+# Composing Routers
+
+Routers expose both their routes and options via the `Router` protocol, enabling one to create new routers from existing ones.
+
+## Adding routes to an existing routers
+
+Let's define a router in an `Atom`:
+
+```clj
+(require '[reitit.core :as r])
+
+(def router (atom (r/router
+                    [["/foo/bar" identity]
+                     ["/foo/bar/:id" identity]])))
+
+(r/routes @router)
+;[["/foo/bar" {:handler #object[clojure.core$identity]}]
+; ["/foo/bar/:id" {:handler #object[clojure.core$identity]}]]
+```
+
+A helper to add new route to a router:
+
+```clj
+(defn add-route [router route]
+  (r/router
+    (conj (r/routes router) route)
+    (r/options router)))
+```
+
+Now, we can add routers to the router:
+
+```clj
+(swap! router add-route ["/foo/bar/:id/:subid" identity])
+
+(r/routes @router)
+;[["/foo/bar" {:handler #object[clojure.core$identity]}]
+; ["/foo/bar/:id" {:handler #object[clojure.core$identity]}]
+; ["/foo/bar/:id/:subid" {:handler #object[clojure.core$identity]}]]
+```
+
+Router is recreated, so all the rules are fires:
+
+```clj
+(swap! router add-route ["/foo/:fail" identity])
+;CompilerException clojure.lang.ExceptionInfo: Router contains conflicting routes:
+;
+;   /foo/bar
+;-> /foo/:fail
+```
+
+## Merging routers
+
+Given we have two routers:
+
+```clj
+(def r1 (r/router ["/route1" identity]))
+(def r2 (r/router ["/route2" identity]))
+```
+
+We can create a new router, with merged routes and options:
+
+```clj
+(def r12 (r/router
+           (merge
+             (r/routes r1)
+             (r/routes r2))
+           (merge
+             (r/options r1)
+             (r/options r2))))
+
+(r/routes r12)
+;[["/route1" {:handler #object[clojure.core$identity]}]
+; ["/route2" {:handler #object[clojure.core$identity]}]]
+```
+
+## TODO
+
+* `reitit.core/merge-routes` to effectively merge routes with route data
+
