@limetech/stencil-router

A lightweight hash-based router for Stencil applications.

Installation

npm install @limetech/stencil-router

Usage

Basic Setup

import { Component, h } from '@stencil/core';

@Component({
    tag: 'my-app',
})
export class MyApp {
    render() {
        return (
            <stencil-router>
                <stencil-route-switch>
                    <stencil-route url="/" component="home-page" />
                    <stencil-route url="/users/:id" component="user-page" />
                    <stencil-route url="/about" component="about-page" />
                    <stencil-route component="not-found-page" />
                </stencil-route-switch>
            </stencil-router>
        );
    }
}

Navigation

Use hash-based URLs for navigation:

<a href="#/users/123">View User</a>

Or programmatically:

window.location.hash = '#/users/123';

Components

<stencil-router>

The root router component. Wrap your routes with this component.

<stencil-route-switch>

Container for route components. Implements first-match-wins behavior.

Property	Type	Description
scrollTopOffset	number	Scroll position to set on navigation (default: 0)

<stencil-route>

Individual route component.

Property	Type	Description
url	string	Route pattern to match (e.g., /users/:id)
component	string	Component tag name to render when matched
componentProps	object	Props to pass to the rendered component
routeRender	function	Custom render function

Route Patterns

The router supports:

• Static paths: /users, /about
• Required parameters: /users/:id
• Optional parameters: /component/:name/:section?

Matched Route Props

When a route matches, the rendered component receives a match prop:

interface MatchResults {
    params: Record<string, string>;
}

Example:

// Route: /users/:id
// URL: #/users/123

@Component({ tag: 'user-page' })
export class UserPage {
    @Prop() match: MatchResults;

    render() {
        // match.params.id === '123'
        return <div>User ID: {this.match.params.id}</div>;
    }
}
