use Solid Router, you specify components called Routes that depend on the value of the URL (the "path"), and the router handles the mechanism of swapping them in and out.



Solid Router is a universal router for SolidJS - it works whether you're rendering on the client or on the server. It was inspired by and combines paradigms of React Router and the Ember Router. Routes can be defined directly in your app's template using JSX, but you can also pass your route configuration directly as an object. It also supports nested routing, so navigation can change a part of a component, rather than completely replacing it.



It supports all of Solid's SSR methods and has Solid's transitions baked in, so use it freely with suspense, resources, and lazy components. Solid Router also allows you to define a load function that loads parallel to the routes ([render-as-you-fetch](https://epicreact.dev/render-as-you-fetch/)).

## Getting Started



### Set Up the Router



```sh

> npm i @solidjs/router

```



Install `@solidjs/router`, then start your application by rendering the router component



```jsx

import { render } from "solid-js/web";

import { Router } from "@solidjs/router";



render(

  () => ,

  document.getElementById("app")

);

```



This sets up a Router that will match on the url to display the desired page



### Configure Your Routes



Solid Router allows you to configure your routes using JSX:



1. Add each route to a `` using the `Route` component, specifying a path and a component to render when the user navigates to that path.



```jsx

import { render } from "solid-js/web";

import { Router, Route } from "@solidjs/router";



import Home from "./pages/Home";

import Users from "./pages/Users";



render(() => (

  

    

    

  

), document.getElementById("app"));

```

2. Provide a root level layout



This will always be there and won't update on page change. It is the ideal place to put top level navigation and Context Providers



```jsx

import { render } from "solid-js/web";

import { Router, Route } from "@solidjs/router";



import Home from "./pages/Home";

import Users from "./pages/Users";



const App = props => (

  <>

    
My Site with lots of pages


    {props.children}

  >

)



render(() => (

  

    

    

  

), document.getElementById("app"));

```



3. Create a CatchAll Route (404 page)



We can create catchall routes for pages not found at any nested level of the router. We use `*` and optionally the name of a parameter to retrieve the rest of the path.



```jsx

import { render } from "solid-js/web";

import { Router, Route } from "@solidjs/router";



import Home from "./pages/Home";

import Users from "./pages/Users";

import NotFound from "./pages/404";



const App = props => (

  <>

    
My Site with lots of pages


    {props.children}

  >

)



render(() => (

  

    

    

    

  

), document.getElementById("app"));

```



4. Lazy-load route components



This way, the `Users` and `Home` components will only be loaded if you're navigating to `/users` or `/`, respectively.



```jsx

import { lazy } from "solid-js";

import { render } from "solid-js/web";

import { Router, Route } from "@solidjs/router";



const Users = lazy(() => import("./pages/Users"));

const Home = lazy(() => import("./pages/Home"));



const App = props => (

  <>

    
My Site with lots of pages


    {props.children}

  >

)



render(() => (

  

    

    

  

), document.getElementById("app"));

```



### Create Links to Your Routes



Use an anchor tag that takes you to a route:



```jsx

import { lazy } from "solid-js";

import { render } from "solid-js/web";

import { Router, Route } from "@solidjs/router";



const Users = lazy(() => import("./pages/Users"));

const Home = lazy(() => import("./pages/Home"));



const App = props => (

  <>

    

      About

      Home

    

    
My Site with lots of pages


    {props.children}

  >

);



render(() => (

  

    

    

  

), document.getElementById("app"));

```



## Dynamic Routes



If you don't know the path ahead of time, you might want to treat part of the path as a flexible parameter that is passed on to the component.



```jsx

import { lazy } from "solid-js";

import { render } from "solid-js/web";

import { Router, Route } from "@solidjs/router";



const Users = lazy(() => import("./pages/Users"));

const User = lazy(() => import("./pages/User"));

const Home = lazy(() => import("./pages/Home"));



render(() => (

  

    

    

    

  

 ), document.getElementById("app"));

```



The colon indicates that `id` can be any string, and as long as the URL fits that pattern, the `User` component will show.



You can then access that `id` from within a route component with `useParams`.



