## Methods

### `_addAttrs`

(

- `cfgs`
- `values`
- `lazy`

)
private

Inherited from AttributeCore: `attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:836`

Implementation behind the public addAttrs method.

This method is invoked directly by get if it encounters a scenario in which an attribute's valueFn attempts to obtain the value an attribute in the same group of attributes, which has not yet been added (on demand initialization).

#### Parameters:

- `cfgs` Object

  An object with attribute name/configuration pairs.

- `values` Object

  An object with attribute name/value pairs, defining the initial values to apply. Values defined in the cfgs argument will be over-written by values in this argument unless defined as read only.

- `lazy` Boolean

  Whether or not to delay the intialization of these attributes until the first call to get/set. Individual attributes can over-ride this behavior by defining a lazyAdd configuration property in their configuration. See addAttr.

### `_addLazyAttr`

(

- `name`
- `[lazyCfg]`

)
private

Inherited from AttributeCore: `attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:382`

Finishes initializing an attribute which has been lazily added.

#### Parameters:

- `name` Object

  The name of the attribute

- `[lazyCfg]` Object optional

  Optional config hash for the attribute. This is added for performance along the critical path, where the calling method has already obtained lazy config from state.

### `_afterHistoryChange`

(

- `e`

)
protected

Inherited from Router: `app/js/router.js:1269`

Handles `history:change` and `hashchange` events.

#### Parameters:

- `e` EventFacade

### `_aggregateAttrs`

(

- `allAttrs`

)
Object private

Inherited from BaseCore: `base/js/BaseCore.js:575`

A helper method, used by _initHierarchyData to aggregate attribute configuration across the instances class hierarchy.

The method will protect the attribute configuration value to protect the statically defined default value in ATTRS if required (if the value is an object literal, array or the attribute configuration has cloneDefaultValue set to shallow or deep).

#### Parameters:

- `allAttrs` Array

  An array of ATTRS definitions across classes in the hierarchy (subclass first, Base last)

#### Returns:

Object: The aggregate set of ATTRS definitions for the instance

### `_attrCfgHash`

() private

Utility method to normalize attribute values. The base implementation simply merges the hash to protect the original.

#### Parameters:

- `valueHash` Object

  An object with attribute name/value pairs

#### Returns:

### `_onLinkClick`

(

- `e`

)
protected

Inherited from PjaxBase: `pjax/js/pjax-base.js:325`

Available since 3.5.0

Handler for delegated link-click events which match the `linkSelector`.

If the user clicks a link with the middle/right mouse buttons, or is holding down the Ctrl or Command keys, this method's behavior is not applied and allows the native behavior to occur. Similarly, if the router is not capable or handling the URL because no route-handlers match, the link click will behave natively.

#### Parameters:

- `e` EventFacade

  The user configuration object

### `_protectAttrs`

(

- `attrs`

)
Object deprecated protected

Inherited from AttributeCore: `attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:883`

(

- `fullType`
- `etOpts`
- `ceOpts`

)
CustomEvent private

Inherited from EventTarget: `event-custom/js/event-target.js:610`

The low level event publish implementation. It expects all the massaging to have been done outside of this method. e.g. the `type` to `fullType` conversion. It's designed to be a fast path publish, which can be used by critical code paths to improve performance.

#### Parameters:

- `fullType` String

  The prefixed type of the event to publish.

- `etOpts` Object

  The EventTarget specific configuration to mix into the published event.

- `ceOpts` Object

  The publish specific configuration to mix into the published event.

### `_queue`

() protected chainable

Inherited from Router: `app/js/router.js:1021`

Queues up a `_save()` call to run after all previously-queued calls have finished.

This is necessary because if we make multiple `_save()` calls before the first call gets dispatched, then both calls will dispatch to the last call's URL.

All arguments passed to `_queue()` will be passed on to `_save()` when the queued function is executed.

### `_resolvePath`

(

- `path`

)
String protected

Inherited from Router: `app/js/router.js:1066`

  URL path to resolve.

#### Returns:

String: Resolved path.

### `_resolveURL`

(

- `url`

)
String protected

Inherited from Router: `app/js/router.js:1088`

Available since 3.5.0

Resolves the specified URL against the current URL.

This method resolves URLs like a browser does and will always return an absolute URL. When the specified URL is already absolute, it is assumed to be fully resolved and is simply returned as is. Scheme-relative URLs are prefixed with the current protocol. Relative URLs are giving the current URL's origin and are resolved and normalized against the current path root.

