Thank you @stucork and everyone who contributed!

Quick question…can the new routing system co-exist with Anvil-Extra’s Hash Routing?

I want to gradually transition parts of my app to the new route instead of all at once.

Thanks!

Not really. Both routers want to control the browser’s history api. So I can’t see that ending well.

Love it, I use this routing component in all my projects, by default.

I need to do some more investigating on this new routing method, I’ve got heaps of pages/apps that use the older routing from anvil-extras which I’d love to move away from, but not sure if the effort of doing so is worth it though
