It would be very helpful if you could test the resulting artifacts from this PR and let us know in a comment if this change resolves your issue. Thank you!

Description

Adds route template support to Shell navigation, enabling {param} path parameters inspired by ASP.NET Core / Blazor routing. This is additive and non-breaking — existing literal routes work identically, and the feature is completely dormant unless you register a route containing {.

Fixes #35107

---

How It Works

Registration

Register a route with {param} segments. Everything inside braces becomes a path parameter:

Routing.RegisterRoute("product/{sku}", typeof(ProductDetailPage));
Routing.RegisterRoute("order/{id:int}", typeof(OrderDetailPage));
Routing.RegisterRoute("review/{stars=5}", typeof(ReviewPage));

XAML works too — { is safe because XAML only interprets markup extensions when { is the first character of the attribute value:

<ShellContent Route="product/{sku}" ContentTemplate="{DataTemplate local:ProductPage}" />

Navigation

Navigate with values in the path instead of query strings:

// Before (query string — still works)
await Shell.Current.GoToAsync("product?sku=seed-tomato");

// After (path parameter)
await Shell.Current.GoToAsync("//products/product/seed-tomato");

Parameter Delivery

Uses existing [QueryProperty] and IQueryAttributable — no new attributes or interfaces needed:

[QueryProperty(nameof(Sku), "sku")]
public class ProductDetailPage : ContentPage
{
    public string Sku { get; set; }  // receives "seed-tomato"
}

Supported Syntax

Syntax	What it does	Example
{sku}	Required parameter	product/{sku} matches product/seed-tomato
{sku?}	Optional (must be last)	product/{sku?} matches product or product/seed-tomato
{stars=5}	Default value when absent	review/{stars=5} → stars is "5" if you navigate to just review
{id:int}	Constraint — rejects non-matching values	order/{id:int} rejects order/abc
{*path}	Catch-all — captures remaining segments (must be last)	files/{*path} → docs/report.pdf
product-{sku}	Mixed — literal around parameter	product-seed-tomato → sku = "seed-tomato"
{id:int=1}	Combined constraint + default	Validates when present, default when absent

Constraints: int, long, double, bool, guid, alpha

Route Matching Precedence

Literals always win over templates (same as ASP.NET Core). Implemented via two-pass matching in FindAndAddSegmentMatch.

Path vs Query String

Path parameters take precedence over query strings with the same name. Both can coexist.

---

How the Implementation Works

Route Registration (Routing.cs)

When RegisterRoute receives a route containing {, it parses a RouteTemplate and stores it in a parallel s_routeTemplates dictionary alongside the existing s_routes entry.

Route Matching (ShellUriHandler.cs, RouteRequestBuilder.cs)

FindAndAddSegmentMatch uses a two-pass approach: pass 0 checks literal routes only (unchanged), pass 1 checks template routes. GetNextSegmentMatch walks template segments in parallel with URI segments, checking type (literal, parameter, optional, catch-all, mixed) and applying constraints. The RouteTemplate is passed directly from the caller to handle CollapsePath prefix stripping.

Parameter Delivery (ShellNavigationManager.cs)

Path parameters are seeded into ShellRouteParameters before SetQueryStringParameters (path wins). Route-prefixed keys are also seeded for intermediate page delivery through Shell's prefix-based ApplyQueryAttributes filtering.

CurrentState.Location (ShellSection.cs, ShellNavigationManager.cs)

Resolved URIs are stored in a separate internal ResolvedRouteProperty on the page. GetNavigationState reads GetResolvedRoute(page) ?? GetRoute(page). The page's Route keeps the template key for factory lookups and stack-reuse comparisons.

---

Migration

None required. To opt in, change your route string to include {param}. Everything else stays the same.

---

Behavior Changes

None for existing apps. All new types are internal. The two-pass matching is a no-op for routes without {. CollapsePath has one new condition that only triggers for {-prefixed segments.

