- Minimum dependencies, only **2.1 KB** gzipped vs 18.7KB [React Router](https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router). - Supports both **React** and **[Preact](https://preactjs.com/)**! Read _["Preact support" section](#preact-support)_ for more details. - No top-level `` component, it is **fully optional**. - Mimics [React Router](https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router)'s best practices by providing familiar **[`Route`](#route-pathpattern-)**, **[`Link`](#link-hrefpath-)**, **[`Switch`](#switch-)** and **[`Redirect`](#redirect-topath-)** components. - Has hook-based API for more granular control over routing (like animations): **[`useLocation`](#uselocation-working-with-the-history)**, **[`useRoute`](#useroute-route-matching-and-parameters)** and **[`useRouter`](#userouter-accessing-the-router-object)**. ## developers :sparkling_heart: wouter > ... I love Wouter. It’s tiny, fully embraces hooks, and has an intuitive and barebones API.

Check out this simple demo app below. It doesn't cover hooks and other features such as nested routing, but it's a good starting point for those who are migrating from React Router. ```js import { Link, Route, Switch } from "wouter"; const App = () => ( <> Profile About Us {/* Routes below are matched exclusively - the first matched route gets rendered */} {(params) => <>Hello, {params.name}!} {/* Default route in a switch */} 404: No such page! ); ``` ### Browser Support This library is designed for **ES2020+** compatibility. If you need to support older browsers, make sure that you transpile `node_modules`. Additionally, the minimum supported TypeScript version is 4.1 in order to support route parameter inference. ## Wouter API Wouter comes with three kinds of APIs: low-level **standalone location hooks**, hooks for **routing and pattern matching** and more traditional **component-based API** similar to React Router's one. You are free to choose whatever works for you: use location hooks when you want to keep your app as small as possible and don't need pattern matching; use routing hooks when you want to build custom routing components; or if you're building a traditional app with pages and navigation — components might come in handy. Check out also [FAQ and Code Recipes](#faq-and-code-recipes) for more advanced things like active links, default routes, server-side rendering etc. ### The list of methods available **Location Hooks** These can be used separately from the main module and have an interface similar to `useState`. These hooks don't support nesting, base path, route matching. - **[`import { useBrowserLocation } from "wouter/use-browser-location"`](https://github.com/molefrog/wouter/blob/v3/packages/wouter/src/use-browser-location.js)** — allows to manipulate current location in the browser's address bar, a tiny wrapper around the History API. - **[`import { useHashLocation } from "wouter/use-hash-location"`](https://github.com/molefrog/wouter/blob/v3/packages/wouter/src/use-hash-location.js)** — similarly, gets location from the hash part of the address, i.e. the string after a `#`. - **[`import { memoryLocation } from "wouter/memory-location"`](#uselocation-working-with-the-history)** — an in-memory location hook with history support, external navigation and immutable mode for testing. **Note** the module name because it is a high-order hook. See how memory location can be used in [testing](#how-do-i-configure-the-router-to-render-a-specific-route-in-tests). **Routing Hooks** Import from `wouter` module. - **[`useRoute`](#useroute-the-power-of-hooks)** — shows whether or not current page matches the pattern provided. - **[`useLocation`](#uselocation-working-with-the-history)** — allows to manipulate current router's location, by default subscribes to browser location. **Note:** this isn't the same as `useBrowserLocation`, read below. - **[`useParams`](#useparams-extracting-matched-parameters)** — returns an object with parameters matched from the closest route. - **[`useSearch`](#usesearch-query-strings)** — returns a search string – everything that goes after the `?