 ## Project Overview
 
-The Odoo Web Library (OWL) is a small
-UI framework intended to be the basis for the [Odoo](https://www.odoo.com/) Web Client, and hopefully many
-other Odoo related projects. OWL's main feature is a _declarative component system_, with QWeb as a template engine, asynchronous rendering, and an underlying virtual dom.

-## OWL's Design Principles
+Owl components are defined with ES6 classes, they use QWeb templates, an underlying
+virtual dom, integrates beautifully with hooks, and the rendering is asynchronous.
+
+**Try it online!** An online playground is available at [https://odoo.github.io/owl/playground](https://odoo.github.io/owl/playground) to let you experiment with the Owl framework. There
+are some code examples to showcase some interesting features.
+
+## Example
+
+Here is a short example to illustrate interactive components:
+
+```javascript
+import { Component, QWeb, useState } from "owl";
+import { xml } from "owl/tags";
+
+class Counter extends Component {
+  static template = xml`
+    <button t-on-click="increment">
+      Click Me! [<t t-esc="state.value"/>]
+    </button>`;
+
+  state = useState({ value: 0 });
+
+  increment() {
+    this.state.value++;
+  }
+}
+
+class App extends Component {
+  static template = xml`
+    <div>
+      <span>Hello Owl</span>
+      <Counter />
+    </div>`;
+
+  static components = { Counter };
+}
+
+const app = new App({ qweb: new QWeb() });
+app.mount(document.body);
+```
+
+Note that the counter component is made reactive with the [`useState`](doc/hooks.md#usestate)
+hook. Also, all examples here uses the `xml` helper to define inline templates.
+But this is not mandatory, many applications will load templates separately.
+
+More interesting examples can be found on the
+[playground](https://odoo.github.io/owl/playground) application.

+## Quick Overview

+Owl components in an application are used to define a (dynamic) tree of components.

-Submit a PR!
+**Environment:** the root component is special: it is created with an environment,
+which should contain a `QWeb` instance. The environment is then automatically
+propagated to each sub components (and accessible in the `this.env` property).
+
+```js
+const env = { qweb: new QWeb() };
+const app = new App(env);
+app.mount(document.body);
+```
+
+The environment is mostly static. Each application is free to add anything to
+the environment, which is very useful, since this can be accessed by each sub
+component. Some good use case for that is some configuration keys, session
+information or generic services (such as doing rpcs, or accessing local storage).
+Doing it this way means that components are easily testable: we can simply
+create a test environment with mock services.
+
+**State:** each component can manage its own local state. It is a simple ES6
+class, there are no special rules:
+
+```js
+class Counter extends Component {
+  static template = xml`
+    <button t-on-click="increment">
+      Click Me! [<t t-esc="state.value"/>]
+    </button>`;
+
+  state = { value: 0 };
+
+  increment() {
+    this.state.value++;
+    this.render();
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The example above shows a component with a local state. Note that since there
+is nothing magical to the `state` object, we need to manually call the `render`
+function whenever we update it. This can quickly become annoying (and not
+efficient if we do it too much). There is a better way: using the `useState`
+hook, which transforms an object into a reactive version of itself:
+
+```js
+const { useState } = owl.hooks;
+
+class Counter extends Component {
+  static template = xml`
+    <button t-on-click="increment">
+      Click Me! [<t t-esc="state.value"/>]
+    </button>`;
+
+  state = useState({ value: 0 });
+
+  increment() {
+    this.state.value++;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Props:** sub components often needs some information from their parents. This
+is done by adding the required information to the template. This will then be
+accessible by the sub component in the `props` object. Note that there is an
+important rule here: the information contained in the `props` object is not
+owned by the sub component, and should never be modified.
+
+```js
+class Child extends Component {
+  static template = xml`<div>Hello <t t-esc="props.name"/></div>`;
+}
+
+class Parent extends Component {
+  static template = xml`
+    <div>
+        <Child name="'Owl'" />
+        <Child name="'Framework'" />
+    </div>`;
+  static components = { Child };
+}
+```
+
+**Communication:** there are multiple ways to communicate information between
+components. However, the two most important ways are the following:
+
+- from parent to children: by using `props`,
+- from a children to one of its parent: by triggering events.
+
+The following example illustrate both mechanisms:
+
+```js
+class OrderLine extends Component {
+  static template = xml`
+    <div t-on-click="add">
+        <div><t t-esc="props.line.name"/></div>
+        <div>Quantity: <t t-esc="props.line.quantity"/></div>
+    </div>`;
+
+  add() {
+    this.trigger("add-to-order", { line: props.line });
+  }
+}
+
+class Parent extends Component {
+  static template = xml`
+    <div t-on-add-to-order="addToOrder">
+        <OrderLine
+            t-foreach="orders"
+            t-as="line"
+            line="line" />
+    </div>`;
+  static components = { OrderLine };
+  orders = useState([{ id: 1, name: "Coffee", quantity: 0 }, { id: 2, name: "Tea", quantity: 0 }]);
+
+  addToOrder(event) {
+    const line = event.detail.line;
+    line.quantity++;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+In this example, the `OrderLine` component trigger a `add-to-order` event. This
+will generate a DOM event which will bubble along the DOM tree. It will then be
+intercepted by the parent component, which will then get the line (from the
+`detail` key) and then increment its quantity. See the section on [event handling](doc/component.md#event-handling)
+for more details on how events work.
+
+Note that this example would have also worked if the `OrderLine` component
+directly modifies the `line` object. However, this is not a good practice: this
+only works because the `props` object received by the child component is reactive,
+so the child component is then coupled to the parents implementation.

