Fix link + docs (#2476)
* Fix a copy/paste fail Also, fix some incorrect tests. * Clarify how routes are diffed, improve key + route resolver docs - Add some missing links to route resolvers and single-child keyed fragments, clarify usage around them. - Drive-by: remove a redundant sentence that itself was missing a period. * Actually test for propagation and preventDefault Previously, the mocks were both junk and inaccurate. No wonder my tests were silently failing - they were wrong and not obviously wrong.

Also, you might want to reinitialize a component. You can use the common pattern of a single-child keyed fragment where you change the key to destroy and reinitialize the element.

You can also bind it to a known identity, for things like item views where you need to fetch a remote resource based on an ID. It's usually simpler than implementing all the logic to diff the ID and re-fetch a resource if it changes.

function Page() {

When using components, you could think of them as special sugar for this route resolver, assuming your component is `Home`:

##### routeResolver.onmatch
|

|

The `onmatch` hook is called when the router needs to find a component to render. It is called once per router path changes, but not on subsequent redraws while on the same path. It can be used to run logic before a component initializes (for example authentication logic, data preloading, redirection analytics tracking, etc)

The `render` method is called on every redraw for a matching route. It is similar to the `view` method in components and it exists to simplify [component composition](#wrapping-a-layout-component). It also lets you escape from Mithril's normal behavior of replacing the entire subtree.

|

|

The `vnode` parameter is just `m(Component, m.route.param())` where `Component` is the resolved component for the route (after `routeResolver.onmatch`) and `m.route.param()` is as documented [here](#mrouteparam). If you omit this method, the default return value is `[vnode]`, wrapped in a fragment so you can use [key parameters](#key-parameter). Combined with a `:key` parameter, it becomes a [single-element keyed fragment](keys.md#single-child-keyed-fragments), since it ends up rendering to something like `[m(Component, {key: m.route.param("key"), ...})]`.

When navigating between routes, the router prefix is handled for you. In other words, leave out the hashbang `#!` (or whatever prefix you set `m.route.prefix` to) when linking Mithril routes, including in both `m.route.set` and in `m.route.Link`.
