New features

• You can now pass to router.add() objects containing canActivate functions and those functions will be registered. No need to call for each route addNode or canActivate.

• Persistent parameters plugin now available.

Breaking change

• router.registerComponent and router.deregisterComponent have been removed in favour of canDeactivate

• Additional arguments now apply to middleware functions.

• Context has been removed from middleware functions.

• Middleware functions are now a function taking a router instance and returning a function called on each transition.

• Plugins, like middleware functions, are now a function taking a router instance and returning an object of methods (which doesn't contain an init function anymore).

• autoCleanUp is no longer shared with router5-listeners. If you need to turn off automatic deregistration of node listeners, pass { autoCleanUp: false } to the listeners plugin.

• router5 package now exports Router5 as default, and RouteNode, loggerPlugin, errCodes and transitionPath as named exports

Code example

ES2015+

import Router5, { loggerPlugin } from 'router5';
import historyPlugin from 'router5-history';
import listenersPlugin from 'router5-listeners';
​
const router = new Router5()
    .add([{
        name: 'home',
        path: '/home'
    }])
    .usePlugin(historyPlugin())
    .usePlugin(listenersPlugin())
    // Development helper
    .usePlugin(loggerPlugin())
    .start();

ES5

var router5 = require('router5');
var Router5 = router5.default;
var loggerPlugin = router5.loggerPlugin;
​
var historyPlugin = require('router5-history');
var listenersPlugin = require('router5-listeners');
​
var router = new Router5()
    .add([{
        name: 'home',
        path: '/home'
    }])
    .usePlugin(historyPlugin())
    .usePlugin(listenersPlugin())
    // Development helper
    .usePlugin(loggerPlugin())
