##&lt;iron-page-url&gt;



The `iron-page-url` element manages binding to and from the current URL.

iron-page-url is the first, and lowest level element in the Polymer team's
routing system. This is a beta release of iron-page-url as we continue work
on higher level elements, and as such iron-page-url may undergo breaking
changes.

#### Properties

When the URL is: `/search?query=583#details` iron-page-url's properties will be:

  - path: `'/search'`
  - query: `'query=583'`
  - hash: `'details'`

These bindings are bidirectional. Modifying them will in turn modify the URL.

iron-page-url is only active while it is attached to the document.

#### Links

While iron-page-url is active in the document it will intercept clicks on links
within your site, updating the URL pushing the updated URL out through the
databinding system. iron-page-url only intercepts clicks with the intent to
open in the same window, so middle mouse clicks and ctrl/cmd clicks work fine.

You can customize this behavior with the `urlSpaceRegex`.

#### Dwell Time

iron-page-url protects against accidental history spamming by only adding
entries to the user's history if the URL stays unchanged for `dwellTime`
milliseconds.
