A complete routing solution for React.js

A complete routing library for React. https://rackt.github.io/react-router

React Router keeps your UI in sync with the URL. It has a simple API with powerful features like lazy code loading, dynamic route matching, and location transition handling built right in. Make the URL your first thought, not an after-thought.

Browser Support

We support all browsers and environments where React runs.

Installation

npm + webpack/browserify

npm install react-router

Then with a module bundler or webpack, use as you would anything else:

// using an ES6 transpiler
import { Router, Route, Link } from 'react-router';

// not using an ES6 transpiler
var ReactRouter = require('react-router');
var Router = ReactRouter.Router;
var Route = ReactRouter.Route;
var Link = ReactRouter.Link;

There's also a lib/umd folder containing a UMD version.

bower + who knows what

bower install react-router

Find the UMD/global build in lib/umd, and the library on window.ReactRouter. Best of luck to you. :)

CDN

Available on cdnjs here.

What's it look like?

import { Router, Route } from 'react-router';
import BrowserHistory from 'react-router/lib/BrowserHistory';

var App = React.createClass({/*...*/});
var About = React.createClass({/*...*/});
// etc.

var Users = React.createClass({
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <h1>Users</h1>
        <div className="master">
          <ul>
            {/* use Link to route around the app */}
            {this.state.users.map(user => (
              <li><Link to={`/users/${users.id}`}>{user.name}</Link></li>
            ))}
          </ul>
        </div>
        <div className="detail">
          {this.props.children}
        </div>
      </div>
    );
  }
});

var User = React.createClass({
  componentDidMount() {
    this.setState({
      // route components are rendered with useful information, like URL params
      user: findUserById(this.props.params.userId)
    });
  },

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <h2>{this.state.user.name}</h2>
        {/* etc. */}
      </div>
    );
  }
});

// Declarative route configuration (could also load this config lazily
// instead, all you really need is a single root route, you don't need to
// colocate the entire config).
React.render((
  <Router history={new BrowserHistory}>
    <Route path="/" component={App}>
      <Route path="about" component={About}/>
      <Route path="users" component={Users} indexComponent={RecentUsers}>
        <Route path="/user/:userId" component={User}/>
      </Route>
      <Route path="*" component={NoMatch}/>
    </Route>
  </Router>
), document.body);
