-`@hyperjumptech/react-next-pathname` tracks the next pathname immediately when a link is clicked, without waiting for the new page to load. At Hyperjump, we use this to instantly update the sidebar or navigation, making the application feel smooth and fast.
+This is a helper tool you can use in your React application to make it feel faster and smoother when navigating between pages. Say you have a sidebar that contains links to different pages. When you click a link, the component that displays the link will show that it's currently active—usually like this:
+
+```tsx
+const isPathActive = (pathname: string) => {
+ return pathname === window.location.pathname;
+};
+
+const Sidebar = () => {
+ return (
+
+ {[
+ { pathname: "/", title: "Home" },
+ { pathname: "/about", title: "About" },
+ {
+ pathname: "/contact",
+ title: "Contact",
+ },
+ ].map(({ pathname, title }) => (
+
+ {title}
+
+ ))}
+
+ );
+};
+```
+
+The problem is that when the clicked page is slow to load due to bad network conditions or slow server response, the clicked link will not immediately show that it's active. This is because the `window.location.pathname` is not updated until the page has fully loaded. Users might think that nothing is happening when they click the link, and they will be confused.
+
+This library helps you solve this problem by allowing you to get the next pathname immediately when a link is clicked, without waiting for the new page to load.
