Paths

Paths in the Accent router are managed separately to facilitate consistency across applications. Below are Accent's loosely defined rules for paths within the router module.

Absolute Paths

External files that are stored locally and use an absolute path (such as your app.js file) should contain a leading / in the file path to avoid errors with routing.

Correct: <script src="/app.js"></script>

Incorrect: <script src="./app.js"></script>

Incorrect: <script src="app.js"></script>

Note that all router link paths (within your routing config) should also be formatted as absolute paths.

Dynamic Paths

Dynamic paths must start and end with a / to be treated as dynamic routes. Dynamic routes that do not end in / will be treated as literal absolute paths.

Correct: /dynamic/:path/

Incorrect: /dynamic/:path (or correct, if you are looking for a path that is literally www.yoursite.com/dynamic/:path/)

Incorrect: dynamic/:path

Incorrect: dynamic/:path/

Router Link Paths

Router links can attach to either the route name or the path of the route. Note that router names cannot have /s. Router links that contain literal paths shoud be formatted as absolute paths.

For the route with name page and a path /pages/somepage:

Correct: <a router-to="page">

Correct: <a router-to="/pages/somepage">

Incorrect: <a router-to="pages/somepage">

Incorrect: <a router-to="/page">
