Consider new name

[meeroslav]

The current name angular-routing is too similar to @angular/router. This would lead to confusion. Additionally, the name is too generic leading to difficulty when using search engines (searching for angular routing would most likely point to numerous articles and docs on @angular/router).

Let's try to brainstorm here possible names in the following format.

Suggested name: FooBar Explanation(if needed): Foo is to angular was Bar is to routing

[meeroslav]

Let me start with:

Suggested name: Routek Explanation: Play on words: Router + Tech

Suggested name: Transporter Explanation: Transports application from one route to another

Suggested name: Trasa Explanation: Trasa stands for Route in multiple Slavic languages (Slovak, Serbian, Czech, Polish, Croatian...)

Suggested name: Vessel Explanation: Transporting application from one route to another

[mhartington]

@ngx/rooter 😬

[joelhooks]

angular-declarative-rout[er|ing] or something similar is considerably less confusing on all fronts than some randomly plucked or clever word.

I think the current name is fine though 😅

[brandonroberts]

@joelhooks I like the current name also, but its overloaded with existing Angular Router concepts like a "Routing Module".

[meeroslav]

Any name would stick after a while. I would personally choose something that's easy to pronounce and unique enough for easy googling.

Unfortunately "router" is already taken.

[tysiachnyi]

Suggested name: Road Explanation: helps to get to the right place

[LayZeeDK]

Suggested name: Cowpath Explanation: Paving the cowpath where the Angular Router doesn't.

[LayZeeDK]

Suggested name: Component Router Explanation: None needed

[maartentibau]

Suggested names: AppRouter / NavRouter / RootRouter / Intersection Explanation: Should explain itself

[brandonroberts]

Suggested name: Component Router Explanation: None needed

I do like @angular-component/router or @angular-component/rooter

[meeroslav]

Suggested name: Road

Explanation: helps to get to the right place

I had an idea for skylines/airlines. Could use rocket emoji.

Thanks for a reminder.

[lacolaco]

Suggested name: Station Explanations: it welcomes passengers and delivers them to destinations.

[maartentibau]

Suggested name: Routable Explanation: 🗺

[kievsash]

angular-template-router angular-template-driven-router

[JohannesHoppe]

Suggested name: ngx-pathfinder 🚀 angular-pathfinder (since you don't like the ngx prefix that much)

Explanation: A person who goes ahead and discovers or shows others a path or way. A router only gives you the direction. But a pathfinder actively supports you.

[KevTale]

Suggested name: Component Router Explanation: None needed

This! And even better : @angular-component/router as @brandonroberts suggested. This namespace will allow further component-related library ( @angular-component/forms ...)

@angular-component/store? 😉

[fxck]

is it on npm yet, or I started installing at the wrongest of times? :)

[meeroslav]

@fxck Not yet, please use the old algular-routing. We will roll the new name with the next version.

[fxck]

when might that be @meeroslav ?

[brandonroberts]

@fxck @angular-component/router is published to npm as version 0.4.0

If you are migrating from angular-routing make sure you change the RoutingModule to ComponentRouterModule.
