Using custom hash values with YUI 3.2.0 (dev) History

gistfile1.js

// Using custom hash values with YUI History. Requires the current dev version
// of History from YUI 3.2.0 in git:
// http://github.com/yui/yui3/blob/master/build/history/history.js

YUI().use('history', function (Y) {

// Listen for hash changes.
Y.on('hashchange', function (e) {
  // The event facade (e) contains the following interesting properties:
  // e.oldHash, e.oldUrl, e.newHash, e.newUrl
}, window);

// Change the hash to a custom value.
Y.History.setHash('mynewhash/foo/bar');

// Get the current hash value.
Y.History.getHash(); // => "mynewhash/foo/bar"

// Only caveat: since you're using a custom hash format, you'll have to parse it yourself.
