Feature Request: IDOM URL Router

[Archmonger]

Currently it is very awkward to build SPAs within IDOM. There needs to be some kind of URL router construct.

Some client based router like react-router or what nextjs has would be ideal. That would allow for a page refresh or sharing a link to get back to the same viewable state.

The development of this feature is under way. The foundational work has already been completed (i.e. idom.backend.*.use_location hooks). I'd expect that we might have an initial implementation ready to try out before July.

Yes, this one is critical to building SPAs in IDOM, we are using use_state to hide/show components but it's awkward to use

A very early implementation can be found here: https://github.com/idom-team/idom-router

If you decide to use it now, keep in mind that there are probably bugs and there will be upcoming changes the interface.
