get current Route 'url' and 'as' info

[Filipvdb321]

I see that the Router has some properties: pathname, query, ....
Is it possible to expose a method to get the current 'url' and 'as' ?

That way you could for example save this in the state to navigate later to this location with Router.push(url,as);

Or is there already a better way to achieve this functionality?

Check out https://github.com/fridays/next-routes

Then you can reverse it with (url.pathname || Router.route).replace(/^\//, '') and (url.query || Router.query). url refers to the property that page components get and can be used while server rendering.

Currently it's not supported. Not exactly(or just only) these APIs. We should provide some ways to improve this.

This is one step towards that: #1345

Also make sure to look at https://github.com/BDav24/next-url-prettifier

I think it would be great if something like next-routes api wise and next-url-prettifier feature set wise (multi language pretty urls) would be part of the core.

I'm also looking for a way to access as on the client-side. It seems like document.location.pathname and Router.router.as only gets updated after getInitialProps() has finished and the pathname passed in reflects the href value.

Gonna close this since I'm going to close this pretty close: #1843
