Support redirection? about page.js HOT 5 CLOSED

page.replace() should work fine for this if you dont want it in the history since the user didn't navigate there

from page.js.

Hi, I may miss something. Please forgive me if I am wrong.
My problem is

page('/default', function(context, next){
    console.log('Default');
})
page('/', function(context, next){
    // redirect to '/default'
    page('/default');
})
page();

I expect that will finally print 'Default' and Url changed to '/default'

But I found:

1. page();
2. call page.start();
3. call page.replace(location.pathname + location.search);

Let say location.pathname + location.search = '/'

1. page.replace create ctx and ctx.canonicalPath= '/'
2. page.replace call page.dispatch in https://github.com/visionmedia/page.js/blob/master/index.js#L143
3. page.dispatch call my own redirect code (which expect page('/default') can redirect the url)
4. page('/default') redirect URL to '/default'

However, after https://github.com/visionmedia/page.js/blob/master/index.js#L143

1. call ctx.save()
2. that ctx.canonicalPath= '/'
3. ctx.save() call history.replaceState
4. replaceState replace '/default' back to '/''

Don't know whether it is a feature or we should have some other code to do redirection?

from page.js.

ah yeah I remember now the deferred ctx.save(). We need a flag to indicate that we shouldn't save if page() has been called in the same tick or something, I'll take a look, for now you can just defer with setTimeout 0 or setImmediate and it'll work fine

Already flip them in here ericfong@6a920fd

But I don't think I have consider all situations, so I just keep it in my own repo.