+### Functional Components
+
+Owl does not exactly have functional components. However, there is an extremely
+close alternative: calling sub templates.
+
+A stateless functional component in react is usually some kind of function that
+maps props to a virtual dom (often with `jsx`). So, basically, almost like a
+template rendered with `props`. In Owl, this can be done by
+simply defining a template, that will access the `props` object:
+
+```js
+const Welcome = xml`<h1>Hello, {props.name}</h1>`;
+
+class MyComponent extends Component {
+  static template = xml`
+        <div>
+            <t t-call=${Welcome}/>
+            <div>something</div>
+        </div>
+    `;

+The way this works is that sub templates are inlined, and have access to the

+caller component.
+
+### SVG Components
+
+Owl components can be used to generate dynamic SVG graphs:
+
+```js

+  static template = xml`
+        <g>
+            <circle t-att-cx="props.x" t-att-cy="props.y" r="4" fill="black"/>
+            <text t-att-x="props.x - 5" t-att-y="props.y + 18"><t t-esc="props.node.label"/></text>
+            <t t-set="childx" t-value="props.x + 100"/>
+            <t t-set="height" t-value="props.height/(props.node.children || []).length"/>
+            <t t-foreach="props.node.children || []" t-as="child">
+                <t t-set="childy" t-value="props.y + child_index*height"/>

+                <Node x="childx" y="childy" node="child" height="height"/>
+            </t>
+        </g>
+    `;
+  static components = { Node };
+}
+
+class RootNode extends Component {
+  static template = xml`
+        <svg height="180">
+            <Node node="graph" x="10" y="20" height="180"/>
+        </svg>

+  static components = { Node };
+  graph = {
+    label: "a",
+    children: [
+      { label: "b" },

+      { label: "f", children: [{ label: "g" }] }
+    ]
+  };
+}
+```
+
+This `RootNode` component will then display a live SVG representation of the
+graph described by the `graph` property. Note that there is a recursive structure
+here: the `Node` component uses itself as a subcomponent.
+
+Note that since SVG needs to be handled in a specific way (its namespace needs
+to be properly set), there is a small constraint for Owl components: if an owl
+component is supposed to be a part of an svg graph, then its root node needs to
+be a `g` tag, so Owl can properly set the namespace.

