Glossary

The overall state of the router can be mutable (while the user mutates the new desired state and in guards) or immutable (all other times). The state can include a hash table of arguments, which are global arguments of the current state. These can be used at your discretion.

The components that constitute the state form a tree structure in the case of nested navigation. Each node has a name and arguments (usually parameters passed to a screen, like an identifier). At each level, within each list of nodes, the combination of name and arguments must be unique, as this forms the unique key of the node.

A list of possible routes that can be used in the project. The router matches nodes and routes by their names. Routes contain information on how to construct a page for the navigator.
