Aurelia Router Loader

Author routes in your Aurelia applications using JSON files.

How to use it

Like you would any other plugin. Simply include it and then supply the location of your route files. The following assumes you have a routes folder in your root application directory (one up from src).

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a limitation with plugins and Aurelia, you need to define a default route. You can't have all of your routes in a JSON file. The first route your application will hit should be defined the regular way.

export function configure(aurelia) {
    aurelia.use
        .standardConfiguration()
        .developmentLogging()
        .plugin('aurelia-router-loader', config => {
            config.defineRoutes([
                '/routes/main.json',
                '/routes/admin.json' 
            ]);
        });
        
    aurelia.start().then(a => a.setRoot());
}

Please ensure your router files are in proper JSON format:

[
      { 
          "route": "users",         
          "name": "users",        
          "moduleId": "users",        
          "nav": true, 
          "title": "Github Users" 
      },
      { 
          "route": "child-router",  
          "name": "child-router", 
          "moduleId": "child-router", 
          "nav": true, 
          "title": "Child Router" 
      }
]
