js must work with friendly URLs

[amcoho]

Right now we support /form.php?step=n URLs

We should also support /form/steps/n/

Let me know if you see any issues with this and if not, I will add server-side support for it.

What are the requirements and how much complexity does it bring in? I'm generally against such things, because this boilerplate is a proof of concept to see whether we can implement a multi-step form as a single-page form and things that are not a risk factor or a challenge toward that goal should be left out for sake of clarity.

I say mark this as an enhancement for now. As long as boilerplate is not working properly and satisfying main requirements of the project, we shouldn't spend time on such things.

@amcoho And how would we know in such friendly urls which parts are the query strings? Suppose we have a url with several queries.

@amcoho Would we still be able to use javascript's URLSearchParams to access url parameters? I don't think so, do you? Then it has a big disadvantage.

@amcoho This also means in step 3 we could have a url like below, right?

How would we know which slash is the start point of queries? In normal url the "?" makes it clear where the query starts, but not here!

@amcoho Can't we have a url like this instead?

http://saeidmohadjer.com/formwizard/form?step=3&mode=add

This would hide which technology you are using in backend and I think the url is easy to read too.