+
+## Overview
+
+The `Context` object provides a way to share data between an arbitrary number
+of component. Usually, data is passed from a parent to its children component,
+but when we have to deal with some mostly global information, this can be
+annoying, since each component will need to pass the information to each children,
+even though some or most of them will not use the information.
+
+With a `Context` object, each component can subscribe (with the `useContext` hook)
+to its state, and will be updated whenever the context state is updated.
+
+## Example
+
+Assume that we have an application with various components which needs to render
+differently depending on the size of the device. Here is how we could proceed
+to make sure that the information is properly shared. First, let us create a
+context, and add it to the environment:
+
+```js
+const deviceContext = new Context({ isMobile: true });
+const env = {
+  qweb: new QWeb(TEMPLATES),
+  deviceContext
+};
+```
+
+If we want to make it completely responsive, we need to update its value whenever
+the size of the screen is updated:
+
+```js
+const isMobile = () => window.innerWidth <= 768;
+window.addEventListener(
+  "resize",
+  owl.utils.debounce(() => {
+    const state = deviceContext.state;
+    if (state.isMobile !== isMobile()) {
+      state.isMobile = !state.isMobile;
+    }
+  }, 15)
+);
+```
+
+Then, each component that want can subscribe and render differently depending on the
+fact that we are in a mobile or desktop mode.
+
+```js
+class SomeComponent extends Component {
+  static template = xml`
+        <div>
+          <t t-if=device.isMobile>
+             some simplified user interface
+          </t>
+          <t t-else="1">
+             some more sopthisticated user interface
+          </t>
+    `;
+  device = useContext(this.env.deviceContext);
+}
+```
+
+## Reference
+
+### `Context`
+
+A `Context` object should be created with a state object:
+
+```js
+const someContext = new Context({ some: "key" });
+```
+
+Its state is now available in the `state` key:
+
+```js
+someContext.state.some = "other key";
+```
+
+This is the way some global code (such as the responsive code above) should
+read and update the context state. However, components should not ever read the
+context state directly from the context, they should instead use the `useContext`
+hook to properly register themselves to state changes.
+
+Note that the `Context` hook is different from the React version. For example,
+there is no concept of provider/consumer. So, the `Context` feature does not
+by itself allow the use of a different context state depending on the component
+place in the component tree. However, this functionality can be obtained, if
+necessary, with the use of sub environment.
+
+### `useContext`
+
+The `useContext` hook is the normal way for a component to register themselve
+to context state changes. The `useContext` method returns the context state:
+
+```js
+device = useContext(this.env.deviceContext);
+```
+
+It is a simple observed state (with an owl `Observer`), which contains the shared
+information.

