sigpro/SigProRouterPlugin

SigPro Router Plugin for Vite

A Vite plugin that automatically generates routes from your file structure in src/pages/, similar to Next.js file-based routing but for any JavaScript project.

Features

• 📁 File-based routing: Automatically creates routes from your src/pages directory
• 🔗 Dynamic routes: Supports parameterized routes using [param] syntax
• 🧭 Path-to-regexp conversion: Dynamic routes are converted to RegExp with named capture groups
• 📊 Route map generation: Console output shows all detected routes at build time
• 🎯 Virtual module: Access your routes via virtual:sigpro-routes

Installation

1. Save the plugin code in your project, for example as plugins/sigpro-router.js

2. Add it to your Vite configuration:

// vite.config.js
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import sigproRouter from './plugins/sigpro-router';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [sigproRouter()]
});

Usage

1. Create Pages

Create .js files in your src/pages directory. Each file becomes a route:

src/pages/
├── index.js              -> /
├── about.js              -> /about
├── blog/
│   ├── index.js          -> /blog
│   └── [id].js           -> /blog/:id (dynamic)
└── users/
    └── [userId].js       -> /users/:userId (dynamic)

2. Access Routes in Your Application

The plugin exposes a virtual module virtual:sigpro-routes that exports a routes array:

// In your router or main application file
import { routes } from 'virtual:sigpro-routes';

// The routes array structure:
// [
//   { path: '/', component: PageComponent, isDynamic: false, paramName: null },
//   { path: /^\/blog\/(?<id>[^/]+)$/, component: PageComponent, isDynamic: true, paramName: 'id' },
//   { path: /^\/users\/(?<userId>[^/]+)$/, component: PageComponent, isDynamic: true, paramName: 'userId' },
// ]

// Example usage with a simple router
function renderRoute(path) {
  for (const route of routes) {
    if (!route.isDynamic && route.path === path) {
      return route.component();
    } else if (route.isDynamic) {
      const match = path.match(route.path);
      if (match) {
        // Access params via match.groups
        const params = match.groups;
        return route.component(params);
      }
    }
  }
  return '<h1>404 Not Found</h1>';
}

3. Build Time Output

When you run your Vite dev server or build, you'll see a route map in the console:

🚀 [SigPro Router] Mapa de rutas generado:
   📄 /                    -> index.js
   📄 /about                -> about.js
   📄 /blog                 -> blog/index.js
   🔗 /blog/[id]            -> blog/[id].js
   🔗 /users/[userId]       -> users/[userId].js

Route Priority

Routes are automatically prioritized:

1. Static routes (non-dynamic) are matched before dynamic routes
2. Routes are sorted by path length (shorter paths first)

Route Object Properties

Each route in the routes array contains:

Property	Type	Description
path	string | RegExp	Static path string or RegExp for dynamic routes
component	Function	The imported page component/module
isDynamic	boolean	Whether the route has parameters
paramName	string | null	The parameter name for dynamic routes

Dynamic Route Parameters

For dynamic routes like blog/[id].js:

• The route path becomes: new RegExp("^\\/blog\\/(?<id>[^/]+)$")
• Parameters can be accessed via match.groups when matching the route

Example:

const match = '/blog/123'.match(/^\/blog\/(?<id>[^/]+)$/);
console.log(match.groups.id); // '123'

Limitations

• Only scans .js files (no JSX/TS support by default - modify the plugin if needed)
• Requires a src/pages directory in your project root
• Dynamic parameters are matched as single path segments (no catch-all routes)

Customization

You can modify the plugin to:

• Support other file extensions (.jsx, .ts, .tsx)
• Change the pages directory location
• Add custom route sorting logic
• Implement nested dynamic routes
