<rtr-router> is a router built on top of Polymer

Routing for anchor tag click events and form submit events.
Optional lazy loading of route handlers.
Static and parameterized paths.
Form submits are conveniently routed to their handlers with a hash of input values.
Conveniently bootstrap your application prior to processing its first routing request.
Everything is a custom element so there is nothing new to learn.

Quick Start

Two quick start options are available:

Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/jeffschwartz/rtr.git.

Documentation And Demo

See the component page for complete documentation and demo.

Example

Define your routes using JavaScript:

<link rel="import" href="../../polymer/polymer.html">
<link rel="import" href="../rtr-route.html">
<polymer-element name="demo-routes" extends="rtr-route">
    <template>
    </template>
    <script>

(function() {
    "use strict";
    Polymer("demo-routes", {
        staticPath: function(){
            document.getElementById("demo-staticpath-info").textContent =
                "demo-staticpath \"staticPath\" route handler called";
            console.log("demo-staticpath \"staticPath\" route handler called");
        },
        parameterizedPath: function(year, month, day) {
            document.getElementById("demo-parameterizedpath-info").innerHTML =
                "demo-parameterizedpath \"parameterizedPath\" route handler was called with parameters" +
                "<br>year = " + year + "<br>month = " + month + "<br>day = " + day;
            console.log("demo-parameterizedpath \"parameterizedPath\" route handler called");
        },
        formSubmit: function(valuesHash) {
            document.getElementById("demo-formsubmit-info").innerHTML =
                "demo-formsubmit \"formSubmit\" route handler was called with a form's valuesHash" +
                "<br>name = " + valuesHash.txtName + "<br>occupation = " + valuesHash.selOccupation.toString();
            console.log("demo-formsubmit \"formSubmit\" route handler called");
        }
    });
}());

    </script>
</polymer-element>

Declare your routes in your markup:

<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, minimum-scale=1.0, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=yes">
<title>rtr Demo</title>
<script src="../webcomponentsjs/webcomponents.min.js"></script>
<link rel="import" href="rtr-router.html">
<link rel="import" href="demo/demo-routes.html">
</head>
<body>
...
<rtr-router>
    <!-- demo-routes: declares multiple route handlers -->
    <demo-routes
        routes='[{
            "method": "get",
            "path": "/rtr/components/rtr/demo-staticpath",
            "handler": "staticPath"
        }, {
            "method": "get",
            "path": "/rtr/components/rtr/demo-parameterizedpath/year/:y/month/:m/day/:d",
            "handler": "parameterizedPath"
        }, {
            "method": "post",
            "path": "/rtr/components/rtr/demo-formsubmit",
            "handler": "formSubmit"
        }]'></demo-routes>
</rtr-router>
...
</body>
</html>