**Note on Animation/Transitions**:

Routes that share the same path match will be treated as the same route. If you want to force re-render you can wrap your component in a keyed `` like:

```jsx



```

---



Each path parameter can be validated using a `MatchFilter`.

This allows for more complex routing descriptions than just checking the presence of a parameter.



```jsx

import { lazy } from "solid-js";

import { render } from "solid-js/web";

import { Router, Route } from "@solidjs/router";

import type { SegmentValidators } from "./types";



const User = lazy(() => import("./pages/User"));



const filters: MatchFilters = {

  parent: ["mom", "dad"], // allow enum values

  id: /^\d+$/, // only allow numbers

  withHtmlExtension: (v: string) => v.length > 5 && v.endsWith(".html"), // we want an `*.html` extension

};



render(() => (

  

    

  

), document.getElementById("app"));

```



Here, we have added the `matchFilters` prop. This allows us to validate the `parent`, `id` and `withHtmlExtension` parameters against the filters defined in `filters`.

If the validation fails, the route will not match.



So in this example:



- `/users/mom/123/contact.html` would match,

- `/users/dad/123/about.html` would match,

- `/users/aunt/123/contact.html` would not match as `:parent` is not 'mom' or 'dad',

- `/users/mom/me/contact.html` would not match as `:id` is not a number,

- `/users/dad/123/contact` would not match as `:withHtmlExtension` is missing `.html`.



---



### Optional Parameters



Parameters can be specified as optional by adding a question mark to the end of the parameter name:



```jsx

// Matches stories and stories/123 but not stories/123/comments



```



### Wildcard Routes



`:param` lets you match an arbitrary name at that point in the path. You can use `*` to match any end of the path:



```jsx

// Matches any path that begins with foo, including foo/, foo/a/, foo/a/b/c



```



If you want to expose the wild part of the path to the component as a parameter, you can name it:



```jsx



```



Note that the wildcard token must be the last part of the path; `foo/*any/bar` won't create any routes.



### Multiple Paths



Routes also support defining multiple paths using an array. This allows a route to remain mounted and not rerender when switching between two or more locations that it matches:



```jsx

// Navigating from login to register does not cause the Login component to re-render



```



## Nested Routes



The following two route definitions have the same result:



```jsx



```



```jsx



  



```



`/users/:id` renders the `` component, and `/users/` is an empty route.



Only leaf Route nodes (innermost `Route` components) are given a route. If you want to make the parent its own route, you have to specify it separately:



```jsx

//This won't work the way you'd expect



  



// This works



// This also works



  

  



```



You can also take advantage of nesting by using `props.children` passed to the route component.



```jsx

function PageWrapper(props) {

  return (

    


      
 We love our users! 


      {props.children}

      Back Home

    


  );

}



  

  

;

```



The routes are still configured the same, but now the route elements will appear inside the parent element where the `props.children` was declared.



You can nest indefinitely - just remember that only leaf nodes will become their own routes. In this example, the only route created is `/layer1/layer2`, and it appears as three nested divs.



```jsx



    


      Onion starts here {props.children}

    


  }

>

  

      


        Another layer {props.children}

      


    }

  >

     
Innermost layer
}>           

  



```



## Load Functions



Even with smart caches it is possible that we have waterfalls both with view logic and with lazy loaded code. With load functions, we can instead start fetching the data parallel to loading the route, so we can use the data as soon as possible. The load function is called when the Route is loaded or eagerly when links are hovered.



As its only argument, the load function is passed an object that you can use to access route information:



```js

import { lazy } from "solid-js";

import { Route } from "@solidjs/router";



const User = lazy(() => import("./pages/users/[id].js"));



// load function

function loadUser({params, location}) {

  // do loading

}



// Pass it in the route definition

;

```



| key      | type                                              | description                                                                                                                   |

| -------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| params   | object                                            | The route parameters (same value as calling `useParams()` inside the route component)                                         |

| location | `{ pathname, search, hash, query, state, key}`    | An object that you can use to get more information about the path (corresponds to [`useLocation()`](#uselocation))        |

| intent | `"initial", "navigate", "native", "preload"` | Indicates why this function is being called. 
    

