Add new page

tramvai supports file-system based routing. Detailed documentation is available in File-System Pages section.

In this tutorial we will use the automatic way of generating new routes in the application, for which you only need to create a react page component, following the naming conventions.

info

In addition to automatic routes generation, there are several more flexible options for adding pages to the application, but requiring more manual work. In this tutorial we use the simplest and most convenient option.

Let's take a more detailed look at routing, taking the main page of our Pokedex - the page with the list of pokemon - as an example.

The page available on the url http://localhost:3000/ is located in the component routes/index.tsx. By default, all react components in the routes folder are interpreted as application routes, and a / route will be generated based on the component named routes/index.tsx.

⌛ Replace the contents of the home page component:

routes/index.tsx
import React from 'react';

export const PokemonList = () => {
return <>Hi! This is PokemonList component :)</>;
};

export default PokemonList;
info

You need to use default export to be able to extract the page component into a separate chunk, and load it by demand

Module @tramvai/module-router is responsible for routing and automatically adding file-system based routes to the application.

Our PokemonList page is now registered in the app, and it will be automatically rendered on the / route, and available on http://localhost:3000/!
