Links to RouteNavigator Routes?

cbeo

I'd like to be able to share a URL to a view managed by RouteNavigator.

E.g.

"https://my-app.com/some-route"

where "some-route" is registered to display the SomeView class.

Is something like this possible?

Yes, it is possible. However, you need to configure your web server to rewrite the URLs.

The components-explorer sample included with Feathers UI uses RouterNavigator, and I have configured Apache server on feathersui.com to ensure that URLs like https://feathersui.com/samples/haxe-openfl/components-explorer/button and https://feathersui.com/samples/haxe-openfl/components-explorer/layout-group are rewritten to https://feathersui.com/samples/haxe-openfl/components-explorer/ because that's where the index.html file is located.

To do that, I have an .htaccess file in the samples/haxe-openfl/components-explorer directory on my server. It basically checks to see if a real file or directory exists first. If not, then it rewrites the sub-directory part of the URL to point to the root of the sample.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /samples/haxe-openfl/components-explorer/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /samples/haxe-openfl/components-explorer/ [L]

Other web servers should support similar functionality, but they will be configured differently. So if you're not using Apache, you may need to check the docs for your server.
