Base Path Deployment

Problem

Implement base path deployment in a production-friendly way with @vielzeug/routeit while keeping setup and cleanup explicit.

Runnable Example

The snippet below is copy-paste runnable in a TypeScript project with @vielzeug/routeit installed.

Deploy at a subdirectory without changing route definitions:

ts
const router = createRouter({ base: '/my-app' });

router
  .on('/', renderHome)
  .on('/about', renderAbout)
  .on('/users/:id', ({ params }) => renderUser(params.id), { name: 'user' })
  .start();

// Navigation and URL building automatically prepend /my-app
router.navigate('/about'); // pushes /my-app/about
router.url('user', { id: '7' }); // → '/my-app/users/7'
router.isActive('/about'); // true when at /my-app/about

Expected Output

  • The example runs without type errors in a standard TypeScript setup.
  • The main flow produces the behavior described in the recipe title.

Common Pitfalls

  • Forgetting cleanup/dispose calls can leak listeners or stale state.
  • Skipping explicit typing can hide integration issues until runtime.
  • Not handling error branches makes examples harder to adapt safely.
