Save and restore route state

[vezwork]

I am looking for a way to save and restore the state of a route -- i.e. save and restore the instance of a svelte component at a route, automatically (without having to create a store). For example, consider the situation where I navigate to a page with the url /chooseDogBreed and on that page I can select one of a few dog breeds, and my selection is saved to a variable called favoriteDogBreed inside the svelte component for that route. Next, I would like to navigate to another route (doesn't matter which), and then return to /chooseDogBreed but using the previously created instance of the svelte component for that route so that my variable(s) states are saved, e.g. favoriteDogBreed is still set to my choice.

I do not think this is currently possible using the routify API, but please correct if I am wrong. If I am right, I would like help finding the part of the routify source code that handles constructing the svelte component at the current route. I may be interested in forking routify to make this functionality possible.

Thanks for taking a look!

I don't believe there is a way to restore route state like this, the best way would be to use a store if you are running it in SPA (by default). @jakobrosenberg might have some more insight into this

This is possible, but still in experimental stages. Are you still looking for this?

@jakobrosenberg this is fantastic to hear. I am definitely still looking for this. I am not actively working on this functionality but would love to have it.

Is there a way I can try the experimental functionality or track its progress? It would be cool if I could be involved somehow or just try it out and provide feedback (if that would help your progress).

It looks like this issue is related #399?
