`routeUrl( hashes... [,merge] )`

Calls url with hashes as its data argument and an optional merge.

This can be used on its own to create <a> hrefs like:

<a href="{{ routeUrl(page='todos' id=todo.id) }}">details</a>

Or in conjunction with other helpers:

{{makeLink( "details", routeUrl(page='todos', true) )}}

`{{routeUrl([merge,] hashes...)}}`

Passes the hashes to route.url and returns the result.

<a href="{{routeUrl(page='todos' id=todo.id)}}">details</a>

merge {Boolean}:
Pass true to create a url that merges hashes into the current can-route properties.
hashes {Hash Expression}:
A hash expression like page='edit' recipeId=id.

{String}:

Returns the result of calling route.url.

Use the routeUrl helper like:

<a href='{{routeUrl(page="recipe" id=5)}}'>{{recipe.name}}</a>

This produces (with no pretty routing rules):

<a href='#!&page=recipe&id=5'>{{recipe.name}}</a>

Using call expressions/parenthesis lets you pass the merge option to route. This lets you write a url that only changes specified properties:

<a href='{{ routeUrl(id=5, true) }}'>{{recipe.name}}</a>

The following demo uses routeUrl and {{#routeCurrent(hash)}} to create links that update can-route’s page attribute:

It also writes out the current url like:

{{ routeUrl(undefined, true) }}

This calls route.url({}, true) which has the effect of writing out the current url.
