default path

[aaronchi]

In some previous documentation it seemed like there a default function you could set if no paths matched. I want to use this but it seems to be missing in the current version. I tried using rescue for this but it doesn't work in the same way (doesn't set the window location)

Is there any way to apply a default function to all paths?

Maybe one way to do this is to include the same wildcard functionality as in rails routes using *

Path.map("/*path")

You can specify a default action that will be called if none are provided upon page load via the Path.root, like so:

Path.root("#/index");

Then you can specify that as an action:

Path.map("#/index").to(function(){
    // Your default code here
});

If a user lands on your page with no route specified, it will automatically go to the root path. This can be anything; you just need to assign an action to that route via the usual Path.map methods.

Hope my answer was helpful. If so, please ask again, and/or close the question.

I have not heard any issue with this in over 1 month. I take it my comment solved the problem. If there are any further issues, please feel free to open a new issue.

Can you explain how to use Path.root to achieve the same functionality presented in this tutorial?

That post doesn't make use of path.root, it uses the Path.default function. You'll have to have accompanying server-side code to modify the returned HTML.
