A complete routing library for React. https://rackt.github.io/react-router

React Router keeps your UI in sync with the URL. It has a simple API with powerful features like lazy code loading, dynamic route matching, and location transition handling built right in. Make the URL your first thought, not an after-thought.

Docs & Help

Note: the docs and the examples in master refer to the 1.0 Beta and may be incomplete.
Browse the website and the 0.13.3 tag for the information about the latest stable version.

Browser Support

We support all browsers and environments where React runs.

Installation

npm + webpack/browserify

npm install react-router

Then with a module bundler or webpack, use as you would anything else:

// using an ES6 transpiler
import { Router, Route, Link } from 'react-router';

// not using an ES6 transpiler
var ReactRouter = require('react-router');
var Router = ReactRouter.Router;
var Route = ReactRouter.Route;
var Link = ReactRouter.Link;

There's also a lib/umd folder containing a UMD version.

bower + who knows what

bower install react-router

Find the UMD/global build in lib/umd, and the library on window.ReactRouter. Best of luck to you. :)

CDN

Available on cdnjs here.

What's it look like?

import { Router, Route } from 'react-router';
import { history } from 'react-router/lib/BrowserHistory';

var App = React.createClass({/*...*/});
var About = React.createClass({/*...*/});
// etc.

var Users = React.createClass({
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <h1>Users</h1>
        <div className="master">
          <ul>
            {/* use Link to route around the app */}
            {this.state.users.map(user => (
              <li><Link to={`/users/${users.id}`}>{user.name}</Link></li>
            ))}
          </ul>
        </div>
        <div className="detail">
          {this.props.children}
        </div>
      </div>
    );
  }
});

var User = React.createClass({
  componentDidMount() {
    this.setState({
      // route components are rendered with useful information, like URL params
      user: findUserById(this.props.params.userId)
    });
  },

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <h2>{this.state.user.name}</h2>
        {/* etc. */}
      </div>
    );
  }
});

// Declarative route configuration (could also load this config lazily
// instead, all you really need is a single root route, you don't need to
// colocate the entire config).
React.render((
  <Router history={history}>
    <Route path="/" component={App}>
      <Route path="about" component={About}/>
      <Route path="users" component={Users}>
        <Route path="/user/:userId" component={User}/>
      </Route>
      <Route path="*" component={NoMatch}/>
    </Route>
  </Router>
), document.body);
