Practical Patterns

Refresh the current route

Re-run route resolution and lifecycle work without inventing a fake navigation.

Current-route re-resolution

Startup happens once. Reality changes. Use refresh() when the current location should be resolved again after startup.

await router.refresh();

Use refresh() after runtime conditions change and should affect the current route, for example:

start() initializes the router once. refresh() re-runs the current-location resolution.

Block unsaved changes

Use a navigation blocker for dirty forms without hijacking every browser event.

Breadcrumbs and page titles

Derive navigation labels and app chrome from the active route metadata chain.