+
+## Overview
+
+Hooks were popularised by React as a way to solve the following issues:
+
+- help reusing stateful logic between components
+- help organizing code by feature in complex components
+- use state in functional components, without writing a class.
+
+Owl hooks serve the same purpose, except that they work for class components
+(note: React hooks do not work on class components, and maybe because of that,
+there seems to be the misconception that hooks are in opposition to class. This
+is clearly not true, as shown by Owl hooks).
+
+Hooks works beautifully with Owl components: they solve the problems mentioned
+above, and in particular, they are the perfect way to make your component
+reactive.
+
+## Example: mouse position
+
+Here is the classical example of a non trivial hook to track the mouse position.
+
+```js
+const { useState, onMounted, onWillUnmount } = owl.hooks;
+
+// We define here a custom behaviour: this hook tracks the state of the mouse
+// position
+function useMouse() {
+  const position = useState({ x: 0, y: 0 });
+
+  function update(e) {
+    position.x = e.clientX;
+    position.y = e.clientY;
+  }
+  onMounted(() => {
+    window.addEventListener("mousemove", update);
+  });
+  onWillUnmount(() => {
+    window.removeEventListener("mousemove", update);
+  });
+
+  return position;
+}
+
+// Main root component
+class App extends owl.Component {
+  static template = xml`
+    <div t-name="App">
+      <div>Mouse: <t t-esc="mouse.x"/>, <t t-esc="mouse.y"/></div>
+    </div>`;
+
+  // this hooks is bound to the 'mouse' property.
+  mouse = useMouse();
+}
+```
+
+Note that we use the prefix `use` for hooks, just like in React. This is just
+a convention.
+
+## Example: autofocus
+
+Hooks can be combined to create the desired effect. For example, the following
+hook combines the `useRef` hook with the `onPatched` and `onMounted` functions
+to create an easy way to focus an input whenever it appears in the DOM:
+
+```js
+function useAutofocus(name) {
+  let ref = useRef(name);
+  let isInDom = false;
+  function updateFocus() {
+    if (!isInDom && ref.el) {
+      isInDom = true;
+      ref.el.focus();
+    } else if (isInDom && !ref.el) {
+      isInDom = false;
+    }
+  }
+  onPatched(updateFocus);
+  onMounted(updateFocus);
+}
+```
+
+This hook takes the name of a valid `t-ref` directive, which should be present
+in the template. It then checks whenever the component is mounted or patched if
+the reference is not valid, and in this case, it will focus the node element.
+This hook can be used like this:
+
+```js
+class SomeComponent extends Component {
+  static template = xml`
+    <div>
+        <input />
+        <input t-ref="myinput"/>
+    </div>`;
+
+  constructor(...args) {
+    super(...args);
+    useAutofocus("myinput");
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Reference
+
+### One rule
+
+There is only one rule: every hook for a component have to be called in the
+constructor (or in class fields):
+
+```js
+// ok
+class SomeComponent extends Component {
+  state = useState({ value: 0 });
+}
+
+// also ok
+class SomeComponent extends Component {
+  constructor(...args) {
+    super(...args);
+    this.state = useState({ value: 0 });
+  }
+}
+
+// not ok: this is executed after the constructor is called
+class SomeComponent extends Component {
+  async willStart() {
+    this.state = useState({ value: 0 });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Hooks can get a reference to the currently being defined component with the
+`Component.current` static property. This is why they need to be called in the
+constructor.
+
+### `useState`
+
+The `useState` hook is certainly the most important hooks for Owl components:
+this is what enables component to be reactive, to react to state change.
+
+The `useState` hook has to be given an object or an array, and will return
+an observed version of it (using a `Proxy`).
+
+```javascript
+const { useState } = owl.hooks;
+
+class Counter extends owl.Component {
+  static template = xml`
+    <button t-on-click="increment">
+        Click Me! [<t t-esc="state.value"/>]
+    </button>`;
+
+  state = useState({ value: 0 });
+
+  increment() {
+    this.state.value++;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### `onMounted`
+
+`onMounted` is not an user hook, but is a building block designed to help make useful
+abstractions. `onMounted` registers a callback, which will be called when the component
+is mounted (see example on top of this page).
+
+### `onWillUnmount`
+
+`onWillUnmount` is not an user hook, but is a building block designed to help make useful
+abstractions. `onWillUnmount` registers a callback, which will be called when the component
+is unmounted (see example on top of this page).
+
+### `onWillPatch`
+
+`onWillPatch` is not an user hook, but is a building block designed to help make useful
+abstractions. `onWillPatch` registers a callback, which will be called just
+before the component patched.
+
+### `onPatched`
+
+`onPatched` is not an user hook, but is a building block designed to help make useful
+abstractions. `onPatched` registers a callback, which will be called just
+after the component patched.
+
+### `onWillStart`
+
+`onWillStart` is an asynchronous hook. This means that the function registered
+in the hook will be run just before the component is first rendered and can return a
+promise, to express the fact that it is an asynchronous operation.
+
+Note that if there are more than one `onWillStart` registered callback, then they
+will all be run in parallel.
+
+It can be used to load some initial data. For example, the following hook will
+automatically load some data from the server, and return an object that will
+be ready whenever the component is rendered:
+
+```js
+function useLoader() {
+    const component = Component.current;
+    const record = useState({});
+    onWillStart(async () => {
+        const recordId = component.props.id;
+        Object.assign(record, await fetchSomeRecord(recordId));
+    });
+    return record;
+}
+```
+
