Annotation Type RouteAlias

 @Repeatable(value=RouteAlias.Container.class)
public @interface RouteAlias

Defines the route alias for components that function as navigation targets in routing.

The route alias allows declaring several route paths in addition to the path declared by the Route annotation. The component has to have at least one @Route annotation which is considered as a primary route and its route path will be used if Router.getUrl(Class) is called. Thus @RouteAlias route path is used only to resolve the component during navigation.

This annotation can be used multiple times on the same class.
