Hey, I have a problem with child routing. I would like, for example, when I’m on step 2 or 3 when refreshing the page, go to step 1.

Please, help 🙂

configureRouter(config: RouterConfiguration, router: Router) {  
config.title = “Web”;  
config.map([  
{  
route: [’’, ‘test1’],  
name: “test1”,  
moduleId: PLATFORM.moduleName("…/modules/steps/test1"),  
nav: true,  
title: “Test 1”,  
},  
{  
route: ‘test2’,  
name: “test2”,  
moduleId: PLATFORM.moduleName("…/modules/steps/test2"),  
nav: true,  
title: “Test 2”,  
href: “#/modules/test2”,  
},  
{  
route: 'test3,  
name: “test3”,  
moduleId: PLATFORM.moduleName("…/modules/steps/test3"),  
nav: true,  
title: “Test 3”,  
href: “#/modules/test3”,  
},  
]);  
this.router = router;  
}

I don’t think this is a router problem, or even the problem you describe exists because your steps have routes.

I would either remove the routes and implement code that loads a specific view depending on the step you are currently at (keeping this in memory not persistent storage) or redirect to step 1 if certain data does not exist or check `document.referrer` to see if the previous page was actually a previous step (or get the info from the router). Multiple ways how you could tackle this.

Hope this helps solve your problem.