+Note that this example does not update the record value whenever props are
+updated.  For that situation, we need to use the `onWillUpdateProps` hook.
+
+### `onWillUpdateProps`
+
+Just like `onWillStart`, `onWillUpdateProps` is an asynchronous hook. It is
+designed to be run whenever the component props are updated. This could be
+useful to perform some asynchronous task such as fetching updated data.
+
+```js
+function useLoader() {
+    const component = Component.current;
+    const record = useState({});
+
+    async function updateRecord(id) {
+        Object.assign(record, await fetchSomeRecord(id));
+    }
+
+    onWillStart(() => updateRecord(component.props.id));
+    onWillUpdateProps(nextProps => updateRecord(nextProps.id));
+
+    return record;
+}
+```
+
+Note that if there are more than one `onWillUpdateProps` registered callback,
+then they will all be run in parallel.
+
+### `useContext`
+
+See [`useContext`](context.md#usecontext) for reference documentation.
+
+### `useRef`
+
+The `useRef` hook is useful when we need a way to interact with some inside part
+of a component, rendered by Owl. It can work either on a DOM node, or on a component,
+tagged by the `t-ref` directive:
+
+```xml
+<div>
+    <div t-ref="someDiv"/>
+    <SubComponent t-ref="someComponent"/>
+</div>
+```
+
+In this example, the component will be able to access the `div` and the component
+`SubComponent` using the `useRef` hook:
+
+```js
+class Parent extends Component {
+  subRef = useRef("someComponent");
+  divRef = useRef("someDiv");
+
+  someMethod() {
+    // here, if component is mounted, refs are active:
+    // - this.divRef.el is the div HTMLElement
+    // - this.subRef.comp is the instance of the sub component
+  }
+}
+```
+
+As shown by the example above, html elements are accessed by using the `el`
+key, and components references are accessed with `comp`.
+
+Note: if used on a component, the reference will be set in the `refs`
+variable between `willPatch` and `patched`.
+
+The `t-ref` directive also accepts dynamic values with string interpolation
+(like the [`t-attf-`](qweb.md#dynamic-attributes) and
+`t-component` directives). For example,
+
+```xml
+<div t-ref="component_{{someCondition ? '1' : '2'}}"/>
+```
+
+Here, the references needs to be set like this:
+
+```js
+this.ref1 = useRef("component_1");
+this.ref2 = useRef("component_2");
+```
+
+References are only guaranteed to be active while the parent component is mounted.
+If this is not the case, accessing `el` or `comp` on it will return `null`.
+
+### `useSubEnv`
+
+The environment is sometimes useful to share some common information between
+all components. But sometimes, we want to _scope_ that knowledge to a subtree.
+
+For example, if we have a form view component, maybe we would like to make some
+`model` object available to all sub component, but not to the whole application.
+This is where the `useSubEnv` hook may be useful: it let a component add some
+information to the environment in a way that only the component and its children
+can access it:
+
+```js
+class FormComponent extends Component {
+  constructor(...args) {
+    super(...args);
+    const model = makeModel();
+    useSubEnv({ model });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The `useSubEnv` takes one argument: an object which contains some key/value that
+will be added to the parent environment. Note that it will extend, not replace
+the parent environment. And of course, the parent environment will not be
+affected.
+
+### `useStore`
+
+The `useStore` hook is the entry point for a component to connect to the store.
+See the [store documentation](store.md) for more information.
+
+### `useDispatch`
+
+The `useDispatch` hook is the way for components to get a reference to the store
+`dispatch` function. See the [store documentation](store.md) for more information.
+
+### `useGetters`
+
+The `useGetters` hook is the way for components to get a reference to the store
+getters. See the [store documentation](store.md) for more information.
+
+### Making customized hooks
+
+Hooks are a wonderful way to organize the code of a complex component by feature
+instead of by lifecycle methods.  They are like mixins, except that they can be
+easily composed together.
+
+But, like every good things in life, hooks should be used with moderation. They are
+not the solution to every problem.
+
+- they may be overkill: if your component needs to perform some action specific
+  to him (so, the specific code does not need to be shared), there is nothing
+  wrong with a simple class method:
+
+  ```js
+  // maybe overkill
+  class A extends Component {
+    constructor(...args) {
+        super(...args);
+        useMySpecificHook()
+    }
+  }
+
+  // ok
+  class B extends Component {
+    constructor(...args) {
+        super(...args);
+        this.performSpecificTask()
+    }
+  }
+  ```
+
+  Note that the second solution is easier to extend in sub components.
+
+- they may be harder to test: if a customized hook inject some external side
+  effect dependency, then it is harder to test without doing some non obvious
+  manipulation.  For example, assume that we want to give a reference to a
+  router in a `useRouter` hook. We could do this:
+
+  ```js
+  const router = new Router(...);
+
+  function useRouter() {
+      return router;
+  }
+  ```
+
+  As you can see, this does not *hook* into the internal of the component. It
+  simply returns a global object, which is difficult to mock.
+
+  A better way would be to do something like this: get the reference from the
+  environment.
+
+  ```js
+  function useRouter() {
+      return Component.current.env.router;
+  }
+  ```
+
+  This means that we give control to the application developer to create the
+  router, which is good, so they can set it up, subclass it, ... And then, to
+  test our components, we can just add a mock router in the environment.
+
+Note: the code above makes use of the `Component.current` property. This is the
+way hooks are able to get a reference to the component currently being created.

