how to configure for changes in address bar about navigo

[krasimir]

Hey @tpezzelle,

Navigo is a client side router and as such is designed to work only in the browser. I have the feeling that you are mixing it with the idea of server-side routing like the one that express (for example) provides. With Navigo, all your server-side routes should point to a single file. After that the Navigo will handle the path.

thanks for the response - it got me to thinking about "server-side routes".... i interpreted that as "addresses processed by the server in an attempt to resolve a request".... which got me thinking about IIS (my deployment world) rewrite rules.

found this very helpful bit by Matt Burke:

it doesn't apply specifically to navigo... but it works very nicely! all i had to do is add a call in my startup script that processes the window.location.path and then implements navigo against that path. now i can enter addresses or navigate with links and they resolve as desired.

By the way.... really excellent tool!