#### Parameters:

- `url` String

  URL to resolve.

#### Returns:

String: Resolved URL.

### `_save`

(

- `[url]`
- `[replace=false]`

)
protected chainable

Inherited from Router: `app/js/router.js:1139`

Saves a history entry using either `pushState()` or the location hash.

This method enforces the same-origin security constraint; attempting to save a `url` that is not from the same origin as the current URL will result in an error.

#### Parameters:

- `[url]` String optional

  URL for the history entry.

- `[replace=false]` Boolean optional

  If `true`, the current history entry will be replaced instead of a new one being added.

### `_set`

### `addAttr`

(

- `name`
- `config`
- `lazy`

)
Object chainable

Inherited from AttributeCore: `attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:157`

Adds an attribute with the provided configuration to the host object.

The config argument object supports the following properties:

value <Any>
  The initial value to set on the attribute
valueFn <Function | String>

  A function, which will return the initial value to set on the attribute. This is useful for cases where the attribute configuration is defined statically, but needs to reference the host instance ("this") to obtain an initial value. If both the value and valueFn properties are defined, the value returned by the valueFn has precedence over the value property, unless it returns undefined, in which case the value property is used.

  valueFn can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used to retrieve the value.

readOnly <boolean>
  Whether or not the attribute is read only. Attributes having readOnly set to true cannot be modified by invoking the set method.
writeOnce <boolean> or <string>
  Whether or not the attribute is "write once". Attributes having writeOnce set to true, can only have their values set once, be it through the default configuration, constructor configuration arguments, or by invoking set.

  The writeOnce attribute can also be set to the string "initOnly", in which case the attribute can only be set during initialization (when used with Base, this means it can only be set during construction)

setter <Function | String>

  The setter function used to massage or normalize the value passed to the set method for the attribute. The value returned by the setter will be the final stored value. Returning Attribute.INVALID_VALUE, from the setter will prevent the value from being stored.

  setter can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used as the setter function.

getter <Function | String>

  The getter function used to massage or normalize the value returned by the get method for the attribute. The value returned by the getter function is the value which will be returned to the user when they invoke get.

  getter can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used as the getter function.

validator <Function | String>

  The validator function invoked prior to setting the stored value. Returning false from the validator function will prevent the value from being stored.

  validator can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used as the validator function.

lazyAdd <boolean>
  Whether or not to delay initialization of the attribute until the first call to get/set it. This flag can be used to over-ride lazy initialization on a per attribute basis, when adding multiple attributes through the addAttrs method.

The setter, getter and validator are invoked with the value and name passed in as the first and second arguments, and with the context ("this") set to the host object.

Configuration properties outside of the list mentioned above are considered private properties used internally by attribute, and are not intended for public use.

#### Parameters:

- `name` String

  The name of the attribute.

- `config` Object

  An object with attribute configuration property/value pairs, specifying the configuration for the attribute.

  NOTE: The configuration object is modified when adding an attribute, so if you need to protect the original values, you will need to merge the object.

- `lazy` Boolean

  (optional) Whether or not to add this attribute lazily (on the first call to get/set).

#### Returns:

Object: A reference to the host object.

### `addAttrs`

(

- `cfgs`
- `values`
- `lazy`

)
Object chainable

Inherited from AttributeCore: `attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:805`

Configures a group of attributes, and sets initial values.

NOTE: This method does not isolate the configuration object by merging/cloning. The caller is responsible for merging/cloning the configuration object if required.

#### Parameters:

- `cfgs` Object

  An object with attribute name/configuration pairs.

- `values` Object

  An object with attribute name/value pairs, defining the initial values to apply. Values defined in the cfgs argument will be over-written by values in this argument unless defined as read only.

- `lazy` Boolean

  Whether or not to delay the intialization of these attributes until the first call to get/set. Individual attributes can over-ride this behavior by defining a lazyAdd configuration property in their configuration. See addAttr.

#### Returns:

Object: A reference to the host object.

### `addTarget`

(

- `o`

)

Inherited from EventTarget: `event-custom/js/event-facade.js:455`

#### Parameters:

- `name` String

  The name of the attribute to check.

#### Returns:

Boolean: true if an attribute with the given name has been added, false if it hasn't. This method will return true for lazily added attributes.

