Generouted + Solid Router + Type-safety

Docs

Check out generouted's main docs for the features, conventions and more.

How

This integration is based on a Vite plugin to generate routes types for Solid Router with generouted conventions. The output is saved by default at src/router.ts and gets updated by the add/change/delete at src/pages/*.

Getting started

In case you don't have a Vite project with Solid and TypeScript, check Vite documentation to start a new project.

$3

``shell
pnpm add @generouted/solid-router @solidjs/router
`

$3

`ts
// vite.config.ts

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import solid from 'vite-plugin-solid'
import generouted from '@generouted/solid-router/plugin'

export default defineConfig({ plugins: [solid(), generouted()] })
`

$3

`tsx
// src/main.tsx

import { render } from 'solid-js/web'
import { Routes } from '@generouted/solid-router'
// import { Routes } from '@generouted/solid-router/lazy' // route-based code-splitting

render(Routes, document.getElementById('root')!)
`

$3

Add the home page by creating a new file src/pages/index.tsx → /, then export a default component:

`tsx
// src/pages/index.tsx

export default function Home() {
return

Home


}
`

$3

`tsx
// src/pages/_app.tsx

import { ParentProps } from 'solid-js'

export default function App(props: ParentProps) {
return (


{props.children}


)
}
`

$3

Auto-completion for A, useNavigate, useParams and more exported from src/router.ts

`tsx
// src/pages/index.tsx
import { A, useNavigate, useParams } from '../router'

export default function Home() {
const navigate = useNavigate()

// typeof params -> { id: string; pid?: string }
const params = useParams('/posts/:id/:pid?')

// typeof params to be passed -> { id: string; pid?: string }
const handler = () => navigate('/posts/:id/:pid?', { params: { id: '1', pid: '0' } })

return (



)
}
`

Although all modals are global, it's nice to co-locate modals with relevant routes.

Create modal routes by prefixing a valid route file name with a plus sign +. Why +? You can think of it as an extra route, as the modal overlays the current route:

`tsx
// src/pages/+login.tsx

import { Modal } from '@/ui'

export default function Login() {
return Content
}
`

To navigate to a modal use useModals hook exported from src/router.ts:

`tsx
// src/pages/_app.tsx

import { ParentProps } from 'solid-js'

import { useModals } from '../router'

export default function App(props: ParentProps) {
const modals = useModals()

return (


modals.open('/login')}>Open modal

{props.children}


)
}
`

With useModals you can use modals.open('/modal-path') and modals.close(), and by default it opens/closes the modal on the current active route.

Both methods come with Solid Router's navigate() options with one prop added at, for optionally navigating to a route while opening/closing a modal, and it's also type-safe!

- modals.open(path, options)
- modals.close(options)

at should be also a valid route path, here are some usage examples:

- modals.open('/login', { at: '/auth', replace: true })
- modals.open('/info', { at: '/invoice/:id', params: { id: 'xyz' } })
- modals.close({ at: '/', replace: false })`