---

Known Limitations

• Relative navigation with template routes not yet supported — use absolute URIs
• All-template routes (no literal prefix) can cause ambiguous matches
• Optional/default with collapsed prefix: navigation succeeds but defaults may not reach the page via prefix filtering

[error] Public API Surface — scope creep — This PR adds 142 public API entries under a brand-new Microsoft.Maui.Navigation namespace (INavigationService, INavigationGraphBuilder, ITabBuilder, INavigationAware, INavigationGuard, INavigationParameters/NavigationParameters, NavigationContext, NavigationResult/NavigationStatus, NavigatingEventArgs/NavigatedEventArgs/NavigationFailedEventArgs, PresentationOptions/Presentation/IPlatformOptions, RouteAttribute/RouteParameterAttribute, TabConfiguration, FakeNavigationService, NavigationMode). None of these types are referenced by any of the Shell route-template code, none are wired into MauiAppBuilder, and the only implementation is FakeNavigationService (a test-double). Per the project's API guidance ("new public APIs have clear use cases — no speculative additions" and "adding members to a public interface is a breaking change"), shipping these as public surface in the same PR as Shell route templates locks design choices that haven't been reviewed. Recommend: pull all src/Core/src/Navigation/*.cs and the corresponding PublicAPI.Unshipped.txt lines out of this PR and ship them as a separate, reviewable proposal — or mark them internal until a real consumer exists.

[MauiBot]

[error] Code style / Build & MSBuild — Lines 192–368 (the entire new GetNextSegmentMatch(string, IDictionary, RouteTemplate) overload plus its single-arg helper at 194–197) are written at column 0 with no leading tabs, while the surrounding class members use one-tab indentation. This will fail dotnet format (and any whitespace check in CI) and makes the new logic visually unreadable next to the original. Re-indent the block (one extra tab inside the class, plus the usual nested levels). The closing brace at line 368 and the trailing blank line at 370 also need to align with the rest of the file.

[MauiBot]

[error] Logic and Correctness / Code style — The if (pathParameters.TryGetValue(seg.Value, out var val)) block has broken indentation: the body opening brace at line 134 and the code at 135–138 sits at the wrong column relative to the if at line 133, and the closing } at 139 doesn't pair visually with anything. The logic appears correct (the braces do pair), but the misalignment looks like a missed merge fix-up and will fail formatting checks. Re-indent so the body is one level deeper than the if.

[MauiBot]

[warning] Logic and Correctness / Regression Prevention — When the existing page in the stack matches the registered template key (e.g. both navigations target product/{sku}), the code calls Routing.SetResolvedRoute(...) but continue;s without re-running ApplyQueryAttributes on the reused page. That means navigating from product/apple → product/banana (or the same template with any new parameter values) reuses the same Page instance with stale [QueryProperty] / IQueryAttributable data — the user sees "apple" while the URL says "banana". The reused-page path further down (around line 421) does call ApplyQueryAttributes and SetResolvedRoute; this fast-path branch needs the same treatment. Add a ShellNavigationManager.ApplyQueryAttributes(_navStack[navIndex], queryData, isLast: i == globalRoutes.Count - 1, isRelativePopping) call before continue. Also add a regression test that navigates twice to the same template with different parameter values and asserts the page received the new sku.

[MauiBot]

[warning] Regression Prevention — The test suite is thorough (1154 lines, 80+ cases) but is missing the single most likely regression scenario for templated routes: two consecutive navigations to the same template with different parameter values (e.g. await shell.GoToAsync("//main/products/product/apple") then await shell.GoToAsync("//main/products/product/banana"), asserting the page reflects sku="banana"). This is the path that hits the reuse branch in ShellSection.PrepareCurrentStackForBeingReplaced (line 370–377) where Routing.GetRoute(_navStack[navIndex]) == globalRoutes[i] is true for any sku. Without this test, the bug flagged above (stale ApplyQueryAttributes on reuse) regresses silently.

[MauiBot]

[warning] Public API / Edge case — ContainsTemplateSyntax returns true for any string containing {. There is no escape syntax ({{ / }}) for embedding a literal { in a route, so Routing.RegisterRoute("foo{bar", ...) will throw ArgumentException from Parse. That may be intentional ({ is reserved) but it isn't documented and there is no test for it. Either (a) document { and } as reserved characters in the XML doc summary on RegisterRoute/RouteTemplate, or (b) treat the segment as literal when IsValidParameterName fails on the inner token. Adding a RegisterRoute_LiteralBraceInRouteThrowsHelpfulError test would lock in whichever choice you pick.