### `before`

()

Inherited from EventTarget: `event-custom/js/event-target.js:870`

Executes the callback before a DOM event, custom event or method. If the first argument is a function, it is assumed the target is a method. For DOM and custom events, this is an alias for Y.on.

Detach one or more listeners the from the specified event

#### Parameters:

- `type` String | Object

  Either the handle to the subscriber or the type of event. If the type is not specified, it will attempt to remove the listener from all hosted events.

- `fn` Function

  The subscribed function to unsubscribe, if not supplied, all subscribers will be removed.

- `context` Object

  The custom object passed to subscribe. This is optional, but if supplied will be used to disambiguate multiple listeners that are the same (e.g., you subscribe many object using a function that lives on the prototype)

#### Returns:

EventTarget: the host

### `detachAll`

(

- `type`

)

Inherited from EventTarget: `event-custom/js/event-target.js:469`

Removes all listeners from the specified event. If the event type is not specified, all listeners from all hosted custom events will be removed.

#### Parameters:

- `type` String

  The type, or name of the event

### `dispatch`

() chainable

Inherited from Router: `app/js/router.js:206`

Dispatches to the first route handler that matches the current URL, if any.

If `dispatch()` is called before the `ready` event has fired, it will automatically wait for the `ready` event before dispatching. Otherwise it will dispatch immediately.

### `fire`

(

- `type`
- `arguments`

)
EventTarget

Inherited from EventTarget: `event-custom/js/event-target.js:695`

Fire a custom event by name. The callback functions will be executed from the context specified when the event was created, and with the following parameters.

If the custom event object hasn't been created, then the event hasn't been published and it has no subscribers. For performance sake, we immediate exit in this case. This means the event won't bubble, so if the intention is that a bubble target be notified, the event must be published on this object first.

The first argument is the event type, and any additional arguments are passed to the listeners as parameters. If the first of these is an object literal, and the event is configured to emit an event facade, that object is mixed into the event facade and the facade is provided in place of the original object.

#### Parameters:

- `type` String | Object

  The type of the event, or an object that contains a 'type' property.

- `arguments` Object*

  an arbitrary set of parameters to pass to the handler. If the first of these is an object literal and the event is configured to emit an event facade, the event facade will replace that parameter after the properties the object literal contains are copied to the event facade.

#### Returns:

EventTarget: the event host

### `get`

(

- `name`

)
Any

Inherited from AttributeCore: `attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:353`

Returns the current value of the attribute. If the attribute has been configured with a 'getter' function, this method will delegate to the 'getter' to obtain the value of the attribute.

#### Parameters:

- `name` String

  The name of the attribute. If the value of the attribute is an Object, dot notation can be used to obtain the value of a property of the object (e.g. `get("x.y.z")`)

#### Returns:

Any: The value of the attribute

### `getAttrs`

- `attrs`

)
Object

Inherited from AttributeCore: `attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:762`

The return value is an object containing two properties:

- `node`: A `Y.Node` instance for a document fragment containing the extracted HTML content.

- `title`: The title of the HTML page, if any, extracted using the `titleSelector` attribute (which defaults to looking for a `<title>` element). If `titleSelector` is not set or if a title could not be found, this property will be `undefined`.

#### Returns:

Boolean: `true` if there's at least one matching route, `false` otherwise.

### `init`

(

- `cfg`

### `loadContent`

(

- `req`
- `res`
- `next`

)

Inherited from PjaxContent: `pjax/js/pjax-content.js:83`

Available since 3.7.0

Pjax route middleware to load content from a server. This makes an Ajax request for the requested URL, parses the returned content and puts it on the route's response object.

This is route middleware and not intended to be the final callback for a route. This will add the following information to the route's request and response objects:

- `req.ioURL`: The full URL that was used to make the `Y.io()` XHR. This may contain `"pjax=1"` if the `addPjaxParam` option is set.

- `res.content`: An object containing `node` and `title` properties for the content extracted from the server's response. See `getContent()` for more details.

- `res.ioResponse`: The full `Y.io()` response object. This is useful if you need access to the XHR's response `status` or HTTP headers.

#### Parameters:

- `req` Object

  Request object.

- `res` Object

  Response Object.

- `next` Function

  Function to pass control to the next route callback.

