tiny-history is a simple wrapper around the browser history API. To some extent it mimics the behaviour of history, a module created by the good folks from React Training. Main differences from it are that:
- basename is not supported;
- blocking transitions is not supported;
tiny-history's main selling point is it's size: ~500B minified and gzipped.
npm i tiny-history
# or
yarn add tiny-history
Browser builds are also available on unpkg:
<!-- iife -->
<script src=//unpkg.com/tiny-history/dist/tiny-history.js></script>
<!-- esm -->
<script type=module>
import createHistory from "//unpkg.com/tiny-history/dist/tiny-history.esm.js";
/* ... */
</script>
import createHistory from "tiny-history";
const history = createHistory();
function doSomething(location, action) {
/* do something */
}
// register a listener for route transitions
const unlisten = history.listen(doSomething);
// push a new route
history.push("pushed");
// replace a route
history.replace("replaced");
// transition to the previous route
history.back();
// transition to the next route
history.forward();
// transition to an entry of the history based on the index passed
history.go(-1);
// history.listen returns a callback that detaches the listener passed to it
unlisten();
import createHistory from "tiny-history";
const history = createHistory();
history.goForward = history.forward;
history.goBack = history.back;
export default history;
