tryRoutingTo

Attempt to navigate internally within this site, or return false if that's not possible (i.e. because the path is external).

By internally, I mean this method expects a route path only -- no https:// origin in other words. "/", "/about", "/help/contact", and "user/123" are valid examples.

You will generally call this method like so:

onClick { evt ->
  if (ctx.router.tryRoutingTo(...)) {
    evt.preventDefault()
  }

That way, either the router handles the navigation or the browser does.

Note that this method will automatically prepend this site's BasePath if it is configured and if pathQueryAndFragment is absolute.

See also: navigateTo, which, if called, handles the external navigation for you.