+## Overview
+
+It is often useful to organize an application around urls. If the application is
+a single page application, then we need a way to manage those urls in the browser.
+This is why there are many different routers for different frameworks. A generic
+router can do the job just fine, but a specialized router for Owl can give a
+better developer experience.
+
+The Owl router support the following features:
+
+- `history` or `hash` mode
+- declarative routes
+- route redirection
+- navigation guards
+- parameterized routes
+- a `<Link/>` component
+- a `<RouteComponent/>` component
+
+Note that it is still in early stage of developments, and there are probably
+still some issues.
+
+## Example
+
+To use the Owl router, there are some steps that needs to be done:
+
+- declare some routes
+- create a router
+- add it to the environment
+
+```js
+async function protectRoute({ env, to }) {
+  if (!env.session.authUser) {
+    env.session.setNextRoute(to.name);
+    return { to: "SIGN_IN" };
+  }
+  return true;
+}
+
+export const ROUTES = [
+  { name: "LANDING", path: "/", component: Landing },
+  { name: "TASK", path: "/tasks/{{id}}", component: Task },
+  { name: "SIGN_UP", path: "/signup", component: SignUp },
+  { name: "SIGN_IN", path: "/signin", component: SignIn },
+  { name: "ADMIN", path: "/admin", component: Admin, beforeRouteEnter: protectRoute },
+  { name: "ACCOUNT", path: "/account", component: Account, beforeRouteEnter: protectRoute },
+  { name: "UNKNOWN", path: "*", redirect: { to: "LANDING" } }
+];
+
+function makeEnvironment() {
+    ...
+    const env = { qweb };
+    env.session = new Session(env);
+    env.router = new owl.router.Router(env, ROUTES);
+    await env.router.start();
+    return env;
+}
+```
+
+Notice that the router needs to be started. This is an asynchronous operation
+because it needs to apply the potential navigation guards on the current route
+(which may or may not mean that the application is redirected to another route).
+
+## Reference
+
+### Route definition
+
+A route need to be defined as an object with the following keys:
+
+- `name` (optional): a (unique) string useful to identify the current route. If not
+  given, it will be assigned an automatic name,
+- `path`: a string describing the url. It can be static: `/admin` or dynamic: `/users/{{id}}`.
+  It also can be `*`, to catch all remaining routes.
+- `component` (optional): an Owl component that will be used by the `t-routecomponent`
+  directive if the route is active
+- `redirect` (optional): should be destination object (with optional keys `path`, `to` and `params`) if given, the application will be redirected to the destination whenever we match this route
+- `beforeRouteEnter`: defines a [navigation guard](#navigation-guards).
+
+### `Router`
+
+The `Router` constructor takes three arguments:
+
+- `env`: a valid environment,
+- a list of routes,
+- an optional object (with the only key `mode` which can be `history` (default
+  value) or `hash`).
+
+```js
+const ROUTES = [...];
+const router = new owl.router.Router(env, ROUTES, {mode: 'history'});
+```
+
+Note that the route are defined in a list, and the order matters: the router
+tries to find a match by going down the list.
+
+The router needs to be added to the environment in the `router` sub key.
+
+Once a router is created, it needs to be started. This is necessary to initialize
+its current state to the current URL (and also, to potentially apply any
+navigation guards and/or redirecting).
+
+```js
+await router.start();
+```
+
+Once started, the router will keep track of the current url and reflect its
+value in two keys:
+
+- `router.currentRoute`
+- `router.currentParams`
+
+The router also has a `navigate` method, useful to programmatically change the
+application to another state (and the url):
+
+```js
+router.navigate({ to: "USER", params: { id: 51 } });
+```
+
+### Navigation Guards
+
+Navigation guards are very useful to be able to execute some business logic/
+perform some actions or redirect to other routes whenever the application is
+entering a new route. For example, the following guard checks if there is an
+authenticated user, and if it is not the case, redirect to the sign in route.
+
+```js
+async function protectRoute({ env, to }) {
+  if (!env.session.authUser) {
+    env.session.setNextRoute(to.name);
+    return { to: "SIGN_IN" };
+  }
+  return true;
+}
+```
+
+A navigation guard is a function that returns a promise, which either resolves
+to `true` (the navigation is accepted), or to another destination object.
+
+### `RouteComponent`
+
+The `RouteComponent` component directs Owl to render the component associated
+to the currently active route (if any):
+
+```xml
+<div t-name="App">
+    <NavBar />
+    <RouteComponent />
+</div>
+```
+
+### `Link`
+
+The `Link` component is a Owl component which render as a `<a>` tag with any
+content. It will compute the proper href from its props, and allow Owl to
+properly navigate to a given url if clicked on it.
+
+```xml
+<Link to="'HOME'">Home</Link>
+```

