If your plugin needs more than one page, you implement routing inside your root component. The shell doesn’t impose a router — you match the current path and render the appropriate page.

​
How Routing Works

When your plugin is active, the shell’s URL path looks like: 
/plugins/{your-plugin-id}/overview
/plugins/{your-plugin-id}/roster
/plugins/{your-plugin-id}/roster/pilot-123
Your root component reads the current path, strips the plugin prefix, and renders the matching page.

​
Basic Router Pattern

import { usePluginContext } from "@skyvexsoftware/stratos-sdk";
import OverviewPage from "./pages/OverviewPage";
import RosterPage from "./pages/RosterPage";
import PilotDetailPage from "./pages/PilotDetailPage";

function useSubPath(): string {
  const ctx = usePluginContext();
  const fullPath = ctx.navigation.getCurrentPath();
  const prefix = `/plugins/${ctx.pluginId}/`;
  return fullPath.startsWith(prefix) ? fullPath.slice(prefix.length) : "";
}

function Router() {
  const subPath = useSubPath() || "overview";

  // Dynamic routes — match before static routes
  const pilotMatch = subPath.match(/^roster\/(.+)$/);
  if (pilotMatch) return <PilotDetailPage pilotId={pilotMatch[1]} />;

  // Static routes
  if (subPath === "roster") return <RosterPage />;
  return <OverviewPage />;
}

export default function MyPlugin() {
  return <Router />;
}
Use useShellNavigation() to navigate between sub-pages: 
import { useShellNavigation } from "@skyvexsoftware/stratos-sdk";

function OverviewPage() {
  const nav = useShellNavigation();

  return (
    <button onClick={() => nav.navigateTo("roster")}>
      View Roster
    </button>
  );
}

const nav = useShellNavigation();

// Navigate within your plugin (relative path)
nav.navigateTo("roster");
nav.navigateTo("roster/pilot-123");

// Navigate to another plugin
nav.navigateToPlugin("flight-tracking", "history");

// Navigate to a shell page
nav.navigateToShell("settings");

// Read the current full path
const path = nav.getCurrentPath();

​
Reading Route Params

For dynamic segments, extract params yourself from the sub-path: 
function useSubPath(): string {
  const ctx = usePluginContext();
  const fullPath = ctx.navigation.getCurrentPath();
  const prefix = `/plugins/${ctx.pluginId}/`;
  return fullPath.startsWith(prefix) ? fullPath.slice(prefix.length) : "";
}

function PilotDetailPage() {
  const subPath = useSubPath();
  // subPath === "roster/pilot-abc-123"
  const pilotId = subPath.split("/")[1];

  // fetch pilot by pilotId...
}
Or parse it at the router level and pass as props: 
function Router() {
  const subPath = useSubPath() || "overview";

  const pilotMatch = subPath.match(/^roster\/(.+)$/);
  if (pilotMatch) {
    return <PilotDetailPage pilotId={pilotMatch[1]} />;
  }

  if (subPath === "roster") return <RosterPage />;
  return <OverviewPage />;
}
