GWT history with push state

[jhon tonini]

Is possible to use push state in GWT history  (Es. /users, /newuser)  instead of "#" ?

[Michael Conrad]

Have you looked at "nalu"?

https://github.com/NaluKit/nalu

Starting with version 1.1.0 Nalu supports the use of hash less URLs.

Not sure about the Domino-Kit stuff

Is possible implement push state in GWT  without extra libraries ?

[Tino D.]

You need at least something to access the history api. AFAIK with elemental which is delivered with GWT you could do it (https://docs.sencha.com/gxt/4.x/javadoc/gwt-elemental-2.8.2/elemental/html/History.html).

But if you want to have something future safe you should use something that uses JsInterop. With elemental2 for example you can access History: https://javadoc.io/static/com.google.elemental2/elemental2-dom/1.0.0/elemental2/dom/History.html .

Another solution is to use domino-history:

https://github.com/DominoKit/domino-history

This is a very thin wrapper for the history api which is lightweight and works with J2CL (future safe). You can check the domino-ui-demo to see how fine this works.

Not GWT History directly, but if you're using Places then you can use a Historian that uses pushState instead of GWT History: https://gist.github.com/tbroyer/1883821 (this is nearly 9 years old, you'll probably want to replace JSNI with JsInterop/Elemental2)

As Tomas said, not directly with History.  It's simple JSNI though:

public static native void updateURL(String newUrl) /*-{

    $wnd.history.pushState(newUrl, "", newUrl);

}-*/;

public static native void initialise() /*-{

$wnd.onpopstate = $entry(function(e) {

@com.blah.YourClass::yourMethodThatListensForUrlChange()();

});

}-*/;

JSNI is deprecated, you can use the browser state API with pushState.

You can also check domino-history which a lightweight wrapper around the pushState.
