How to trigger route change with javascript code

[leapon]

@damir Thanks! that works!

goNext: function(event) {
  console.log('go to page2');
  var f7View = this.$root.$children[0].$children[0].$children[0].f7View;
  console.log('>>> f7View:', f7View);
  f7View.loadPage('/page2/');
}

Each F7View component has a router under f7View.router property.

You can access it from your main component with $children[0].$children[0].f7View.router and then save it somewhere with friendlier name.

That does indeed seem to work, but can someone explain the logic behind the long string of children? What exactly are those pointing to? I would expect root > app(child) > views(child) > f7view, but that'd be two children, which is incorrect.

Yeah, that certainly is not the most intuitive way to access views / the router. As of this PR, it is now possible to do something like this instead:

this.$f7['mainView'].loadPage('/page2/')

Ah, thanks. That's much better!