[MauiBot]

[suggestion] Logic and Correctness — int.TryParse(value, out _) and long.TryParse(value, out _) use the current culture and NumberStyles.Integer | AllowLeadingSign | AllowLeadingWhite | AllowTrailingWhite. Route values come from URIs, which should be culture-invariant and reject whitespace/sign tricks like " 5 " or "+5". Recommend int.TryParse(value, NumberStyles.Integer, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, out _) (and NumberStyles.None if you want strict digits-only) for int, long. For bool and guid, the current methods are already culture-independent.

[MauiBot]

[suggestion] Complexity Reduction — The else if (next != null && RouteTemplate.IsTemplateSegment(split)) fallback branch (lines 319–331) tests whether the URI segment from the user's nav request (split) literally contains a {...} token. End-user nav URIs don't contain {sku} literals — they contain concrete values like seed-tomato. Confirm with a coverage run whether this branch is ever taken; if not, delete it. If it is taken (e.g. via some internal nav path that re-feeds template strings as URIs), document the scenario in a comment so future readers know.

[MauiBot]

[suggestion] Public API consistency — GoBackAsync raises Navigated but never raises Navigating (and never honours NavigatingEventArgs.Cancel). NavigateAsync raises both and supports cancel. Tests written against the fake will not catch a real-service bug where a back-navigation is supposed to be cancellable via Navigating.Cancel = true. Either raise Navigating here too (matching NavigateAsync), or document that the fake intentionally skips it.

[MauiBot]

[suggestion] PR scoping — The Sandbox sample is being repurposed into a route-template demo (product/{sku}, review/{stars=5}, order/{orderId:int}, plus 5 new *Page.xaml files and a rewritten MainPage). Sandbox is a shared developer test bed used by everyone working on MAUI; permanently dedicating it to one feature's demo is unusual. Consider either (a) moving these pages into a dedicated sample under src/Controls/samples/Controls.Sample or Controls.Sample.Maui so other developers' sandbox state isn't disrupted, or (b) confirming with the team that this repurposing is intentional. At minimum, ensure App.xaml.cs change at line 2 is intentional and not leftover scratch state.

Expert Review — 2 findings

See inline comments for details.

[MauiBot]

[major] Navigation & Shell — This assumes prefix-filtered keys will deliver path parameters to intermediate pages, but ApplyQueryAttributes only forwards filtered values for ShellContent/BaseShellItem or the last item. A non-last global-route Page created by ShellSection.GetOrCreateFromRoute (for example product/{sku} before review) is a plain Page, so its [QueryProperty]/IQueryAttributable values are skipped and ProductPage.Sku remains unset. Reapply query attributes directly to each global-route page using that route's own captures, or extend ApplyQueryAttributes to handle non-last Page instances.

[MauiBot]

[major] Navigation & Shell — Route-prefixed keys are derived from the merged request-level PathParameters dictionary, which has already lost which route captured each value. With chained templates like a/{id} followed by b/{id}, the flat dictionary contains only one id value, so both a/{id}.id and b/{id}.id can be seeded with the innermost value. Keep captures per GlobalRouteMatch/resolved route, or emit prefixed keys when each route is matched, so each intermediate page receives its own route value.

🤖 Automated review — alternative fix proposed

The expert-reviewer evaluation compared the PR fix against #2 automatically generated candidates and selected try-fix-2 as the strongest fix.

Why: try-fix-2 is the smallest regression-passing candidate that fixes the PR's route-capture correctness bugs: intermediate page delivery, repeated parameter-name corruption, and mixed-segment crashes. It preserves the existing flat transport shape while adding route-position scoping, making it lower risk than broader structural alternatives.

Please consider applying the candidate diff below (or use it as guidance). Once you push an update, this workflow will re-trigger and re-evaluate.
