public static final String NAMING_CONVENTION
```
- Element Detail
  - value
```
public abstract String value
```
    Gets the route path value of the annotated class.
    If no value is provided, the path will be derived from the class name of the component. The derived name will be in lower case and trailing "View" will be removed. Also, MainView or Main names will be mapped to root (value will be "").
    
    Note for framework developers: do not use the value directly, but use the helper method Router.resolve(Class, Route), so that naming convention based values are dealt correctly.
    
    Returns:
    
    the explicit path value of this route
    
    Default:
    
    "___NAMING_CONVENTION___"
- - layout
```
public abstract Class<? extends RouterLayout> layout
```
    Sets the parent component for the route target component.
    When navigating between components that use the same layout, the same component instance is reused. Default layout target is the UI, but the layout should not be a custom UI as UI is a special class used to know where the route stack ends and no parent layouts should be involved.
    All layout stacks will be appended to the UI as it represents the Body element.
    
    Returns:
    
    the layout component class used by the route target component.

- - absolute
```
public abstract boolean absolute
```
    Have the rout chain break on defined class and not take into notice any more parent layout route prefixes.
    
    Returns:
    
    route up to here should be absolute
    
    Default:
    
    false