  • "initial" - the route is being initially shown (ie page load)
    • 

  • "native" - navigate originated from the browser (eg back/forward)
    • 

  • "navigate" - navigate originated from the router (eg call to navigate or anchor clicked)
    • 

  • "preload" - not navigating, just preloading (eg link hover)
    • 

 |



A common pattern is to export the load function and data wrappers that corresponds to a route in a dedicated `route.data.js` file. This way, the data function can be imported without loading anything else.



```js

import { lazy } from "solid-js";

import { Route } from "@solidjs/router";

import loadUser from "./pages/users/[id].data.js";

const User = lazy(() => import("/pages/users/[id].js"));



// In the Route definition

;

```



The return value of the `load` function is passed to the page component when called at anytime other than `"preload"`, so you can initialize things in there, or alternatively use our new Data APIs:



## Data APIs



Keep in mind these are completely optional. To use but showcase the power of our load mechanism.



### `cache`



To prevent duplicate fetching and to trigger handle refetching we provide a cache api. That takes a function and returns the same function.



```jsx

const getUser = cache(async (id) => {

  return (await fetch(`/api/users${id}`)).json()

}, "users") // used as cache key + serialized arguments

```

It is expected that the arguments to the cache function are serializable.



This cache accomplishes the following:



1. It does just deduping on the server for the lifetime of the request.

2. It does preload cache in the browser which lasts 10 seconds. When a route is preloaded on hover or when load is called when entering a route it will make sure to dedupe calls.

3. We have a reactive refetch mechanism based on key. So we can tell routes that aren't new to retrigger on action revalidation.

4. It will serve as a back/forward cache for browser navigation up to 5 mins. Any user based navigation or link click bypasses it. Revalidation or new fetch updates the cache.



Using it with load function might look like:



```js

import { lazy } from "solid-js";

import { Route } from "@solidjs/router";

import { getUser } from ... // the cache function



const User = lazy(() => import("./pages/users/[id].js"));



// load function

function loadUser({params, location}) {

  void getUser(params.id)

}



// Pass it in the route definition

;

```



Inside your page component you:



```jsx

// pages/users/[id].js

import { getUser } from ... // the cache function



export default function User(props) {

  const user = createAsync(() => getUser(props.params.id));

  return 
{user().name}
;

}

```



Cached function has a few useful methods for getting the key that are useful for invalidation.

```ts

let id = 5;



getUser.key // returns "users"

getUser.keyFor(id) // returns "users[5]"

```



You can revalidate the cache using the `revalidate` method or you can set `revalidate` keys on your response from your actions. If you pass the whole key it will invalidate all the entries for the cache (ie "users" in the example above). You can also invalidate a single entry by using `keyFor`.



`cache` can be defined anywhere and then used inside your components with:



### `createAsync`



This is light wrapper over `createResource` that aims to serve as stand-in for a future primitive we intend to bring to Solid core in 2.0. It is a simpler async primitive where the function tracks like `createMemo` and it expects a promise back that it turns into a Signal. Reading it before it is ready causes Suspense/Transitions to trigger.



```jsx

const user = createAsync((currentValue) => getUser(params.id))

```



Using `cache` in `createResource` directly won't work properly as the fetcher is not reactive and it won't invalidate properly.



### `createAsyncStore`



Similar to `createAsync` except it uses a deeply reactive store. Perfect for applying fine-grained changes to large model data that updates.



```jsx

const todos = createAsyncStore(() => getTodos());

```



### `action`



Actions are data mutations that can trigger invalidations and further routing. A list of prebuilt response helpers can be found below.

```jsx

import { action, revalidate, redirect } from "@solidjs/router"



// anywhere

const myAction = action(async (data) => {

  await doMutation(data);

  throw redirect("/", { revalidate: getUser.keyFor(data.id) }); // throw a response to do a redirect

});



// in component



//or



```



Actions only work with post requests, so make sure to put `method="post"` on your form.



Sometimes it might be easier to deal with typed data instead of `FormData` and adding additional hidden fields. For that reason Actions have a with method. That works similar to `bind` which applies the arguments in order.