 };

-Mutations are called with the `commit` method on the store, and can receive an arbitrary number of arguments.

 ### Actions
 
-Actions are used to coordinate state changes. It is also useful whenever some
-asynchronous logic is necessary. For example, fetching data should be done
-in an action.
+Actions are used to coordinate state changes. It can be used for both synchronous
+and asynchronous logic.
 
 ```js
 const actions = {

+    state.loginState = "pending";

+    } catch (e) {
+      state.loginState = "error";
     }
   }
 };
 ```
 
+The first argument to an action method is an object with four keys:
+- `state`: the current state of the store content,
+- `dispatch`: a function that can be used to dispatch other actions,
+- `getters`: an object containing all getters defined in the store
+- `env`: the current environment. This is useful sometimes, in particular if
+  an action needs to apply some side effects (such as performing an rpc), and

+Also, it is important to be aware that we need to be careful with asynchronous
+logic. Each state change will potentially trigger a rerendering, so we need to
+make sure that we do not have a partial corrupted state. Here is an example that

 ### Connecting a Component
 
-At some point, we need a way to access the state in the store from a component.
-By default, an Owl `Component` is not connected to any store. To do that, we

+At some point, we need a way to interact with the store from a component. This
+can be done with the help of the three store hooks:
+
+- `useStore` to subscribe a component to some part of the store state,
+- `useDispatch` to get a reference to a dispatch function
+- `useGetters` to get a reference to the getters defined in the store.
+
+
+Assume we have this store:
 
 ```javascript
 const actions = {
-  increment({ commit }) {
-    commit("increment", 1);
-  }
-};
-const mutations = {
   increment({ state }, val) {
-    state.counter += val;
+    state.counter.value += val;
   }
 };
-const state = {
-  counter: 0
-};
-const store = new owl.Store({ state, actions, mutations });
 
-class Counter extends owl.ConnectedComponent {
-  static mapStoreToProps(state) {
-    return {
-      value: state.counter
-    };
-  }
-  increment() {
-    this.env.store.dispatch("increment");
-  }
+const state = {
+  counter: {value: 0}
+};
+const store = new owl.Store({ state, actions });
+```
+
+A counter component can then select this value and dispatch an action like this:
+
+```js
+class Counter extends Component {
+  counter = useStore(state => state.counter);
+  dispatch = useDispatch();
 }
 
 const counter = new Counter({ store, qweb });
 ```
 
 ```xml
-<button t-name="Counter" t-on-click="increment">
-  Click Me! [<t t-esc="props.value"/>]
+<button t-name="Counter" t-on-click="dispatch('increment')">
+  Click Me! [<t t-esc="counter.value"/>]
 </button>
 ```
 
-The `ConnectedComponent` class can be configured with the following fields:
+### `useStore``
 
-- `mapStoreToProps`: a function that extracts the `props` of the Component
-  from the `state` of the `Store` and returns them as a dict.
-- `getStore`: a function that takes the `env` in arguments and returns an
-  instance of `Store` to connect to (if not given, connects to `env.store`)
-- `hashFunction`: the function to use to detect changes in the state (if not
-  given, generates a function that uses revision numbers, incremented at
-  each state change)
-- `deep` (boolean): [only useful if no hashFunction is given] if `false`, only watch
-  for top level state changes (`true` by default)
+The `useStore` hook is used to select some part of the store state. It accepts
+two arguments:
+
+- a selector function, which takes the store state as first argument (and the
+  component props as second argument) and returns
+  an object or an array (which will be then observed)
+- optionally, an object with a `store` key (if we want to override the default
+  store) and an equality function (if we want to specialize the comparison)
+
+
+If the `useStore` callback selects a sub part of the store state, the component
+will only be rerendered whenever this part of the state changes. Otherwise, it
+will perform a strict equality check and updates the component every time this
+check fails.
