Frontend Routing

You might have some questions:

  • how does the frontend routing work ?
  • how to add custom routes ?

Router file

It all begins with the react-router-dom router

  • Directorysrc

Inside this file is all the routing

If this documentation is up to date 😳, it will look like this:

export const adominRoutes = createBrowserRouter([
  {
    path: '/',
    element: <Navigate to={ADOMIN_HOME_PATH} />,
  },
  {
    path: ADOMIN_HOME_PATH,
    element: <Navigate to={ADOMIN_FOLDERS_PATH} />,
  },
  {
    path: ADOMIN_FOLDERS_PATH,
    children: [
      {
        path: ':view',
        element: <FoldersPage />,
      },
    ],
    element: <HomePage />,
  },
  {
    path: ADOMIN_STATS_PATH,
    children: [
      {
        path: ':view',
        element: <StatsPage />,
      },
    ],
    element: <HomePage />,
  },
  {
    path: ADOMIN_MODELS_PATH,
    children: [
      {
        path: ':view',
        children: [
          { index: true, element: <ModelListPage /> },
          { path: 'create', element: <CreateModelPage /> },
          { path: ':primaryKeyValue', element: <EditModelPage /> },
        ],
        element: <ModelsPageLayout />,
      },
    ],
    element: <HomePage />,
  },
  {
    path: ADOMIN_LOGIN_PATH,
    element: <LoginPage />,
  },
])

You can see that it is creating dynamic paths, those paths will be determined with your backend adomin config.

To be clear, if you do not change the ADOMIN_*_PATH variables, the following paths are created:

Terminal window
/ # this path just redirects to /adomin, you can customize/remove this behaviour if you don't like it
/login


/backoffice/folders/:view # this dynamic path renders a folder view, which will redirect you to the nearest non-folder view
/backoffice/stats/:view # this dynamic path renders a stat view


/backoffice # this path adds a layout around the children of this route
/backoffice/:model # this is the list page
/backoffice/:model/create # this is the create page
/backoffice/:model/:primaryKeyValue # this is the update page

and here is an example if you configured adomin with the User model

Terminal window
/backoffice/User
/backoffice/User/create
/backoffice/User/1 # page to update user with id = 1

Custom routes and overrides

If you want to override some page, let’s say the create and the update page for your resource User, you will be able to do so by using the makeOverridePage helper, then put it somewhere in the router config, here is an example:

export const adominRoutes = createBrowserRouter([
  // default adomin config
  // ...


  // your config
  makeOverridePage({ model: 'User', type: 'create' }, <MyOverridePage />),
  makeOverridePage({ model: 'User', type: 'update' }, <MyOverridePage2 />),
  makeOverridePage({ model: 'User', type: 'list' }, <MyOverridePage3 />),
])
