Routing cycle

As soon as the Router calls the route component listener, the latter mounts the slot in a child div element.

In this stage there is the mount cycle of riot.

Just after this the div element is set with display: none until the loading is complete, so you should consider this in any operation started in the mount cycle.

Now is dispatched the "beforeroute" event in every newly created element.

The route now is waiting all the need-loading elements to fire the "load" event.

When all they are done, it will dispatch the "unroute" event to the previous route - if any - and then unmounted it.

Now the div element containing the slot is set with display: block and is dispatched the event "route".

Following a more concise explanation:

• currentRoute.mount()
• display: none
• currentRoute.dispatchToChildren("beforeroute")
• waiting "load" from need-loading elements
• previousRoute.dispatchToChildren("unroute")
• previousRoute.unmount()
• display: block
• currentRoute.dispatchToChildren("route")