`. - **[`useRouter`](#userouter-accessing-the-router-object)** — returns a global router object that holds the configuration. Only use it if you want to customize the routing. **Components** Import from `wouter` module. - **[``](#route-pathpattern-)** — conditionally renders a component based on a pattern. - **[``](#link-hrefpath-)** — wraps ``, allows to perform a navigation. - **[``](#switch-)** — exclusive routing, only renders the first matched route. - **[``](#redirect-topath-)** — when rendered, performs an immediate navigation. - **[``](#router-hookhook-matchermatchfn-basebasepath-)** — an optional top-level component for advanced routing configuration. ## Hooks API ### `useRoute`: route matching and parameters Checks if the current location matches the pattern provided and returns an object with parameters. This is powered by a wonderful [`regexparam`](https://github.com/lukeed/regexparam) library, so all its pattern syntax is fully supported. You can use `useRoute` to perform manual routing or implement custom logic, such as route transitions, etc. ```js import { useRoute } from "wouter"; const Users = () => { // `match` is a boolean const [match, params] = useRoute("/users/:name"); if (match) { return <>Hello, {params.name}!; } else { return null; } }; ``` A quick cheatsheet of what types of segments are supported: ```js useRoute("/app/:page"); useRoute("/app/:page/:section"); // optional parameter, matches "/en/home" and "/home" useRoute("/:locale?/home"); // suffixes useRoute("/movies/:title.(mp4|mov)"); // wildcards, matches "/app", "/app-1", "/app/home" useRoute("/app*"); // optional wildcards, matches "/orders", "/orders/" // and "/orders/completed/list" useRoute("/orders/*?"); // regex for matching complex patterns, // matches "/hello:123" useRoute(/^[/]([a-z]+):([0-9]+)[/]?$/); // and with named capture groups useRoute(/^[/](?[a-z]+):(?[0-9]+)[/]?$/); ``` The second item in the pair `params` is an object with parameters or null if there was no match. For wildcard segments the parameter name is `"*"`: ```js // wildcards, matches "/app", "/app-1", "/app/home" const [match, params] = useRoute("/app*"); if (match) { // "/home" for "/app/home" const page = params["*"]; } ``` ### `useLocation`: working with the history To get the current path and navigate between pages, call the `useLocation` hook. Similarly to `useState`, it returns a value and a setter: the component will re-render when the location changes and by calling `navigate` you can update this value and perform navigation. By default, it uses `useBrowserLocation` under the hood, though you can configure this in a top-level `Router` component (for example, if you decide at some point to switch to a hash-based routing). `useLocation` will also return scoped path when used within nested routes or with base path setting. ```js import { useLocation } from "wouter"; const CurrentLocation = () => { const [location, navigate] = useLocation(); return (

{`The current page is: ${location}`} navigate("/somewhere")}>Click to update

); }; ``` All the components internally call the `useLocation` hook. #### Additional navigation parameters The setter method of `useLocation` can also accept an optional object with parameters to control how the navigation update will happen. When browser location is used (default), `useLocation` hook accepts `replace` flag to tell the hook to modify the current history entry instead of adding a new one. It is the same as calling `replaceState`. ```jsx const [location, navigate] = useLocation(); navigate("/jobs"); // `pushState` is used navigate("/home", { replace: true }); // `replaceState` is used ``` Additionally, you can provide a `state` option to update `history.state` while navigating: ```jsx navigate("/home", { state: { modal: "promo" } }); history.state; // { modal: "promo" } ``` #### Customizing the location hook By default, **wouter** uses `useLocation` hook that reacts to `pushState` and `replaceState` navigation via `useBrowserLocation`. To customize this, wrap your app in a `Router` component: ```js import { Router, Route } from "wouter"; import { useHashLocation } from "wouter/use-hash-location"; const App = () => ( ... ); ``` Because these hooks have return values similar to `useState`, it is easy and fun to build your own location hooks: `useCrossTabLocation`, `useLocalStorage`, `useMicroFrontendLocation` and whatever routing logic you want to support in the app. Give it a try! ### `useParams`: extracting matched parameters This hook allows you to access the parameters exposed through [matching dynamic segments](#matching-dynamic-segments). Internally, we simply wrap your components in a context provider allowing you to access this data anywhere within the `Route` component. This allows you to avoid "prop drilling" when dealing with deeply nested components within the route. **Note:** `useParams` will only extract parameters from the closest parent route. ```js import { Route, useParams } from "wouter"; const User = () => { const params = useParams(); params.id; // "1" // alternatively, use the index to access the prop params[0]; // "1" }; /> ``` It is the same for regex paths. Capture groups can be accessed by their index, or if there is a named capture group, that can be used instead. ```js import { Route, useParams } from "wouter"; const User = () => { const params = useParams(); params.id; // "1" params[0]; // "1" }; [0-9]+)[/]?