#### Example:

    router.route('/foo/', 'loadContent', function (req, res, next) {
        Y.one('container').setHTML(res.content.node);
        Y.config.doc.title = res.content.title;
    });

### `match`

(

- `path`

)
Object[]

Inherited from Router: `app/js/router.js:267`

Returns an array of route objects that match the specified URL path.

This method is called internally to determine which routes match the current path whenever the URL changes. You may override it if you want to customize the route matching logic, although this usually shouldn't be necessary.

Each returned route object has the following properties:

- `callback`: A function or a string representing the name of a function this router that should be executed when the route is triggered.

- `keys`: An array of strings representing the named parameters defined in the route's path specification, if any.

- `path`: The route's path specification, which may be either a string or a regex.

- `regex`: A regular expression version of the route's path specification. This regex is used to determine whether the route matches a given path.

#### Parameters:

- `path` String

  URL path to match.

#### Returns:

Object[]: Array of route objects that match the specified path.

#### Example:

    router.route('/foo', function () {});
    router.match('/foo');
    // => [{callback: ..., keys: [], path: '/foo', regex: ...}]

### `modifyAttr`

(

- `name`
- `config`

)

Inherited from AttributeExtras: `attribute/js/AttributeExtras.js:40`

Updates the configuration of an attribute which has already been added.

The properties which can be modified through this interface are limited to the following subset of attributes, which can be safely modified after a value has already been set on the attribute: readOnly, writeOnce, broadcast and getter.

#### Parameters:

- `name` String

  The name of the attribute whose configuration is to be updated.

- `config` Object

  An object with configuration property/value pairs, specifying the configuration properties to modify.

### `navigate`

(

- `url`
- `[options]`

)
Boolean

Inherited from PjaxBase: `pjax/js/pjax-base.js:114`

Available since 3.5.0

Navigates to the specified URL if there is a route handler that matches. In browsers capable of using HTML5 history, the navigation will be enhanced by firing the `navigate` event and having the router handle the "request". Non-HTML5 browsers will navigate to the new URL via manipulation of `window.location`.

When there is a route handler for the specified URL and it is being navigated to, this method will return `true`, otherwise it will return `false`.

Note: The specified URL must be of the same origin as the current URL, otherwise an error will be logged and navigation will not occur. This is intended as both a security constraint and a purposely imposed limitation as it does not make sense to tell the router to navigate to a URL on a different scheme, host, or port.

#### Parameters:

- `url` String

  The URL to navigate to. This must be of the same origin as the current URL.

- `[options]` Object optional

  Additional options to configure the navigation. These are mixed into the `navigate` event facade.

  - `[replace]` Boolean optional

    Whether or not the current history entry will be replaced, or a new entry will be created. Will default to `true` if the specified `url` is the same as the current URL.

  - `[force=false]` Boolean optional

    Whether the enhanced navigation should occur even in browsers without HTML5 history.

#### Returns:

Boolean: `true` if the URL was navigated to, `false` otherwise.

### `on`

(

- `type`
- `fn`
- `[context]`
- `[arg*]`

)
EventHandle

Inherited from EventTarget: `event-custom/js/event-target.js:188`

Subscribe a callback function to a custom event fired by this object or from an object that bubbles its events to this object.

Callback functions for events published with `emitFacade = true` will receive an `EventFacade` as the first argument (typically named "e"). These callbacks can then call `e.preventDefault()` to disable the behavior published to that event's `defaultFn`. See the `EventFacade` API for all available properties and methods. Subscribers to non-`emitFacade` events will receive the arguments passed to `fire()` after the event name.

To subscribe to multiple events at once, pass an object as the first argument, where the key:value pairs correspond to the eventName:callback, or pass an array of event names as the first argument to subscribe to all listed events with the same callback.

Returning `false` from a callback is supported as an alternative to calling `e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation();`. However, it is recommended to use the event methods whenever possible.

#### Parameters:

- `type` String

  The name of the event

- `fn` Function

  The callback to execute in response to the event

- `[context]` Object optional

  Override `this` object in callback

- `[arg*]` Any optional

### `replace`

(

- `[url]`

)
chainable

Inherited from Router: `app/js/router.js:337`

Replaces the current browser history entry with a new one, and dispatches to the first matching route handler, if any.

Behind the scenes, this method uses HTML5 `pushState()` in browsers that support it (or the location hash in older browsers and IE) to change the URL.

The specified URL must share the same origin (i.e., protocol, host, and port) as the current page, or an error will occur.

