Removing hashes from router

[Tiarnan Breffni]

I'm investigating using Durandal for a new project, and I noticed that out of the box the router uses hashes in the url for navigation, e.g. /#home, /#dashboard, etc.  If possible I'd like to avoid using hashes, and just rely on HTML5 pushState which I believe SammyJS supports already.  My question is, what changes are required, if any, in the Durandal router so that hashes are not used?

Thanks!

I'm not sure what changes are necessary yet. I think I will need to add a router setting to turn that on, plus change how I'm configuring Sammy in that case and do a few other things. I haven't yet investigated everything involved. If you want to go down this path, and have time to look into it. Please send me your findings. Pull requests are always welcome too....just be sure to preserve the existing behavior, so that the developer can choose which type of url they want.

Thanks for the feedback.  I'll spend some time investigating what changes are required and will let you know my findings.

Hi, I also had a look into it and changed a few things to the router-js (attached). I did not really tested everything but the basic nav structure seems to work, if you also change the shell.html to use router.url instead of router.hash.

Maximilian,

One question.. The require to ../viewModel would be directed to shell.js?

Sammy should be loaded as a global library?

Thank you.
