Svelte5 router for SPA

npm i svelte5-router-spa

Svelte 5 router for Single Page Applications (SPA). It uses route-recognizer for flexible path matching and supports asynchronous component loading.

Usage

1. Define your routes

Routes are defined as an object where keys are paths and values are RoutingFunction. A RoutingFunction can be asynchronous and should return an object with component and props.

// routes.ts
import type { Route } from "svelte5-router-spa";
import Home from "./components/Home.svelte";

export const routes: Route = {
    "/": async () => {
        // You can fetch data or dynamic import components here
        return {
            component: Home,
            props: { title: "Welcome Home" }
        };
    },
    "/user/:id": async (params) => {
        const { id } = params;
        const UserProfile = (await import("./components/UserProfile.svelte")).default;
        return {
            component: UserProfile,
            props: { userId: id }
        };
    }
};

2. Use the Router component

Place the Router component in your main application file (e.g., App.svelte).

<script lang="ts">
    import { Router } from "svelte5-router-spa";
    import { routes } from "./routes";
</script>

<Router route={routes} />

3. Navigation

You can use the provided navigation utilities to move between pages.

<script lang="ts">
    import { navigation } from "svelte5-router-spa";
    const { goto } = navigation;

    function navigate() {
        goto("/home");
    }
</script>

<button onclick={navigate}>Go Home</button>

Automatic Anchor Handling

To automatically handle standard <a> tags for SPA navigation, use setupLink in your root layout or entry point.

<script lang="ts">
    import { onMount } from "svelte";
    import { navigation } from "svelte5-router-spa";

    onMount(() => {
        navigation.setupLink();
    });
</script>
