delir

Delir generates a Route Manifest for you. It allows you to refer to a page by name instead of location:

Install

  npm install -g delir

How to use

  delir ./your-output-file

  delir ./your-output-file --workspace ./your-next-app-folder

Example

// Assume you have a page at app/pages/products/[productId].tsx
export default function ProductsPage() { ...

// You can then use Routes...
import { Link } from "next"
import { Routes } from "../path-to-manifest-file"

// ...to refer to it by name...
<Link href={Routes.ProductsPage({ productId: 123 })} />

// ...instead of looking up the location!
<Link href={`/products/${123}`} />

The Route Manifest has some advantages:

• improved expressiveness
• simplifies moving pages to new locations

Query Parameters {#query-parameters}

Query parameters can be specified together with route parameters.

// instead of ...
<Link href={`/products/${pid}?offerCode=capybara`} />

// ... you can do:
<Link href={Routes.Product({ pid, offerCode: "capybara" })} />

Simple cli which is an extract of the routes manifest feature from blitz. Thanks for the super framework ❤️

Route matching

// Assume you have a page at app/pages/products/[productId].tsx
export default function ProductsPage() { ... }

import { useRouter } from 'next/router';
// You can then use Routes...
import { Routes } from "../path-to-manifest-file";

// in your server api
Routes.ProductsPage.isActive(someobject.path)

// generically without next router
Routes.ProductsPage.isActive(window.location.pathname)

// with asPath from useRouter
const { asPath } = useRouter();
Routes.ProductsPage.isActive(asPath);
