vite-plugin-pages

File system based routing for Vue 3 / React / Solid applications using Vite

Getting Started

Vue

🚨Important Notes🚨

We recommend Vue user using unplugin-vue-router instead of this plugin.

unplugin-vue-router is a unplugin library created by @posva, same auther as vue-router. It provide almost same feature as vite-plugin-pages but better intergration with vue-router, include some cool feature like auto generate route types base on your route files to provide autocomplete for vue-router.

Install:

npm install -D vite-plugin-pages
npm install vue-router

React

since v0.19.0 we only support react-router v6, if you are using react-router v5 use v0.18.2.

Install:

npm install -D vite-plugin-pages
npm install react-router react-router-dom

Solid

Install:

npm install -D vite-plugin-pages
npm install @solidjs/router

Vite config

Add to your vite.config.js:

import Pages from 'vite-plugin-pages'

export default {
  plugins: [
    // ...
    Pages(),
  ],
}

Overview

By default a page is a Vue component exported from a .vue or .js file in the src/pages directory.

You can access the generated routes by importing the ~pages module in your application.

Vue

import { createRouter } from 'vue-router'
import routes from '~pages'

const router = createRouter({
  // ...
  routes,
})

Type

// vite-env.d.ts
/// <reference types="vite-plugin-pages/client" />

React

experimental

import { Suspense } from 'react'
import {
  BrowserRouter as Router,
  useRoutes,
} from 'react-router-dom'

import routes from '~react-pages'

function App() {
  return (
    <Suspense fallback={<p>Loading...</p>}>
      {useRoutes(routes)}
    </Suspense>
  )
}

ReactDOM.render(
  <Router>
    <App />
  </Router>,
  document.getElementById('root'),
)

Type

// vite-env.d.ts
/// <reference types="vite-plugin-pages/client-react" />

Solid

experimental

import { render } from 'solid-js/web'
import { Router, useRoutes } from '@solidjs/router'
import routes from '~solid-pages'

render(
  () => {
    const Routes = useRoutes(routes)
    return (
      <Router>
        <Routes />
      </Router>
    )
  },
  document.getElementById('root') as HTMLElement,
)

Type

// vite-env.d.ts
/// <reference types="vite-plugin-pages/client-solid" />

Configuration

To use custom configuration, pass your options to Pages when instantiating the plugin:

// vite.config.js
import Pages from 'vite-plugin-pages'

export default {
  plugins: [
    Pages({
      dirs: 'src/views',
    }),
  ],
}

dirs

Type: string | (string | PageOptions)[]
Default: 'src/pages'

Paths to the pages directory. Supports globs.

Can be:

single path: routes point to /
array of paths: all routes in the paths point to /
array of PageOptions, Check below 👇

interface PageOptions {
  /**
   * Page base directory.
   * @default 'src/pages'
   */
  dir: string
  /**
   * Page base route.
   */
  baseRoute: string
  /**
   * Page file pattern.
   * @example `**\/*.page.vue`
   */
  filePattern?: string
}

Specifying a glob or an array of PageOptions allow you to use multiple pages folder, and specify the base route to append to the path and the route name.

Additionally, you can specify a filePattern to filter the files that will be used as pages.

Example

Folder structure

src/
  ├── features/
  │  └── dashboard/
  │     ├── code/
  │     ├── components/
  │     └── pages/
  ├── admin/
  │   ├── code/
  │   ├── components/
  │   └── pages/
  └── pages/

Config

// vite.config.js
export default {
  plugins: [
    Pages({
      dirs: [
        // basic
        { dir: 'src/pages', baseRoute: '' },
        // features dir for pages
        { dir: 'src/features/**/pages', baseRoute: 'features' },
        // with custom file pattern
        { dir: 'src/admin/pages', baseRoute: 'admin', filePattern: '**/*.page.*' },
      ],
    }),
  ],
}

extensions

Type: string[]
Default:
- Vue: ['vue', 'ts', 'js']
- React: ['tsx', 'jsx', 'ts', 'js']
- Solid: ['tsx', 'jsx', 'ts', 'js']

An array of valid file extensions for pages. If multiple extensions match for a file, the first one is used.

exclude

Type: string[]
Default: []

An array of glob patterns to exclude matches.

# folder structure
src/pages/
  ├── users/
  │  ├── components
  │  │  └── form.vue
  │  ├── [id].vue
  │  └── index.vue
  └── home.vue

// vite.config.js
export default {
  plugins: [
    Pages({
      exclude: ['**/components/*.vue'],
    }),
  ],
}

importMode

Type: 'sync' | 'async' | (filepath: string, pluginOptions: ResolvedOptions) => 'sync' | 'async')
Default:
- Top level index file: 'sync', others: async.

Import mode can be set to either async, sync, or a function which returns one of those values.