Picture an action that deletes Todo Item:



```js

const deleteTodo = action(async (formData: FormData) => {

  const id = Number(formData.get("id"))

  await api.deleteTodo(id)

})



  

  Delete



```

Instead with `with` you can write this:

```js

const deleteUser = action(api.deleteTodo)



  Delete



```



#### Notes of `` implementation and SSR

This requires stable references as you can only serialize a string as an attribute, and across SSR they'd need to match. The solution is providing a unique name.



```jsx

const myAction = action(async (args) => {}, "my-action");

```



### `useAction`



Instead of forms you can use actions directly by wrapping them in a `useAction` primitive. This is how we get the router context.



```jsx

// in component

const submit = useAction(myAction)

submit(...args)

```



The outside of a form context you can use custom data instead of formData, and these helpers preserve types. However, even when used with server functions (in projects like SolidStart) this requires client side javascript and is not Progressive Enhancible like forms are.



### `useSubmission`/`useSubmissions`



Are used to injecting the optimistic updates while actions are in flight. They either return a single Submission(latest) or all that match with an optional filter function.



```jsx

type Submission = {

  readonly input: T;

  readonly result?: U;

  readonly pending: boolean;

  readonly url: string;

  clear: () => void;

  retry: () => void;

};



const submissions = useSubmissions(action, (input) => filter(input));

const submission = useSubmission(action, (input) => filter(input));

```



### Response Helpers



These are used to communicate router navigations from cache/actions, and can include invalidation hints. Generally these are thrown to not interfere the with the types and make it clear that function ends execution at that point.



#### `redirect(path, options)`



Redirects to the next route

```js

const getUser = cache(() => {

  const user = await api.getCurrentUser()

  if (!user) throw redirect("/login");

  return user;

})

```



#### `reload(options)`



Reloads the data on the current page

```js

const getTodo = cache(async (id: number) => {

  const todo = await fetchTodo(id);

  return todo;

}, "todo")



const updateTodo = action(async (todo: Todo) => {

  await updateTodo(todo.id, todo);

  reload({ revalidate: getTodo.keyFor(id) })

})

```



## Config Based Routing



You don't have to use JSX to set up your routes; you can pass an array of route definitions:



```jsx

import { lazy } from "solid-js";

import { render } from "solid-js/web";

import { Router } from "@solidjs/router";



const routes = [

  {

    path: "/users",

    component: lazy(() => import("/pages/users.js")),

  },

  {

    path: "/users/:id",

    component: lazy(() => import("/pages/users/[id].js")),

    children: [

      {

        path: "/",

        component: lazy(() => import("/pages/users/[id]/index.js")),

      },

      {

        path: "/settings",

        component: lazy(() => import("/pages/users/[id]/settings.js")),

      },

      {

        path: "/*all",

        component: lazy(() => import("/pages/users/[id]/[...all].js")),

      },

    ],

  },

  {

    path: "/",

    component: lazy(() => import("/pages/index.js")),

  },

  {

    path: "/*all",

    component: lazy(() => import("/pages/[...all].js")),

  },

];



render(() =>

  {routes},

  document.getElementById("app")

);

```



Also you can pass a single route definition object for a single route:



```jsx

import { lazy } from "solid-js";

import { render } from "solid-js/web";

import { Router } from "@solidjs/router";



const route = {

  path: "/",

  component: lazy(() => import("/pages/index.js"))

};



render(() => {route}, document.getElementById("app"));

```



## Alternative Routers



### Hash Mode Router



By default, Solid Router uses `location.pathname` as route path. You can simply switch to hash mode through using ``.



```jsx

import { HashRouter } from "@solidjs/router";



;

```



### Memory Mode Router



You can also use memory mode router for testing purpose.



```jsx

import { MemoryRouter } from "@solidjs/router";



;

```



### SSR Routing



For SSR you can use the static router directly or the browser Router defaults to it on the server, just pass in the url.



```jsx

import { isServer } from "solid-js/web";

import { Router } from "@solidjs/router";



;

```



## Components



### ``



This is the main Router component for the browser.



| prop | type | description |

|-----|----|----|

| children | `JSX.Element`, `RouteDefinition`, or `RouteDefinition[]` | The route definitions |

| root | Component | Top level layout component |

| base | string | Base url to use for matching routes |

| actionBase | string | Root url for server actions, default: `/_server` |

| preload | boolean | Enables/disables preloads globally, default: `true` |

| explicitLinks | boolean | Disables all anchors being intercepted and instead requires ``. default: `false` |



### ``



Like the `` tag but supports automatic apply of base path + relative paths and active class styling (requires client side JavaScript).



