Why page reloads? about svelte-pathfinder

[12gsdi]

If someone is searching for a svelte router it's because they don't want to use Sveltekit....which reloads the page????? So confused

Hi! Maybe I completely misunderstand your issue, but this router don’t reload pages, because uses History API under the hood. Of course, if you use it as expected. Actually, pathfinder completely unopinionated how exactly you’ll use it in your application and provides only very low-level but in the same time very powerful instruments to manipulating with routing state. That’s why, to help you with your problems I need to have an example of how you exact use it. Let’s try to find out why it not working as you expected together.

Btw. SvelteKit doesn’t reload the pages as well. It uses universal (isomorphic) approaches to build the apps, combining both - server and client - sides to provide better performance and UX.

First of all, please make sure that you’re handle clicks on all your navigation links and preventDefault its behavior. Alternatively, you can use click helper from pathfinder on window object to handle click of all regular <a> tags in your app:

<svelte:window on:click={click} />
