Link custom element to handle route changes in thepassle/app-tools router

router.ts

import { RouterLink } from './RouterLink';

// After router is setup...
RouterLink.setRouter(() => router);

RouterLink.ts

import { css, html, LitElement } from 'lit';
import { customElement, property, state } from 'lit/decorators.js';

import { RouteEvent, Router } from './Router';

@customElement('router-link')
export class RouterLink extends LitElement {
  static router: Router | null = null;

  @property({ type: String }) to = '';

  static styles = [
    css`
      a {
        cursor: pointer;
      }
    `,
  ];

  static setRouter(fn: () => Router) {
    RouterLink.router = fn();
  }

  @state() private isActive = false;

  constructor() {
    super();

    if (!RouterLink.router) {
      console.error(
        'Router is not set for RouterLink. Please use RouterLink.setRouter().',
      );
    }
    
    this.boundHandleRouteChange = this.handleRouteChange.bind(this);
  }

  connectedCallback() {
    super.connectedCallback();

    if (!RouterLink.router) {
      return;
    }

    RouterLink.router.addEventListener(
      'route-changed',
      this.boundHandleRouteChange,
    );

    this.updateActiveState(RouterLink.router.context.url.pathname);
  }

  disconnectedCallback() {
    super.disconnectedCallback();

    RouterLink.router?.removeEventListener(
      'route-changed',
      this.boundHandleRouteChange,
    );
  }

  handleRouteChange(event: Event) {
    this.updateActiveState((event as RouteEvent).context.url.pathname);
  }

  updateActiveState = (currentPath: string) => {
    this.isActive = currentPath === this.to;
  };

  render() {
    const part = this.isActive ? 'link active' : 'link';

    return html`<a href="${this.to}" part=${part} @click="${this.handleClick}"
      ><slot></slot
    ></a>`;
  }

  handleClick(event: Event) {
    event.preventDefault();

    if (RouterLink.router?.navigate && this.to) {
      RouterLink.router?.navigate(this.to);
    }
  }
}

import { css, html, LitElement } from 'lit';
import { customElement, property } from 'lit/decorators.js';

import { Item } from './types';

@customElement('my-links')
export class Links extends LitElement {
  @property({ type: Array })

  static styles = [
    css`
      cx-link::part(link):hover {
        background-color: var(--color-gray-100);
      }

      cx-link::part(link active) {

      <ul>
        ${this.items.map(
          (item) => html`
            <li>
              <cx-link to="${item.path}">${item.title}</cx-link>
            </li>
          `,

I've updated the gist and tested locally, and it looks good 👍