#### Parameters:

- `[url]` String optional

  URL to set. This URL needs to be of the same origin as the current URL. This can be a URL relative to the router's `root` attribute. If no URL is specified, the page's current URL will be used.

#### Example:

    // Starting URL: http://example.com/

    router.replace('/path/');
    // New URL: http://example.com/path/

    router.replace('/path?foo=bar');
    // New URL: http://example.com/path?foo=bar

    router.replace('/');
    // New URL: http://example.com/

### `reset`

(

- `name`

)

Inherited from AttributeExtras: `attribute/js/AttributeExtras.js:89`

Resets the attribute (or all attributes) to its initial value, as long as the attribute is not readOnly, or writeOnce.

#### Parameters:

- `name` String

  Optional. The name of the attribute to reset. If omitted, all attributes are reset.

#### Returns:

Object: A reference to the host object.

### `route`

(

- `path`
- `callbacks`

)
chainable

Inherited from Router: `app/js/router.js:371`

Adds a route handler for the specified URL path.

The path parameter may be either a string or a regular expression. If it's a string, it may contain named parameters: `:param` will match any single part of a URL path (not including `/` characters), and `*param` will match any number of parts of a URL path (including `/` characters). These named parameters will be made available as keys on the `req.params` object that's passed to route handlers.

If the path parameter is a regex, all pattern matches will be made available as numbered keys on `req.params`, starting with `0` for the full match, then `1` for the first subpattern match, and so on.

Here's a set of sample routes along with URL paths that they match:

- Route: `/photos/:tag/:page`

  - URL: `/photos/kittens/1`, params: `{tag: 'kittens', page: '1'}`
  - URL: `/photos/puppies/2`, params: `{tag: 'puppies', page: '2'}`

- Route: `/file/*path`

  - URL: `/file/foo/bar/baz.txt`, params: `{path: 'foo/bar/baz.txt'}`
  - URL: `/file/foo`, params: `{path: 'foo'}`

Middleware: Routes also support an arbitrary number of callback functions. This allows you to easily reuse parts of your route-handling code with different route. This method is liberal in how it processes the specified `callbacks`, you can specify them as separate arguments, or as arrays, or both.

If multiple route match a given URL, they will be executed in the order they were added. The first route that was added will be the first to be executed.

Passing Control: Invoking the `next()` function within a route callback will pass control to the next callback function (if any) or route handler (if any). If a value is passed to `next()`, it's assumed to be an error, therefore stopping the dispatch chain, unless that value is: `"route"`, which is special case and dispatching will skip to the next route handler. This allows middleware to skip any remaining middleware for a particular route.

#### Parameters:

- `path` String | RegExp

  Path to match. May be a string or a regular expression.

- `callbacks` Array | Function | String multiple

  Callback functions to call whenever this route is triggered. These can be specified as separate arguments, or in arrays, or both. If a callback is specified as a string, the named function will be called on this router instance.

  - `req` Object

    Request object containing information about the request. It contains the following properties.

    - `params` Array | Object
      Captured parameters matched by the route path specification. If a string path was used and contained named parameters, then this will be a key/value hash mapping parameter names to their matched values. If a regex path was used, this will be an array of subpattern matches starting at index 0 for the full match, then 1 for the first subpattern match, and so on.
    - `path` String
      The current URL path.
    - `pendingCallbacks` Number
      Number of remaining callbacks the route handler has after this one in the dispatch chain.
    - `pendingRoutes` Number
      Number of matching routes after this one in the dispatch chain.
    - `query` Object
      Query hash representing the URL query string, if any. Parameter names are keys, and are mapped to parameter values.
    - `url` String
      The full URL.
    - `src` String
      What initiated the dispatch. In an HTML5 browser, when the back/forward buttons are used, this property will have a value of "popstate".
  - `res` Object

    Response object containing methods and information that relate to responding to a request. It contains the following properties.

    - `req` Object
      Reference to the request object.
  - `next` Function

    Function to pass control to the next callback or the next matching route if no more callbacks (middleware) exist for the current route handler. If you don't call this function, then no further callbacks or route handlers will be executed, even if there are more that match. If you do call this function, then the next callback (if any) or matching route handler (if any) will be called. All of these functions will receive the same `req` and `res` objects that were passed to this route (so you can use these objects to pass data along to subsequent callbacks and routes).

