Re: Reverse routing syntax

You cant pass properties, and not use them in the router, and then
expect it to find them magically. The router parses the current URL in
the address bar and uses those values to pass into the action, unless
you have defined a route that matches and has static properties. You
either need to rethink your strategy, or use URL slugs.
