Runtime Overview
High-level overview of native history, route matching, guards, and lifecycle hooks.
History++ Vision
History++ explores the idea that browser-native navigation APIs are expressive enough to support structured routing without taking over rendering.
- direct URL-driven UI state
- native back and forward behavior
- route lifecycle hooks
- guarded transitions
- middleware and route matching
Instead of replacing the browser, History++ extends it with a small orchestration layer that lets applications decide how rendering should happen.
Architecture Diagrams
These diagrams explain the internal mental model, navigation flow, and architectural positioning of History++.
Push and Replace
Shows how programmatic navigation creates context, runs middleware, and enters routes.
Entry Sequence
Details the call order for browser history writes and route lifecycle execution.
Back Navigation
Explains how popstate movement triggers return hooks and URL restoration when blocked.
Return Sequence
Shows how onReturn, onExit, onComeback, and onMeet describe back and forward movement.
Router Positioning
History++ stays between browser history and application rendering, coordinating behavior only.
