Router utils ​

The router object contains a few utils that can be used to programmatically navigate through the application.

Most of the navigation functions accept an options argument whose properties are documented in the router options page.

When a url argument is accepted, its type is the same as the url property of the options argument.

get, post, put, patch, delete ​

This function initiates a programmatic navigation to the given URL using the corresponding method.

When performing non-GET requests, by default, the preserveState option will be set to true.

router.get(url, options)
router.post(url, options)
router.put(url, options)
router.patch(url, options)
router.delete(url, options)

reload ​

This function initiates a programmatic navigation to the current URL. By default, the navigation will preserve the scroll position and the component's state.

router.reload(options)

local ​

This function initiates a local-only navigation. This navigation will not reach the server — it will only re-render the specified (or current) component with the specified properties.

router.local(options)

Its options argument is different from the other navigation functions: only the replace, preserveScroll and preserveState options are available. Additionally, a component and a properties options are also available.

interface ComponentNavigationOptions {
	/** Name of the component to use. */
	component?: string
	/** Properties to apply to the component. */
	properties?: Properties
}

external ​

This function initiates an external, hard navigation. This is an equivalent of using document.location.href.

If provided, the data object will be converted to query parameters.

router.external(url, data)

navigate ​

This function initiates a programmatic navigation without any specific default.

router.navigate(options)

abort ​

This function aborts the current request. The abort hook will be triggered.

dialog.close ​

This function closes the current dialog. It takes the same options as the other router functions.

router.dialog.close()

history.get ​

This function fetches the given key from the history state. The state is specific to the current history entry.

router.history.get(key)

history.remember ​

This function sets the given key and value in the history state. The state is specific to the current history entry.

router.history.remember(key, value)
