Introduction to Active Route

The active-route package is a powerful tool for managing routes in web applications. It provides a slew of APIs to manipulate and interact with routes dynamically. In this guide, we will delve into the introduction of active-route and provide you with useful API explanations and code snippets to get you started.

API Examples

1. Checking the Active Route

You can check if a particular route is active using the following code:

  import { isActiveRoute } from 'active-route';
  
  if (isActiveRoute('/home')) {
    console.log('The home route is active!');
  }

2. Getting the Current Route

Retrieve the current route with this simple function:

  import { getCurrentRoute } from 'active-route';
  
  const currentRoute = getCurrentRoute();
  console.log(`The current route is: ${currentRoute}`);

3. Navigate to a Different Route

Programmatically navigate to a different route using:

  import { navigateTo } from 'active-route';
  
  navigateTo('/profile');

4. Listening for Route Changes

You can listen for route changes using this method:

  import { onRouteChange } from 'active-route';
  
  onRouteChange((newRoute) => {
    console.log(`The new route is: ${newRoute}`);
  });

5. Adding Middleware

Implement route middleware to handle tasks before a route is activated:

  import { addMiddleware } from 'active-route';
  
  addMiddleware((to, from, next) => {
    console.log(`Transitioning from ${from} to ${to}`);
    next();
  });

Application Example

Here is a simple example of a web application utilizing these APIs:

  import { getCurrentRoute, navigateTo, onRouteChange } from 'active-route';

  function App() {
    console.log(`Current route: ${getCurrentRoute()}`);

    onRouteChange((newRoute) => {
      console.log(`Route changed to: ${newRoute}`);
    });

    return (
      

         navigateTo('/home')}>Go to Home
         navigateTo('/profile')}>Go to Profile
      
    );
  }

  export default App;

This App component demonstrates how to check the current route, listen for route changes, and navigate to different routes programmatically.

By leveraging the power of active-route, you can have greater control over route management in your web applications, ensuring a smoother and more dynamic user experience.
