📖 How to decouple state and UI - a.k.a. you don’t need componentWillMount

Features

- Decoupled state from UI
- Central route configuration
- URL changes are triggering changes directly in the store, and vice-versa
- No need to use component lifecycle methods like componentWillMount to fetch data or trigger a side effect in the store
- Supported callbacks for the routes are: beforeEnter, onEnter, beforeExit, onExit. All of the callbacks receive route, params, store, and queryParams as parameters. If the beforeExit or beforeEnter methods return false the navigation action will be prevented.
- The current URL params and query params are accessible directly in the store store.router.params / store.router.queryParams so basically they're available everywhere without any additional wrapping or HOC.
- Navigating to another route happens by calling the goTo method on the router store, and the changes in the url are reflected automatically. So for example you can call router.goTo(routes.book, {id:5, page:3}) and after the change is made in the store, the URL change will follow. You never directly manipulate the URL or the history object.
- component which also populates the href attribute and works with middle click or cmd/ctrl + click
- Typescript support (Converted to typescript by thdk)