    - `[err]` String optional
      Optional error which will stop the dispatch chaining for this `req`, unless the value is `"route"`, which is special cased to jump skip past any callbacks for the current route and pass control the next route handler.

#### Example:

    router.route('/photos/:tag/:page', function (req, res, next) {
      Y.log('Current tag: ' + req.params.tag);
      Y.log('Current page number: ' + req.params.page);
    });

    // Using middleware.

    router.findUser = function (req, res, next) {
        req.user = this.get('users').findById(req.params.user);
        next();
    };

    router.route('/users/:user', 'findUser', function (req, res, next) {
        // The findUser middleware puts the user object on the req.
        Y.log('Current user:' req.user.get('name'));
    });

### `save`

(

- `[url]`

)
chainable

Inherited from Router: `app/js/router.js:498`

Saves a new browser history entry and dispatches to the first matching route handler, if any.

Behind the scenes, this method uses HTML5 `pushState()` in browsers that support it (or the location hash in older browsers and IE) to change the URL and create a history entry.

The specified URL must share the same origin (i.e., protocol, host, and port) as the current page, or an error will occur.

#### Parameters:

- `[url]` String optional

  URL to set. This URL needs to be of the same origin as the current URL. This can be a URL relative to the router's `root` attribute. If no URL is specified, the page's current URL will be used.

#### Example:

    // Starting URL: http://example.com/

    router.save('/path/');
    // New URL: http://example.com/path/

    router.save('/path?foo=bar');
    // New URL: http://example.com/path?foo=bar

## Attributes

### `addPjaxParam`

Boolean

Inherited from PjaxContent: `pjax/js/pjax-content.js:204`

Available since 3.5.0

If `true`, a "pjax=1" query parameter will be appended to all URLs requested via Pjax.

Browsers ignore HTTP request headers when caching content, so if the same URL is used to request a partial Pjax page and a full page, the browser will cache them under the same key and may later load the cached partial page when the user actually requests a full page (or vice versa).

To prevent this, we can add a bogus query parameter to the URL so that Pjax URLs will always be cached separately from non-Pjax URLs.

Default: true

#### Fires event `addPjaxParamChange`

Available since 3.5.0

Whether navigating to a hash-fragment identifier on the current page should be enhanced and cause the `navigate` event to fire.

By default Pjax allows the browser to perform its default action when a user is navigating within a page by clicking in-page links (e.g. `<a href="#top">Top of page</a>`) and does not attempt to interfere or enhance in-page navigation.

Default: false

#### Fires event `navigateOnHashChange`

Fires when the value for the configuration attribute `navigateOnHash` is changed. You can listen for the event using the `on` method if you wish to be notified before the attribute's value has changed, or using the `after` method if you wish to be notified after the attribute's value has changed.

  - `prevVal` Any
    The value of the attribute, prior to it being set.
  - `newVal` Any
    The value the attribute is to be set to.
  - `attrName` String
    The name of the attribute being set.
  - `subAttrName` String
    If setting a property within the attribute's value, the name of the sub-attribute property being set.

### `root`

String

Inherited from Router: `app/js/router.js:1336`

Absolute root path from which all routes should be evaluated.

For example, if your router is running on a page at `http://example.com/myapp/` and you add a route with the path `/`, your route will never execute, because the path will always be preceded by `/myapp`. Setting `root` to `/myapp` would cause all routes to be evaluated relative to that root URL, so the `/` route would then execute when the user browses to `http://example.com/myapp/`.

Default: `''`

#### Fires event `rootChange`

Fires when the value for the configuration attribute `root` is changed. You can listen for the event using the `on` method if you wish to be notified before the attribute's value has changed, or using the `after` method if you wish to be notified after the attribute's value has changed.

#### Parameters:

- `e` EventFacade
  An Event Facade object with the following attribute-specific properties added:
  - `prevVal` Any
    The value of the attribute, prior to it being set.
  - `newVal` Any
    The value the attribute is to be set to.
  - `attrName` String
    The name of the attribute being set.
  - `subAttrName` String
    If setting a property within the attribute's value, the name of the sub-attribute property being set.

### `routes`

Object[]

Inherited from Router: `app/js/router.js:1354`

Array of route objects.

Each item in the array must be an object with the following properties:

- `path`: String or regex representing the path to match. See the docs for the `route()` method for more details.