The `` tag has an `active` class if its href matches the current location, and `inactive` otherwise. **Note:** By default matching includes locations that are descendents (eg. href `/users` matches locations `/users` and `/users/123`), use the boolean `end` prop to prevent matching these. This is particularly useful for links to the root route `/` which would match everything.



| prop          |  type   | description                                                                                                                                                                              |

| ------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| href          | string  | The path of the route to navigate to. This will be resolved relative to the route that the link is in, but you can preface it with `/` to refer back to the root.                        |

| noScroll      | boolean | If true, turn off the default behavior of scrolling to the top of the new page                                                                                                           |

| replace       | boolean | If true, don't add a new entry to the browser history. (By default, the new page will be added to the browser history, so pressing the back button will take you to the previous route.) |

| state         | unknown | [Push this value](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History/pushState) to the history stack when navigating                                                               |

| inactiveClass | string  | The class to show when the link is inactive (when the current location doesn't match the link)                                                                                           |

| activeClass   | string  | The class to show when the link is active                                                                                                                                                |

| end           | boolean | If `true`, only considers the link to be active when the curent location matches the `href` exactly; if `false`, check if the current location _starts with_ `href`                      |



### ``



Solid Router provides a `Navigate` component that works similarly to `A`, but it will _immediately_ navigate to the provided path as soon as the component is rendered. It also uses the `href` prop, but you have the additional option of passing a function to `href` that returns a path to navigate to:



```jsx

function getPath({ navigate, location }) {

  // navigate is the result of calling useNavigate(); location is the result of calling useLocation().

  // You can use those to dynamically determine a path to navigate to

  return "/some-path";

}



// Navigating to /redirect will redirect you to the result of getPath

 } />;

```



### ``



The Component for defining Routes:



| prop | type | description |

|-|-|-|

| path | string | Path partial for defining the route segment |

| component | `Component` | Component that will be rendered for the matched segment |

| matchFilters | `MatchFilters` | Additional constraints for matching against the route |

| children | `JSX.Element` | Nested `` definitions |

| load | `RouteLoadFunc` | Function called during preload or when the route is navigated to. |



## Router Primitives



Solid Router provides a number of primitives that read off the Router and Route context.



### useParams



Retrieves a reactive, store-like object containing the current route path parameters as defined in the Route.



```js

const params = useParams();



// fetch user based on the id path parameter

const [user] = createResource(() => params.id, fetchUser);

```



### useNavigate



Retrieves method to do navigation. The method accepts a path to navigate to and an optional object with the following options:



- resolve (_boolean_, default `true`): resolve the path against the current route

- replace (_boolean_, default `false`): replace the history entry

- scroll (_boolean_, default `true`): scroll to top after navigation

- state (_any_, default `undefined`): pass custom state to `location.state`



**Note:** The state is serialized using the [structured clone algorithm](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API/Structured_clone_algorithm) which does not support all object types.



```js

const navigate = useNavigate();



if (unauthorized) {

  navigate("/login", { replace: true });

}

```



### useLocation



Retrieves reactive `location` object useful for getting things like `pathname`



```js

const location = useLocation();



const pathname = createMemo(() => parsePath(location.pathname));

```



### useSearchParams



Retrieves a tuple containing a reactive object to read the current location's query parameters and a method to update them. The object is a proxy so you must access properties to subscribe to reactive updates. Note values will be strings and property names will retain their casing.



