Routing System

The routing system is closely integrated with the ShopRenter theme system. A route represents an identifier that determines which subpage we are currently on. This is crucial during theme development as it helps locate the appropriate theme file and modify the layout associated with that route.

Where and How to Use Routes?

1. To determine the current page, you can retrieve it from the ShopRenter.page.route object in ShopRenter.js.

2. Specify which layout corresponds to which route in the settings.json under the layouts property.

3. In the Theme File Editor, locate theme files based on the route. For example, the product/product route corresponds to product/product.tpl.

An exception is the product/list route, which has multiple associated theme files instead of just product/list.tpl:

product/search.tpl	Search results
product/category.tpl	Product list/category page
product/manufacturer.tpl	Product list for a specific manufacturer
product/productspecial.tpl	Special offers list page
product/latestlist.tpl	Newest products list page
