# FicusJS router

FicusJS

Lightweight standalone client-side router that supports history and hash routing.

## Features

- Declarative route set-up
- Two modes of routing - history and hash
- Routes render web components or HTML strings
- Routes can be sync or async
- Provide context to routes
- Handle redirects from routes
- Named URL parameters
- Guard navigations by redirecting or cancelling
- Outlets act as placeholders for rendering content per route
- Control navigation with methods
- Lazy load views based on route
- Start router programmatically

## Documentation

See the [full documentation](https://docs.ficusjs.org/router).

## Getting started

The easiest way to try out FicusJS router is using a simple example.

Create an `index.html` file and copy the following between the `` tags.

```html

import { createRouter } from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/@ficusjs/router@3'
import { createComponent } from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/ficusjs@5'
import { renderer, html } from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/@ficusjs/renderers@5/lit-html'

createComponent('home-page', {
renderer,
render () {
return html`<div>Welcome to the home page!</div>`
}
})

createComponent('page-one', {
renderer,
render () {
return html`<div>Welcome to the page one!</div>`
}
})

createComponent('page-two', {
renderer,
render () {
return html`<div>Welcome to the page two!</div>`
}
})

const router = createRouter([
{ path: '', component: 'home-page' },
{ path: '/one', component: 'page-one' },
{ path: '/two', component: 'page-two' }
], '#router-outlet', { mode: 'hash' })

createComponent('top-nav', {
renderer,
navigateTo (path) {
router.push(path)
},
render () {
return html`
<nav>
<ul>
<li><button type="button" @click="${() => this.navigateTo('/')}">Home</button></li>
<li><button type="button" @click="${() => this.navigateTo('/one')}">Page one</button></li>
<li><button type="button" @click="${() => this.navigateTo('/two')}">Page two</button></li>
</ul>
</nav>
`
}
})

```

> Alternatively, fork this Codepen to see it in action - [https://codepen.io/ducksoupdev/pen/PoNvGwK](https://codepen.io/ducksoupdev/pen/PoNvGwK)

The example creates a set of page components, a page navigation component and a new router using hash mode.

## Installation

```

FicusJS router is available on [Skypack](https://www.skypack.dev/view/@ficusjs/router).
