Router

public Router(RouteRegistry registry)

Constructs a new router with the given route registry and a DefaultRouteResolver.

Parameters:

registry - the route registry to use, not null

Method Details

initializeUI

public void initializeUI(UI ui,
 Location location)

Enables navigation for a new UI instance. This initializes the UI content based on the location used for loading the UI and sets up the UI to be updated when the user navigates to some other location.

Parameters:

ui - the UI that navigation should be set up for

location - the location object of the route

resolveNavigationTarget

public Optional<NavigationState> resolveNavigationTarget(String pathInfo,
 Map<String,String[]> parameterMap)

Resolve the navigation target for given path and parameter map using the router routeResolver.

Parameters:

pathInfo - the path relative to the application

parameterMap - A mapping of parameter names to arrays of parameter values

Returns:

NavigationTarget for the given path and parameter map if found

resolveNavigationTarget

public Optional<NavigationState> resolveNavigationTarget(Location location)

Resolve the navigation target for given Location using the router routeResolver.

Parameters:

location - the location object of the route

Returns:

NavigationTarget for the given location if found

resolveRouteNotFoundNavigationTarget

public Optional<NavigationState> resolveRouteNotFoundNavigationTarget()

Resolve a navigation target with an empty NotFoundException.

Returns:

an instance of NavigationState for NotFoundException or empty if there is none in the application.

navigate

public int navigate(UI ui,
 Location location,
 NavigationTrigger trigger)

Navigates the given UI to the given location.

This method just shows the given location on the page and doesn't update the browser location (and page history). Use the UI.navigate(String, QueryParameters) method if you want to update the browser location as well.

Parameters:

ui - the UI to update, not null

location - the location to navigate to, not null

trigger - the type of user action that triggered this navigation, not null

Returns:

the HTTP status code resulting from the navigation

See Also:

• UI.navigate(String)
• UI.navigate(String, QueryParameters)

navigate

public int navigate(UI ui,
 Location location,
 NavigationTrigger trigger,
 com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.node.BaseJsonNode state)

Navigates the given UI to the given location. For internal use only.

This method pushes to the browser history if the trigger is NavigationTrigger.ROUTER_LINK or NavigationTrigger.UI_NAVIGATE.

Parameters:

ui - the UI to update, not null

location - the location to navigate to, not null

trigger - the type of user action that triggered this navigation, not null

state - includes navigation state info including for example the scroll position and the complete href of the RouterLink

Returns:

the HTTP status code resulting from the navigation

See Also:

• UI.navigate(String)
• UI.navigate(String, QueryParameters)

navigate

public int navigate(UI ui,
 Location location,
 NavigationTrigger trigger,
 com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.node.BaseJsonNode state,
 boolean forceInstantiation,
 boolean recreateLayoutChain)

Navigates the given UI to the given location. For internal use only.

This method pushes to the browser history if the trigger is NavigationTrigger.ROUTER_LINK or NavigationTrigger.UI_NAVIGATE.

Parameters:

ui - the UI to update, not null

location - the location to navigate to, not null

trigger - the type of user action that triggered this navigation, not null

state - includes navigation state info including for example the scroll position and the complete href of the RouterLink

forceInstantiation - if set to true, the navigation target will always be instantiated

recreateLayoutChain - if set to true, the complete layout chain up to the navigation target will be re-instantiated. Requires forceInstantiation to be true to have an effect.

Returns:

the HTTP status code resulting from the navigation
