Question 1

How does Nano Stores Router compare to React Router?

Accepted Answer

Nano Stores Router is much smaller and framework-agnostic, but React Router offers more features like nested routes and a larger ecosystem. Choose based on your need for minimalism versus comprehensive functionality, especially if you're already using Nano Stores.

Question 2

How to handle authentication with Nano Stores Router?

Accepted Answer

Since it's store-based, manage authentication state in a Nano Store and conditionally redirect using openPage() or redirectPage(). However, it lacks built-in route guards, so you'll need to implement checks manually in your components or stores.

Question 3

Does Nano Stores Router support lazy loading of components?

Accepted Answer

No, it doesn't include built-in support for code splitting or lazy loading. You would need to handle component loading separately, such as using dynamic imports in your chosen framework, which adds extra complexity.

Question 4

Can I use Nano Stores Router with Next.js or Nuxt.js?

Accepted Answer

It can be integrated, but since these frameworks have their own routing systems, using Nano Stores Router might be redundant or lead to conflicts. It's better suited for SPAs or custom setups without framework-specific routing.

Question 5

How to set up nested routes in Nano Stores Router?

Accepted Answer

Nano Stores Router doesn't natively support nested routes. You would need to define flat routes and manage hierarchy manually through component logic or by combining multiple router instances, which can become cumbersome.

Question 6

What are the performance implications of Nano Stores Router?

Accepted Answer

Its tiny size reduces bundle overhead significantly, and the store-based approach can lead to efficient updates. However, for complex applications, the lack of optimizations like route preloading or advanced caching might impact performance compared to heavier routers.