$/} component={User}> /> ``` ### `useSearch`: query strings Use this hook to get the current search (query) string value. It will cause your component to re-render only when the string itself and not the full location updates. The search string returned **does not** contain a `?` character. ```jsx import { useSearch } from "wouter"; // returns "tab=settings&id=1" const searchString = useSearch(); ``` For the SSR, use `ssrSearch` prop passed to the router. ```jsx {/* SSR! */} ``` Refer to [Server-Side Rendering](#server-side-rendering-support-ssr) for more info on rendering and hydration. ### `useSearchParams`: search parameters Allow you to get and set any search parameters. The first returned value is a `URLSearchParams` object and the second returned value is a setter that accepts a `URLSearchParams` object with options. ```jsx import { useSearchParams } from 'wouter'; const [searchParams, setSearchParams] = useSearchParams(); // extract a specific search parameter const id = searchParams.get('id'); // modify a specific search parameter setSearchParams((prev) => { prev.set('tab', 'settings'); }); // override all search parameters setSearchParams({ id: 1234, tab: 'settings', }); // by default, setSearchParams() will push a new history entry // to avoid this, set `replace` option to `true` setSearchParams( (prev) => { prev.set('order', 'desc'); }, { replace: true, }, ); // you can also pass a history state in options setSearchParams( (prev) => { prev.set('foo', 'bar'); }, { state: 'hello', }, ); ``` ### `useRouter`: accessing the router object If you're building advanced integration, for example custom location hook, you might want to get access to the global router object. Router is a simple object that holds routing options that you configure in the `Router` component. ```js import { useRouter } from "wouter"; const Custom = () => { const router = useRouter(); router.hook; // `useBrowserLocation` by default router.base; // "/app" }; const App = () => ( ); ``` ## Component API ### `` `Route` represents a piece of the app that is rendered conditionally based on a pattern `path`. Pattern has the same syntax as the argument you pass to [`useRoute`](#useroute-route-matching-and-parameters). The library provides multiple ways to declare a route's body: ```js import { Route } from "wouter"; // simple form // render-prop style {params => } // the `params` prop will be passed down to ``` A route with no path is considered to always match, and it is the same as ``. When developing your app, use this trick to peek at the route's content without navigation. ```diff - + {/* Strip out the `path` to make this visible */} ``` #### Route Nesting Nesting is a core feature of wouter and can be enabled on a route via the `nest` prop. When this prop is present, the route matches everything that starts with a given pattern and it creates a nested routing context. All child routes will receive location relative to that pattern. Let's take a look at this example: ```js ``` 1. This first route will be active for all paths that start with `/app`, this is equivalent to having a base path in your app. 2. The second one uses dynamic pattern to match paths like `/app/user/1`, `/app/user/1/anything` and so on. 3. Finally, the inner-most route will only work for paths that look like `/app/users/1/orders`. The match is strict, since that route does not have a `nest` prop and it works as usual. If you call `useLocation()` inside the last route, it will return `/orders` and not `/app/users/1/orders`. This creates a nice isolation and it makes it easier to make changes to parent route without worrying that the rest of the app will stop working. If you need to navigate to a top-level page however, you can use a prefix `~` to refer to an absolute path: ```js Back to Home ``` **Note:** The `nest` prop does not alter the regex passed into regex paths. Instead, the `nest` prop will only determine if nested routes will match against the rest of path or the same path. To make a strict path regex, use a regex pattern like `/^[/](your pattern)[/]?$/` (this matches an optional end slash and the end of the string). To make a nestable regex, use a regex pattern like `/^[/](your pattern)(?