Unable to generate url for abstract routes about cherrytree HOT 4 CLOSED

By design. You can't instantiate an abstract class in OOP, right? same thing.

You are overthinking it. Try:

  route('colors', {path: '/colors', routeClass: ColorsIndexRoute}, function () {
    route('colors.new', {path: 'new', routeClass: ColorsCreateRoute});  
  })

btw routeClass is probably a react-cherrytree thing, it's not core to cherrytree. But my solution still applies. We have a navigation bar in a knockout-based application, and it marks it active by looking for the colors named route in any of the routes in router.state.routes.

The abstract route is the only primitive provided by cherrytree to create a index route similar to what ember provides, as pointed in the docs, if there's another way i'll be glad use it

 route('colors', {path: '/colors', routeClass: ColorsIndexRoute}, function () {
    route('colors.new', {path: 'new', routeClass: ColorsCreateRoute});  
  })

It will not work because ColorsCreateRoute will become child of ColorsIndexRoute when its a sibling

The colors route has an outlet element (similar to Ember outlet or VueRouter router-view) where the children is rendered

something like

<div>
<h1>Colors<h1>
  <div class="outlet"></div> //-> here colors.index or colors.new or colors.show are rendered
</div>

OK I see the use case - there is a common shell for each of the children, but you can't route to that shell you need to pick a sibling.

Sorry I missed the issue when you originally posted!

Hm, interesting problem, I guess a ~dirty workaround is to just do something like router.isActive(route.replace('.index', '').replace('index', 'app')). Which is kind of semantically correct - if you wanted to know if 'books.index' is active, you'd do isActive('books.index'), but you want to know if 'books' is active, so you need to do isActive('books').

I'll look over your PR and the other issue now.