To get more fine-grained control over which routes are loaded sync/async, you can use a function to resolve the value based on the route path. For example:

// vite.config.js
export default {
  plugins: [
    Pages({
      importMode(filepath, options) {
        // default resolver
        // for (const page of options.dirs) {
        //   if (page.baseRoute === '' && filepath.startsWith(`/${page.dir}/index`))
        //     return 'sync'
        // }
        // return 'async'

        // Load about page synchronously, all other pages are async.
        return filepath.includes('about') ? 'sync' : 'async'
      },
    }),
  ],
}

If you are using async mode with react-router, you will need to wrap your route components with Suspense:

function App() {
  return (
    <Suspense fallback={<p>Loading...</p>}>
      {useRoutes(routes)}
    </Suspense>
  )
}

routeBlockLang

Type: string
Default: 'json5'

Default SFC route block parser.

routeStyle

Type: 'next' | 'nuxt' | 'remix'
Default: next

Use file system dynamic routing supporting:

routeNameSeparator

Type: string
Default: -

Separator for generated route names.

resolver

Type: 'vue' | 'react' | 'solid' | PageResolver
Default: 'auto detect'

Route resolver, support vue, react, solid or custom PageResolver.

moduleId

Type: string
Default:
- Vue: '~pages'
- React: '~react-pages'
- Solid: '~solid-pages'

Module id for routes import, useful when you what to use multiple pages plugin in one project.

extendRoute

Type: (route: any, parent: any | undefined) => any | void

A function that takes a route and optionally returns a modified route. This is useful for augmenting your routes with extra data (e.g. route metadata).

// vite.config.js
export default {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    Pages({
      extendRoute(route, parent) {
        if (route.path === '/') {
          // Index is unauthenticated.
          return route
        }

        // Augment the route with meta that indicates that the route requires authentication.
        return {
          ...route,
          meta: { auth: true },
        }
      },
    }),
  ],
}

onRoutesGenerated

Type: (routes: any[]) => Awaitable<any[] | void>

A function that takes a generated routes and optionally returns a modified generated routes.

onClientGenerated

Type: (clientCode: string) => Awaitable<string | void>

A function that takes a generated client code and optionally returns a modified generated client code.

SFC custom block for Route Data

Add route meta to the route by adding a <route> block to the SFC. This will be directly added to the route after it is generated, and will override it.

You can specific a parser to use using <route lang="yaml">, or set a default parser using routeBlockLang option.

Supported parser: JSON, JSON5, YAML
Default: JSON5

JSON/JSON5:

<route>
{
  name: "name-override",
  meta: {
    requiresAuth: false
  }
}
</route>

YAML:

<route lang="yaml">
name: name-override
meta:
  requiresAuth: true
</route>

Syntax Highlighting `<route>`

To enable syntax highlighting <route> in VS Code using Vetur's Custom Code Blocks add the following snippet to your preferences...

update setting

"vetur.grammar.customBlocks": {
   "route": "json"
 }

Run the command in vscode

Vetur: Generate grammar from vetur.grammar.customBlocks

Restart VS Code to get syntax highlighting for custom blocks.

JSX/TSX YAML format comments for Route Data(In Vue)

Add route meta to the route by adding a comment block starts with route to the JSX or TSX file(In Vue). This will be directly added to the route after it is generated, and will override it.

This feature only support JSX/TSX in vue, and will parse only the first block of comments which should also start with route.

Now only yaml parser supported.

Type: 'vue'
Supported parser: YAML

/*
route

name: name-override
meta:
  requiresAuth: false
  id: 1234
  string: "1234"
*/

File System Routing

Inspired by the routing from NuxtJS 💚

Pages automatically generates an array of routes for you to plug-in to your instance of Vue Router. These routes are determined by the structure of the files in your pages directory. Simply create .vue files in your pages directory and routes will automatically be created for you, no additional configuration required!

For more advanced use cases, you can tailor Pages to fit the needs of your app through configuration.

Basic Routing
Index Routes
Dynamic Routes
Nested Routes
Catch-all Routes

Basic Routing

Pages will automatically map files from your pages directory to a route with the same name:

src/pages/users.vue -> /users
src/pages/users/profile.vue -> /users/profile
src/pages/settings.vue -> /settings

Index Routes

Files with the name index are treated as the index page of a route:

src/pages/index.vue -> /
src/pages/users/index.vue -> /users

Dynamic Routes

Dynamic routes are denoted using square brackets. Both directories and pages can be dynamic:

src/pages/users/[id].vue -> /users/:id (/users/one)
src/pages/[user]/settings.vue -> /:user/settings (/one/settings)

Any dynamic parameters will be passed to the page as props. For example, given the file src/pages/users/[id].vue, the route /users/abc will be passed the following props:

{ "id": "abc" }

Nested Routes

We can make use of Vue Routers child routes to create nested layouts. The parent component can be defined by giving it the same name as the directory that contains your child routes.

For example, this directory structure:

src/pages/
  ├── users/
  │  ├── [id].vue
  │  └── index.vue
  └── users.vue

will result in this routes configuration:

[
  {
    "path": "/users",
    "component": "/src/pages/users.vue",
    "children": [
      {
        "path": "",
        "component": "/src/pages/users/index.vue",
        "name": "users"
      },
      {
        "path": ":id",
        "component": "/src/pages/users/[id].vue",
        "name": "users-id"
      }
    ]
  }
]

Catch-all Routes

Catch-all routes are denoted with square brackets containing an ellipsis:

src/pages/[...all].vue -> /* (/non-existent-page)

The text after the ellipsis will be used both to name the route, and as the name of the prop in which the route parameters are passed.

Sitemap generation

If you need to generate a sitemap from generated routes, you can use vite-plugin-pages-sitemap. This plugin allow you to automatically generate sitemap.xml and robots.xml files with customization.
