Stabilise Web Routing API

[arkivanov]

Docs: link. Collection feedback and use cases here.

Points to improve:

• Consider moving WebHistoryController from commonMain to jsMain
• Consider nested WebHistoryController

Thanks, updated the link.

[plusmobileapps]

The example links in that doc seem to also be dead links pointing to the wrong path?

[arkivanov]

@plusmobileapps thanks! Indeed, they are also broken.

The correct ones respectively:

• https://github.com/arkivanov/Decompose/blob/master/sample/app-js/src/main/kotlin/com/arkivanov/sample/app/Main.kt
• https://github.com/arkivanov/Decompose/blob/master/sample/shared/shared/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/arkivanov/sample/shared/root/RootComponent.kt

[arkivanov]

The links should be fixed now.

[arkivanov]

This will stay experimental for a while.

Is there any open discussion about WebHistoryController?

[arkivanov]

Is there any open discussion about WebHistoryController?

I don't remember any discussion. The WebHistoryController doesn't support nested navigation, I wanted to try doing something with it but didn't have time yet.

[Burtan]

I think nested navigation is very much needed for bigger web applications. If this is open for discussion I'll collect my thoughts about it :-).

[arkivanov]

Sure, feel free!

Don't think it's super critical, but for sure nice to have, we don't store tabs sub navigation, it gets blown away when switching top level tabs. But I'm guessing htere may be cases where that is wanted

[arkivanov]

it gets blown away when switching top level tabs

I think this shouldn't normally happen. Only if you restart the session. The root instance shouldn't recreating when you navigate normally.
