i am new to polymer and i just start it with Polymer 1.0 starter-kit
i understand the structure of Polymer app and used the page.js for making a new rout like this.
window.addEventListener('WebComponentsReady', function() {
// We use Page.js for routing. This is a Micro
// client-side router inspired by the Express router
// More info: https://visionmedia.github.io/page.js/
page('/', function () {
app.route = 'home';
});
page('/users', function () {
app.route = 'artworks';
});
//my new routing def. <<<<<<<<
page('/artworks', function () {
app.route = 'artworks';
});
page('/users/:name', function (data) {
app.route = 'user-info';
app.params = data.params;
});
page('/contact', function () {
app.route = 'contact';
});
// add #! before urls
page({
hashbang: true
});
});
as i understood the page.js sets the app.route to some values and the Polymer iron-pages uses the app.route to select the right section to show with selected="{{route}}"
the code is like this:
<iron-pages attr-for-selected="data-route" selected="{{route}}">
<section data-route="home">home section</section>
<section data-route="users">users section</section>
<section data-route="artworks">artworks section</section>
<section data-route="user-info">user-info section</section>
<section data-route="contact">contact section</section>
</iron-pages>
after all what is the problem!?
well when i use localhost:8000/artworks the page.js wont change it to localhost:8000/#!/artworks but it do just the same for every other routed address like localhost:8000/users or localhost:8000/contact
as a result the web browser will search for the file at localhost:8000/artworks folder and finds nothing so a 404 err will occur.
i can not understand now. what did i missed here? any idea?