=$|[/])/` (this matches either the end of the string or a slash for future segments). ### `` Link component renders an `` element that, when clicked, performs a navigation. ```js import { Link } from "wouter" Home // `to` is an alias for `href` Home // all standard `a` props are proxied Home // all location hook options are supported ``` Link will always wrap its children in an `` tag, unless `asChild` prop is provided. Use this when you need to have a custom component that renders an `` under the hood. ```jsx // use this instead // Remember, `UIKitLink` must implement an `onClick` handler // in order for navigation to work! ``` When you pass a function as a `className` prop, it will be called with a boolean value indicating whether the link is active for the current route. You can use this to style active links (e.g. for links in navigation menu) ```jsx (active ? "active" : "")}>Nav ``` Read more about [active links here](#how-do-i-make-a-link-active-for-the-current-route). ### `` There are cases when you want to have an exclusive routing: to make sure that only one route is rendered at the time, even if the routes have patterns that overlap. That's what `Switch` does: it only renders **the first matching route**. ```js import { Route, Switch } from "wouter"; {/* in wouter, any Route with empty path is considered always active. This can be used to achieve "default" route behaviour within Switch. Note: the order matters! See examples below. */} This is rendered when nothing above has matched ; ``` When no route in switch matches, the last empty `Route` will be used as a fallback. See [**FAQ and Code Recipes** section](#how-do-i-make-a-default-route) to read about default routes. ### `` When mounted performs a redirect to a `path` provided. Uses `useLocation` hook internally to trigger the navigation inside of a `useEffect` block. `Redirect` can also accept props for [customizing how navigation will be performed](#additional-navigation-parameters), for example for setting history state when navigating. These options are specific to the currently used location hook. ```jsx // arbitrary state object // use `replaceState` ``` If you need more advanced logic for navigation, for example, to trigger the redirect inside of an event handler, consider using [`useLocation` hook instead](#uselocation-working-with-the-history): ```js import { useLocation } from "wouter"; const [location, setLocation] = useLocation(); fetchOrders().then((orders) => { setOrders(orders); setLocation("/app/orders"); }); ``` ### `` Unlike _React Router_, routes in wouter **don't have to be wrapped in a top-level component**. An internal router object will be constructed on demand, so you can start writing your app without polluting it with a cascade of top-level providers. There are cases however, when the routing behaviour needs to be customized. These cases include hash-based routing, basepath support, custom matcher function etc. ```jsx import { useHashLocation } from "wouter/use-hash-location"; {/* Your app goes here */} ; ``` A router is a simple object that holds the routing configuration options. You can always obtain this object using a [`useRouter` hook](#userouter-accessing-the-router-object). The list of currently available options: - **`hook: () => [location: string, setLocation: fn]`** — is a React Hook function that subscribes to location changes. It returns a pair of current `location` string e.g. `/app/users` and a `setLocation` function for navigation. You can use this hook from any component of your app by calling [`useLocation()` hook](#uselocation-working-with-the-history). See [Customizing the location hook](#customizing-the-location-hook). - **`searchHook: () => [search: string, setSearch: fn]`** — similar to `hook`, but for obtaining the [current search string](#usesearch-query-strings). - **`base: string`** — an optional setting that allows to specify a base path, such as `/app`. All application routes will be relative to that path. To navigate out to an absolute path, prefix your path with an `~`. [See the FAQ](#are-relative-routes-and-links-supported). - **`parser: (path: string, loose?: boolean) => { pattern, keys }`** — a pattern parsing function. Produces a RegExp for matching the current location against the user-defined patterns like `/app/users/:id`. Has the same interface as the [`parse`](https://github.com/lukeed/regexparam?tab=readme-ov-file#regexparamparseinput-regexp) function from `regexparam`. See [this example](#are-strict-routes-supported) that demonstrates custom parser feature. - **`ssrPath: string`** and **`ssrSearch: string`** use these when [rendering your app on the server](#server-side-rendering-support-ssr). - `hrefs: (href: boolean) => string` — a function for transforming `href` attribute of an `` element rendered by `Link`. It is used to support hash-based routing. By default, `href` attribute is the same as the `href` or `to` prop of a `Link`. A location hook can also define a `hook.hrefs` property, in