Router: Redirect Upon Entry about reef HOT 4 CLOSED

Duplicate of #52

from reef.

Sorry, I don't think this is a duplicate. Probably my fault for not providing a sample, as the issue template requested. 😨

Let's take this set of routes:

var router = new Reef.Router({
	routes: [
		{
			url: '/',
			redirect: '/dashboard/'
		},
		{
			id: 'dashboard',
			title: 'Dashboard',
			url: '/dashboard/'
		}
	],
});

I would think from that setup that doing an initial visit to / would cause a redirect to /dashboard/ but it doesn't, because redirects are only checked when the framework detects a navigation, rather than when the page is first loaded and the route determined. At least, that's what I see in the code that I linked to.

This seems different than the other issue you linked to, which is about configuring your webserver to send all the various routes to the same HTML file.

Ah yep, there seems to be an issue with the / path

This should be fixed with v8.x
