Location

To deal with window.location, we have some functions to create atoms.

Install

You have to install jotai-location to use this feature.

npm i jotai-location

atomWithLocation

atomWithLocation(options): PrimitiveAtom

atomWithLocation creates a new atom that links to window.location.

Parameters

options (optional): an object of options to customize the behavior of the atom

Options

preloaded (optional): preloaded location value to avoid getting location at initialization.

replace (optional): a boolean to indicate to use replaceState instead of pushState.

getLocation (optional): a custom function to get location value.

applyLocation (optional): a custom function to set location value.

subscribe (optional): a custom function to subscribe to location change.

Examples

import { useAtom } from 'jotai'
import { atomWithLocation } from 'jotai-location'

const locationAtom = atomWithLocation()

const App = () => {
  const [loc, setLoc] = useAtom(locationAtom)
  return (
    <ul>
      <li>
        <button
          style={{
            fontWeight: loc.pathname === '/' ? 'bold' : 'normal',
          }}
          onClick={() => setLoc((prev) => ({ ...prev, pathname: '/' }))}
        >
          Home
        </button>
      </li>
      <li>
        <button
          style={{
            fontWeight:
              loc.pathname === '/foo' && !loc.searchParams?.get('bar')
                ? 'bold'
                : 'normal',
          }}
          onClick={() =>
            setLoc((prev) => ({
              ...prev,
              pathname: '/foo',
              searchParams: new URLSearchParams(),
            }))
          }
        >
          Foo
        </button>
      </li>

        <button
          style={{
            fontWeight:
              loc.pathname === '/foo' && loc.searchParams?.get('bar') === '1'
                ? 'bold'
                : 'normal',
          }}
          onClick={() =>
            setLoc((prev) => ({
              ...prev,
              pathname: '/foo',
              searchParams: new URLSearchParams([['bar', '1']]),
            }))
          }
        >

atomWithHash

atomWithHash(key, initialValue, options): PrimitiveAtom

This creates a new atom that is connected with URL hash. The hash must be in the URLSearchParams format. It's a two-way binding: changing the atom value will change the hash and changing the hash will change the atom value. This function works only with DOM.

Parameters

key (required): a unique string used as the key when syncing state with localStorage, sessionStorage, or AsyncStorage

initialValue (required): the initial value of the atom

options (optional): an object of options to customize the behavior of the atom

Options

serialize (optional): a custom function to serialize the atom value to the hash. Defaults to JSON.stringify.

deserialize (optional): a custom function to deserialize the hash to the atom value. Defaults to JSON.parse.

subscribe (optional): custom hash change subscribe function

setHash (optional): replaceState or a custom function that describes how hash gets updated on the side of the browser. Defaults to pushing a new entry to the history via window.location.hash = searchParams (jotai-location#4)

Examples

import { useAtom } from 'jotai'
import { atomWithHash } from 'jotai-location'

const countAtom = atomWithHash('count', 1)

const Counter = () => {
  const [count, setCount] = useAtom(countAtom)
  return (
    <div>
      <div>count: {count}</div>
      <button onClick={() => setCount((c) => c + 1)}>+1</button>
    </div>
  )
}
