Routing

Introduction

EJS supports both server-side and client-side routing. Each routing method may be used independently or in tandem with another to enable a hybrid solution.

Server-side Routing

While EJS does not include a facility for server-side routing, it can be easily integrated using entry points.

Client-side Routing

EJS provides a flexible but straightforward client-side routing library. Using the routing library allows you to design a more responsive user interface, provide location awareness to the user via the address bar, ensure expected behavior of the browser's forward/back buttons, enable programmatic navigation, and allow application state to be pre-populated from a URL.

The client-side router will only consider the hash portion of a URL (follows the #).