this case the `href` will be inferred. ## FAQ and Code Recipes ### I deploy my app to the subfolder. Can I specify a base path? You can! Wrap your app with `` component and that should do the trick: ```js import { Router, Route, Link } from "wouter"; const App = () => ( {/* the link's href attribute will be "/app/users" */} Users The current path is /app/users! ); ``` Calling `useLocation()` within a route in an app with base path will return a path scoped to the base. Meaning that when base is `"/app"` and pathname is `"/app/users"` the returned string is `"/users"`. Accordingly, calling `navigate` will automatically append the base to the path argument for you. When you have multiple nested routers, base paths are inherited and stack up. ```js Path is /app/cms/users! ``` ### How do I make a default route? One of the common patterns in application routing is having a default route that will be shown as a fallback, in case no other route matches (for example, if you need to render 404 message). In **wouter** this can easily be done as a combination of `` component and a default route: ```js import { Switch, Route } from "wouter"; ... 404, Not Found! ; ``` _Note:_ the order of switch children matters, default route should always come last. If you want to have access to the matched segment of the path you can use wildcard parameters: ```js ... {/* will match anything that starts with /users/, e.g. /users/foo, /users/1/edit etc. */} ... {/* will match everything else */} {(params) => `404, Sorry the page ${params["*"]} does not exist!`} ``` **[▶ Demo Sandbox](https://codesandbox.io/s/wouter-v3-ts-8q532r)** ### How do I make a link active for the current route? Instead of a regular `className` string, provide a function to use custom class when this link matches the current route. Note that it will always perform an exact match (i.e. `/users` will not be active for `/users/1`). ```jsx (active ? "active" : "")}>Nav link ``` If you need to control other props, such as `aria-current` or `style`, you can write your own `` wrapper and detect if the path is active by using the `useRoute` hook. ```js const [isActive] = useRoute(props.href); return ( {props.children} ); ``` **[▶ Demo Sandbox](https://codesandbox.io/s/wouter-v3-ts-8q532r?file=/src/ActiveLink.tsx)** ### Are strict routes supported? If a trailing slash is important for your app's routing, you could specify a custom parser. Parser is a method that takes a pattern string and returns a RegExp and an array of parsed key. It uses the signature of a [`parse`](https://github.com/lukeed/regexparam?tab=readme-ov-file#regexparamparseinput-regexp) function from `regexparam`. Let's write a custom parser based on a popular [`path-to-regexp`](https://github.com/pillarjs/path-to-regexp) package that does support strict routes option. ```js import { pathToRegexp } from "path-to-regexp"; /** * Custom parser based on `pathToRegexp` with strict route option */ const strictParser = (path, loose) => { const keys = []; const pattern = pathToRegexp(path, keys, { strict: true, end: !loose }); return { pattern, // `pathToRegexp` returns some metadata about the keys, // we want to strip it to just an array of keys keys: keys.map((k) => k.name), }; }; const App = () => ( ... ... ); ``` **[▶ Demo Sandbox](https://codesandbox.io/s/wouter-v3-strict-routes-w3xdtz)** ### Are relative routes and links supported? Yes! Any route with `nest` prop present creates a nesting context. Keep in mind, that the location inside a nested route will be scoped. ```js const App = () => ( {/* the href is "/app/dashboard/users" */} {/* Here `useLocation()` returns "/users"! */} ); ``` **[▶ Demo Sandbox](https://codesandbox.io/s/wouter-v3-nested-routes-l8p23s)** ### Can I initiate navigation from outside a component? Yes, the `navigate` function is exposed from the `"wouter/use-browser-location"` module: ```js import { navigate } from "wouter/use-browser-location"; navigate("/", { replace: true }); ``` It's the same function that is used internally. ### Can I use _wouter_ in my TypeScript project? Yes! Although the project isn't written in TypeScript, the type definition files are bundled with the package. ### How can add animated route transitions? Let's take look at how wouter routes can be animated with [`framer-motion`](framer.com/motion). Animating enter transitions is easy, but exit transitions require a bit more work. We'll use the `AnimatePresence` component that will keep the page in the DOM until the exit animation is complete. Unfortunately, `AnimatePresence` only animates its **direct children**, so this won't work: ```jsx import { motion, AnimatePresence } from "framer-motion"; export const