# svelte-tiny-spa
|
|
|
|
A tiny unframework for making SPAs in Svelte.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
This library intercepts clicks on internal links and turns them into `history.pushState()` calls. The browser's `location` object is exposed through a Svelte store, which updates upon these intercepted clicks and upon `popstate` events. It also optionally provides a mechanism for hosts which do not support falling back to `index.html` for missing files.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
If your host supports falling back to `index.html` for requests of all unknown files, you should use that feature. Copy [`location.js`](location.js) into your project, and you're done.
|
|
|
|
### If your host does not support falling back to `index.html`
|
|
|
|
You'll use a custom 404 page that redirects to the root and encodes the original URL in a query parameter. The root page then rewrites the URL using `history.replaceState()`.
|
|
|
|
Add [`404.html`](404.html) to your project at the appropriate path. Uncomment the lines at the top of [`location.js`](location.js) to handle the rewrite after the redirection.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
import location from '.../location.js';
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is a Svelte store containing the `location` object, and updates whenever a link click is intercepted or a `popstate` event occurs.
|
|
|
|
Interception occurs when all of the following are met:
|
|
|
|
1. The link is same-origin.
|
|
1. The link is not merely a `#hash` change.
|
|
1. The link does not have a `target` attribute.
|
|
1. The link does not have a `download` attribute.
|
|
1. The link was left clicked.
|
|
1. The link was not clicked while pressing Alt/Ctrl/Meta/Shift.
|
|
1. The link click was not `preventDefault`ed.
|
|
|
|
The store also contains `goto(url, replace)` and `scroll()` methods.
|
|
|
|
- `goto(url, replace)` navigates to a URL.
|
|
- `url` is resolved according to normal rules.
|
|
- `replace` is a boolean indicating whether to use `history.pushState()` or `history.replaceState()`.
|
|
- `scroll()` scrolls to either the top of the page or the element indicated by the `#hash` portion of the URL. This should be called after you've finished rendering a page.
