angular-new-router-latest v0.6.0

Component Router

A new router for Angular 1.5 and 2.0, written with TypeScript.

NOTE: The dist output was compiled from commit 7df14e42

State of this project

For now, the code has been moved to angular/angular. APIs are still rapidly changing, so I don't recommend using this in an important production app quite yet.

See the Angular Weekly Meeting Notes for updates.

NOTE: Everything below is out-of-date, but left for posterity.

Trying the router

You can install the router via npm:

npm install angular-new-router

The documentation is pretty sparse. See the examples/ directory in this repo for now.

Goals

This router aims to fulfill the requirements mentioned in the Angular 2.0 router design document.

Below is a short summary of these goals:

• Have sensible conventions and defaults
• Be customizable at almost every point
• Support sibling "viewports" (like ng-views in Angular 1.x's ngRoute)
• Support nested routers
  • Allow components to encapsulate entire parts of an application
• Expose a "navigation model" which can be used to generate a navigation UI (like menus)
  • Expose which route in the model is active (useful in styling/highlighting links in the menu)
• Generate hrefs based on router hierarchies
• Lazy-load components
• Be able to reuse component instances
• Use either push state or hash change mode
• Handle updating the document title

Prior Art

• Durandal Router
• ngRoute from Angular 1.x
• Route Recognizer