MyComponent = () => ( {/* This will not work! `motion.div` is not a direct child */} ); ``` The workaround is to match this route manually with `useRoute`: ```jsx export const MyComponent = ({ isVisible }) => { const [isMatch] = useRoute("/"); return ( {isMatch && ( )} ); }; ``` More complex examples involve using `useRoutes` hook (similar to how React Router does it), but wouter does not ship it out-of-the-box. Please refer to [this issue](https://github.com/molefrog/wouter/issues/414#issuecomment-1954192679) for the workaround. ### Preact support? Preact exports are available through a separate package named `wouter-preact` (or within the `wouter/preact` namespace, however this method isn't recommended as it requires React as a peer dependency): ```diff - import { useRoute, Route, Switch } from "wouter"; + import { useRoute, Route, Switch } from "wouter-preact"; ``` You might need to ensure you have the latest version of [Preact X](https://github.com/preactjs/preact/releases/tag/10.0.0-alpha.0) with support for hooks. **[▶ Demo Sandbox](https://codesandbox.io/s/wouter-preact-0lr3n)** ### Server-side Rendering support (SSR)? In order to render your app on the server, you'll need to wrap your app with top-level Router and specify `ssrPath` prop (usually, derived from current request). Optionally, `Router` accepts `ssrSearch` parameter if need to have access to a search string on a server. ```js import { renderToString } from "react-dom/server"; import { Router } from "wouter"; const handleRequest = (req, res) => { // top-level Router is mandatory in SSR mode // pass an optional context object to handle redirects on the server const ssrContext = {}; const prerendered = renderToString( ); if (ssrContext.redirectTo) { // encountered redirect res.redirect(ssrContext.redirectTo); } else { // respond with prerendered html } }; ``` Tip: wouter can pre-fill `ssrSearch`, if `ssrPath` contains the `?` character. So these are equivalent: ```jsx ; // is the same as ; ``` On the client, the static markup must be hydrated in order for your app to become interactive. Note that to avoid having hydration warnings, the JSX rendered on the client must match the one used by the server, so the `Router` component must be present. ```js import { hydrateRoot } from "react-dom/client"; const root = hydrateRoot( domNode, // during hydration, `ssrPath` is set to `location.pathname`, // `ssrSearch` set to `location.search` accordingly // so there is no need to explicitly specify them ); ``` **[▶ Demo](https://github.com/molefrog/wultra)** ### How do I configure the router to render a specific route in tests? Testing with wouter is no different from testing regular React apps. You often need a way to provide a fixture for the current location to render a specific route. This can be easily done by swapping the normal location hook with `memoryLocation`. It is an initializer function that returns a hook that you can then specify in a top-level `Router`. ```jsx import { render } from "@testing-library/react"; import { memoryLocation } from "wouter/memory-location"; it("renders a user page", () => { // `static` option makes it immutable // even if you call `navigate` somewhere in the app location won't change const { hook } = memoryLocation({ path: "/user/2", static: true }); const { container } = render( {(params) => <>User ID: {params.id}} ); expect(container.innerHTML).toBe("User ID: 2"); }); ``` The hook can be configured to record navigation history. Additionally, it comes with a `navigate` function for external navigation. ```jsx it("performs a redirect", () => { const { hook, history, navigate } = memoryLocation({ path: "/", // will store navigation history in `history` record: true, }); const { container } = render( Index Orders ); expect(history).toStrictEqual(["/"]); navigate("/unknown/route"); expect(container.innerHTML).toBe("Orders"); expect(history).toStrictEqual(["/", "/unknown/route", "/orders"]); }); ``` ### 1KB is too much, I can't afford it! We've got some great news for you! If you're a minimalist bundle-size nomad and you need a damn simple routing in your app, you can just use bare location hooks. For example, `useBrowserLocation` hook which is only **650 bytes gzipped** and manually match the current location with it: ```js import { useBrowserLocation } from "wouter/use-browser-location"; const UsersRoute = () => { const [location] = useBrowserLocation(); if (location !== "/users") return null; // render the route }; ``` Wouter's motto is **"Minimalist-friendly"**. ## Acknowledgements Wouter illustrations and logos were made by [Katya Simacheva](https://simachevakatya.com/) and [Katya Vakulenko](https://katyavakulenko.com/).
