Are you considering upgrading to navigo router 8? It has some nice features.

I've looked at the new version but I'm not sure about new initialization requirement.

Currently I'm creating new navigo instance inside KVision. It doesn't seem possible with the mandatory path parameter.

[Tomas Kormanak]

It would help not to create navigo instance in kvision or find a way how to customize it. For example with current implementation we had to hack it to set root

val r = routing
val root = window.location.toString().substringBefore("#")
js("r.root = root")

to avoid some bugs in autodetecting root.

I can imagine add factory to create default router and allow users to register own factory in Application class.

[Tomas Kormanak]

I'll think about it. I realized I can instantiate it by myself, because we don't use DSL to setup routes. We use nested stackPanels and when user navigate to the component I need to show appropriate panels in whole hierarchy.

I made an issue with my ideas.

I wish I had thought more about routing before the 4.x release. It would be easier to just introduce modular routing as a breaking change 😉

[Tomas Kormanak]

🙂

[Robert Jaros]

But perhaps it's still possible to do this with very little "breaking" 😉 Just for a minor release 😉 I'll think about it.
