URL Prefix like "#/my-route"

[theronic]

Coming from Secretary, I'd like to use a prefix for my routing for development. Is this possible with Bidi?

[malcolmsparks]

Yes, bidi routes are fully nestable. Is that what you mean?

@malcolmsparks I'm upgrading from 1.2x and it seems that using "#/" no longer works. (At least in cljs)

You can try with this simple exemple:

;; same example as the readme, but with '#'
(def route ["#/index.html" :index])


;; we get the correct result with 'path-for'
(bidi/path-for route :index)
;;=>  "#/index.html" 

;; however, 'match-route' returns nil

(bidi/match-route route "#/index.html")

Thanks for this - I shall look into it today

I also tested in Clojure and I get the same result.

Any update?

Coding around is quite trivial, but I'd still like to know if this will be permanent.

@malcolmsparks any update on this?

Check out the source code of bidi.router.cljs - it is meant to be used for client side urls and has a minimalist working code snippet in the doc string. Once you set it up you can have routes as in Secretary, i.e. prefixed with #, but you can still use your bidi routes.
