How to set initial router route?

I want to be able to change the current vue-router route by pushing a new path, but I don’t seem to get access to the router with the render() function.

How am I supposed to change routes with this library?

EDIT: changed title from “How to change router route?”

I suppose that’s possible but I went for a middle path between dogmatism and pragmatism. This lets people control the initial setup then test against the DOM. If they want to start accessing the router directly then they’re free to miss the point of such testing 😆

@dfcook thanks, that’s great! But are you not worried that now one can have access to the router at any time by saving it to an outer variable from the init callback? I said the examples I said, because in those ways you would not have to expose the router.
