First-class base path support!

Though the base path support was possible before, via a custom useLocation hook, it wasn't fully SEO-friendly — for example, the link would still have a relative href attribute.

After a long discussion, it's been decided to enable the base path support on a top-level Router component 🎉 You can now just wrap your app with <Router base="/app"> and that's it! Learn more about this feature →

The added bundle cost is just 48 extra bytes.

Preact 10.0, generic types and missing updates

• Wouter now is fully-compatible with Preact 10.0! You can install Preact version via npm install wouter-preact #88, thanks @developit
• Type definitions now support generics, handy if you want to specify a shape of props your component accepts #87, thanks @ArnaudBarre
• useLocation now also catches updates that may happens between the initial render and useEffect call. See #85
• Redirect component now uses useLayoutEffect to trigger the update as soon as possible and prevent apps from flicker.

Types, types, types... and Preact-only package!

Improvements:

• TypeScript types are now bundled with the library, including types for React and wouter/preact! Types are properly tested and can be maintained in the same repo. Thanks to @Ty3uK @StrayFromThePath and @polRk
• Wouter now comes with a standalone package with Preact-only version: npm install wouter-preact. This makes it possible to use proper peerDependecies, and stop relying on React in your project #48 #49 cc/ @cedeber
• 2nd argument of useLocation is now properly cached #74 #69 cc/ @neves
• Links do not fire navigation when click using modifier keys like ctrl or ⌘ #68 thanks @marvinhagemeister
• setLocation now supports a 2nd argument which allows to perform replaceState navigation (@Ty3uK via #52):

setLocation('/about', true); // calls replaceState instead of pushState