The setter method accepts an object whose entries will be merged into the current query string. Values `''`, `undefined` and `null` will remove the key from the resulting query string. Updates will behave just like a navigation and the setter accepts the same optional second parameter as `navigate` and auto-scrolling is disabled by default.



```js

const [searchParams, setSearchParams] = useSearchParams();



return (

  


    Page: {searchParams.page}

    

        setSearchParams({ page: (parseInt(searchParams.page) || 0) + 1 })

      }

    >

      Next Page

    

  


);

```



### useIsRouting



Retrieves signal that indicates whether the route is currently in a Transition. Useful for showing stale/pending state when the route resolution is Suspended during concurrent rendering.



```js

const isRouting = useIsRouting();



return (

  


    

  


);

```



### useMatch



`useMatch` takes an accessor that returns the path and creates a Memo that returns match information if the current path matches the provided path. Useful for determining if a given path matches the current route.



```js

const match = useMatch(() => props.href);



return 
;

```



### useCurrentMatches



`useCurrentMatches` returns all the matches for the current matched route. Useful for getting all the route information.



For example if you stored breadcrumbs on your route definition you could retrieve them like so:

```js

const matches = useCurrentMatches();

const breadcrumbs = createMemo(() => matches().map(m => m.route.info.breadcrumb))

```



### useBeforeLeave



`useBeforeLeave` takes a function that will be called prior to leaving a route. The function will be called with:



- from (_Location_): current location (before change).

- to (_string | number_}: path passed to `navigate`.

- options (_NavigateOptions_}: options passed to `navigate`.

- preventDefault (_void function_): call to block the route change.

- defaultPrevented (_readonly boolean_): true if any previously called leave handlers called preventDefault().

- retry (_void function_, _force?: boolean_ ): call to retry the same navigation, perhaps after confirming with the user. Pass `true` to skip running the leave handlers again (ie force navigate without confirming).



Example usage:



```js

useBeforeLeave((e: BeforeLeaveEventArgs) => {

  if (form.isDirty && !e.defaultPrevented) {

    // preventDefault to block immediately and prompt user async

    e.preventDefault();

    setTimeout(() => {

      if (window.confirm("Discard unsaved changes - are you sure?")) {

        // user wants to proceed anyway so retry with force=true

        e.retry(true);

      }

    }, 100);

  }

});

```



## Migrations from 0.9.x



v0.10.0 brings some big changes to support the future of routing including Islands/Partial Hydration hybrid solutions. Most notably there is no Context API available in non-hydrating parts of the application.



The biggest changes are around removed APIs that need to be replaced.



### ``, ``, `useRoutes`



This is no longer used and instead will use `props.children` passed from into the page components for outlets. This keeps the outlet directly passed from its page and avoids oddness of trying to use context across Islands boundaries. Nested `` components inherently cause waterfalls and are `` themselves so they have the same concerns.



Keep in mind no `` means the `` API is different. The `` acts as the `` component and its children can only be `` components. Your top-level layout should go in the root prop of the router [as shown above](#configure-your-routes)



## `element` prop removed from `Route`



Related without Outlet component it has to be passed in manually. At which point the `element` prop has less value. Removing the second way to define route components to reduce confusion and edge cases.



### `data` functions & `useRouteData`



These have been replaced by a load mechanism. This  allows link hover preloads (as the load function can be run as much as wanted without worry about reactivity). It support deduping/cache APIs which give more control over how things are cached. It also addresses TS issues with getting the right types in the Component without `typeof` checks.



That being said you can reproduce the old pattern largely by turning off preloads at the router level and then injecting your own Context:



```js

import { lazy } from "solid-js";

import { Route } from "@solidjs/router";



const User = lazy(() => import("./pages/users/[id].js"));



// load function

function loadUser({params, location}) {

  const [user] = createResource(() => params.id, fetchUser);

  return user;

}



// Pass it in the route definition



  



```



And then in your component taking the page props and putting them in a Context.

```js

function User(props) {

  

    {/* my component content  */}

  

}



// Somewhere else

function UserDetails() {

  const user = useContext(UserContext)

  // render stuff

}

```



## SPAs in Deployed Environments



When deploying applications that use a client side router that does not rely on Server Side Rendering you need to handle redirects to your index page so that loading from other URLs does not cause your CDN or Hosting to return not found for pages that aren't actually there.



Each provider has a different way of doing this. For example on Netlify you create a `_redirects` file that contains:



```sh

/*   /index.html   200

```



On Vercel you add a rewrites section to your `vercel.json`:



```json

{

  "rewrites": [

    {

      "source": "/(.*)",

      "destination": "/index.html"

    }

  ]

}

```
