## Usage
Compass helps you setup a central navigation system for your application.
This has many benefits, one of them being that controllers can now be
decoupled, meaning that the list that presents the detail no longer knows

Maybe it's better to say that you could present any controller from any place in your app. The list and detail are just a specific example.

Oh, you already have a line about that below 😄

about what its presenting. Controllers become agnostic and views stay
stupid. The user experience stays the same but the logic and separation of
concerns become clearer. The outcome is that your application will become
more modular by default. Anything could potentially be presented from
anywhere, but remember, with great power comes great responsibility.

## Setup

#### Step 1
First you need to register a URL scheme for your application
<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hyperoslo/Compass/update/readme/Images/setup-url-scheme.png">

#### Step 2
Now you need to configure Compass to use that URL scheme, a good place
to do this is in your `AppDelegate`
```swift
func application(application: UIApplication,
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
Compass.scheme = "compass"
return true
}
```
#### Step 3
Configure your application routes
```swift
func application(application: UIApplication,
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
Compass.scheme = "compass"
Compass.routes = ["profile:{username}", "login:{username}", "logout"]
return true
}
```
#### Step 4
Setup your application to response to the URLs, this can be done in the `AppDelegate` but its up to you to find a more suitable place for it depending on the size of your implementation.
```swift
func application(app: UIApplication,

I think we have to mention that this func should be used to open a view from outside, but for internal usage it's better to have some global/static function, not to invoke applicationDidBecomeActive every time.

openURL url: NSURL,
options: [String : AnyObject]) -> Bool {
return Compass.parse(url) { route, arguments in
switch route {
case "profile:{username}":
let profileController = profileController(title: arguments["{username}"])
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(profileController,
animated: true)
case "login:{username}":
let loginController = LoginController(title: arguments["{username}"])
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(loginController,
animated: true)
case "logout":
logout()
default: break
}
}
}
```

Setting it up this way would mean that
you could open any view from a push notification depending on the contents of the payload.
Preferably you would add your own global function that you use for internal navigation.

## Compass life hacks

##### Tip 1. NavigationHandler.swift
You could have multiple handlers depending on if a user is logged in or not.
```swift
<API>
import UIKit
import Compass

struct NavigationHandler {
static func routePreLogin(route: String, arguments: [String: String],
navigationController: UINavigationController) {
switch route {
case "forgotpassword:{username}":
let forgotPasswordController = ForgotPasswordController(title: arguments["{username}"])
navigationController?.pushViewController(loginController,
animated: true)
default: break
}
}

static func routePostLogin(route: String, arguments: [String: String],
navigationController: UINavigationController) {
switch route {
case "profile:{username}":
let profileController = ProfileController(title: arguments["{username}"])
navigationController?.pushViewController(profileController,
animated: true)
case "logout":
AppDelegate.logout()
default: break
}
}
}
```

##### Tip 2. Compass.swift
Add your own global function to easily navigate internally
``` swift
import Compass

public func navigate(urn: String) {
let stringURL = "\(Compass.scheme)\(urn)"
guard let appDelegate = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as? ApplicationDelegate,
url = NSURL(string: stringURL) else { return }

appDelegate.handleURL(url)
}
```
