# Route
The `Route` component should be used for the top-level component for *every*
route/page template. It provides/will provide functionality (along with the
`` component) for setting and announcing the title of the page,
passing data down through the route/template hierarchy, automatic
orchestration of nested routing and visual animating/transitioning between
routes.
## Arguments
| Argument | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | `String` | `undefined` | The name of the route in ember routeName format e.g. `dc.services.index`. This is generally the `routeName` variable that is available to you in all Consul UI route/page level templates.|
| `title` | `String` | `undefined` | The title for this page (eventually passed through to the `{{page-title}}` helper. This argument should be omitted if a title change isn't required. |
| `titleSeparator` | `String` | `undefined` | This can be used in the top-level route to configure the separator for the `{{page-title}}` helper |
