A simple and safe router for React and TypeScript.

## Design principles

- **Typed routes**: improving the DX, and making sure all your params are here!

- **Component-friendly**: the router nicely fits in your React app.

- **Easy-to-use**: naming routes instead of moving around unsafe URLs.

- **Performant**: avoids any unnecessary render.

## Installation

```bash

$ yarn add @swan-io/chicane

# --- or ---

$ npm install --save @swan-io/chicane

```

## Quickstart

```tsx

import { createRouter } from "@swan-io/chicane";

import { match } from "ts-pattern";

const Router = createRouter({

  Home: "/",

  Users: "/users",

  User: "/users/:userId",

});

const App = () => {

  const route = Router.useRoute(["Home", "Users", "User"]);

  // route object is a discriminated union

  return match(route)

    .with({ name: "Home" }, () => 
Home
)

    .with({ name: "Users" }, () => 
Users
)

    .with({ name: "User" }, ({ params }) => 
User {params.userId}
) // params are strongly typed

    .otherwise(() => 
404
);

};

```


## Run the example app

```bash

$ git clone git@github.com:swan-io/chicane.git
