Is there a way to hide routes in index.html? #30

Hi @erikringsmuth,

This app-router is awesome. However I just want to ask if there's a way to hide the routes inside index.html. The routes are exposed when inspecting the code.

Sample of exposed routes

Thanks.

A week ago I would have said it would be possible, but then I started working on core-animated-pages support.

core-animated-pages extends core-selector. https://www.polymer-project.org/docs/elements/core-elements.html#core-selector

<core-selector selected="0">
  <div>Item 1</div>
  <div>Item 2</div>
  <div>Item 3</div>
</core-selector>

Now imagine the core-selector is the app-router / core-animated-pages and each div is a page (app-route).

I really wish core-selector wasn't the underlying component of core-animated-pages. It forces your HTML into a specific structure to get animations. This layout is what prevents hiding the app-routes.

I'm closing this as there really isn't any way to hide routes unless you use a pure JS router. That may be the way things go if Polymer ends up adopting ES6 modules in the end. We'll have to wait and see.
