Summary

We've learned a lot! First, we talked about how the router does matching. It goes through the provided routes, one by one, checking if the URL starts with a route's path. Then, we learned that the router does not have any notion of specificity. It just traverses the configuration in the depth-first order, and it stops after finding the path matching the whole URL, that is, the order of routes in the configuration matters. After that, we talked about empty-path routes that do not consume any URL segments, and about componentless routes that do not instantiate any components. We showed how we can use them to handle advanced use cases.
