Why would you want to do this? Because you often don't need more. It's nice to not have to think about your "router" as this big special thing.

Instead, with this approch, your app's current pathname is just another piece of state, just like anything else.

This also means that when doing server-side rendering of a redux app, you can just do:

var app = require('your/redux/app')
var React = require('react')

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics

• elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

Design Goals

reduxjs/redux#8 (comment)

The main goal of this library is to prove that Flux can be implemented in a way compatible with full hot reloading (and explore how this can be done). You can run the example code with npm start, change action creators or stores, and the new logic will kick in before you refresh.

Everything I Know About UI Routing

Definitions

1. Location - The location of the application. Usually just a URL, but the location can contain multiple pieces of information that can be used by an app
   1. pathname - The "file/directory" portion of the URL, like invoices/123
   2. search - The stuff after ? in a URL like /assignments?showGrades=1.
   3. query - A parsed version of search, usually an object but not a standard browser feature.
   4. hash - The # portion of the URL. This is not available to servers in request.url so its client only. By default it means which part of the page the user should be scrolled to, but developers use it for various things.
   5. state - Object associated with a location. Think of it like a hidden URL query. It's state you want to keep with a specific location, but you don't want it to be visible in the URL.