- `callbacks`: Function or a string representing the name of a function on this router instance that should be called when the route is triggered. An array of functions and/or strings may also be provided. See the docs for the `route()` method for more details.

This attribute is intended to be used to set routes at init time, or to completely reset all routes after init. To add routes after init without resetting all existing routes, use the `route()` method.

Default: `[]`

#### Fires event `routesChange`

Fires when the value for the configuration attribute `routes` is changed. You can listen for the event using the `on` method if you wish to be notified before the attribute's value has changed, or using the `after` method if you wish to be notified after the attribute's value has changed.

#### Parameters:

- `e` EventFacade
  An Event Facade object with the following attribute-specific properties added:
  - `prevVal` Any
    The value of the attribute, prior to it being set.
  - `newVal` Any
    The value the attribute is to be set to.

## Events

### `destroy`

Inherited from BaseObservable: `base/js/BaseObservable.js:151`

Lifecycle event for the destroy phase, fired prior to destruction. Invoking the preventDefault method on the event object provided to subscribers will prevent destruction from proceeding.

Subscribers to the "after" moment of this event, will be notified after destruction is complete (and as a result cannot prevent destruction).

#### Event Payload:

- `e` EventFacade

  Event object

### `error`

Inherited from Pjax: `pjax/js/pjax.js:22`

Available since 3.5.0

Fired when an error occurs while attempting to load a URL via Ajax.

#### Event Payload:

- `content` Object

  Content extracted from the response, if any.

  - `node` Node

    A `Y.Node` instance for a document fragment containing the extracted HTML content.

  - `[title]` String optional

    The title of the HTML page, if any, extracted using the `titleSelector` attribute. If `titleSelector` is not set or if a title could not be found, this property will be `undefined`.

- `url` String

  The absolute URL that failed to load.

### `init`

Inherited from BaseObservable: `base/js/BaseObservable.js:62`

Lifecycle event for the init phase, fired prior to initialization. Invoking the preventDefault() method on the event object provided to subscribers will prevent initialization from occuring.

Subscribers to the "after" momemt of this event, will be notified after initialization of the object is complete (and therefore cannot prevent initialization).

#### Event Payload:

- `e` EventFacade

  Event object, with a cfg property which refers to the configuration object passed to the constructor.

### `load`

Inherited from Pjax: `pjax/js/pjax.js:40`

Available since 3.5.0

Fired when a URL is successfully loaded via Ajax.

#### Event Payload:

- `content` Object

  Content extracted from the response, if any.

  - `node` Node

    A `Y.Node` instance for a document fragment containing the extracted HTML content.

  - `[title]` String optional

    The title of the HTML page, if any, extracted using the `titleSelector` attribute. If `titleSelector` is not set or if a title could not be found, this property will be `undefined`.

- `responseText` String

  Raw Ajax response text.

- `status` Number

  HTTP status code for the Ajax response.

- `url` String

  The absolute URL that was loaded.

### `navigate`

Inherited from PjaxBase: `pjax/js/pjax-base.js:16`

Available since 3.5.0

Fired when navigating to a URL via Pjax.

When the `navigate()` method is called or a pjax link is clicked, this event will be fired if the browser supports HTML5 history and the router has a route handler for the specified URL.

This is a useful event to listen to for adding a visual loading indicator while the route handlers are busy handling the URL change.

#### Event Payload:

- `url` String

  The URL that the router will dispatch to its route handlers in order to fulfill the enhanced navigation "request".

- `[force=false]` Boolean optional

  Whether the enhanced navigation should occur even in browsers without HTML5 history.

- `[hash]` String optional

  The hash-fragment (including "#") of the `url`. This will be present when the `url` differs from the current URL only by its hash and `navigateOnHash` has been set to `true`.

- `[originEvent]` Event optional

  The event that caused the navigation. Usually this would be a click event from a "pjax" anchor element.

- `[replace]` Boolean optional

  Whether or not the current history entry will be replaced, or a new entry will be created. Will default to `true` if the specified `url` is the same as the current URL.

### `ready`

Inherited from Router: `app/js/router.js:24`

Fired when the router is ready to begin dispatching to route handlers.

You shouldn't need to wait for this event unless you plan to implement some kind of custom dispatching logic. It's used internally in order to avoid dispatching to an initial route if a browser history change occurs first.

#### Event Payload:

- `dispatched` Boolean

  `true` if routes have already been dispatched (most likely due to a history change).
