+**What?**
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+	"github.com/kataras/iris"
+)
+
+func main() {
+
+	iris.None("/api/user/:userid", func(ctx *iris.Context) {
+		userid := ctx.Param("userid")
+		ctx.Writef("user with id: %s", userid)
+	})("user.api")
+
+	// change the "user.api" state from offline to online and online to offline
+	iris.Get("/change", func(ctx *iris.Context) {
+		routeName := "user.api"
+		if iris.Lookup(routeName).IsOnline() {
+			// set to offline
+			iris.SetRouteOffline(routeName)
+		} else {
+			// set to online if it was not online(so it was offline)
+			iris.SetRouteOnline(routeName, iris.MethodGet)
+		}
+	})
+
+	//	iris.Get("/execute/:routename", func(ctx *iris.Context) {
+	//		routeName := ctx.Param("routename")
+	//		userAPICtx := ctx.ExecuteRoute(routeName)
+	//		if userAPICtx == nil {
+	//			ctx.Writef("Route with name: %s didnt' found or couldn't be validate with this request path!", routeName)
+	//		}
+	//	})
+
+	iris.Get("/execute", func(ctx *iris.Context) {
+		routeName := "user.api"
+		// change the path in order to be catcable from the ExecuteRoute
+		// ctx.Request.URL.Path = "/api/user/42"
+		// ctx.ExecRoute(routeName)
+		// or:
+		ctx.ExecRouteAgainst(routeName, "/api/user/42")
+	})
+
+	iris.Get("/", func(ctx *iris.Context) {
+		ctx.Writef("Hello from index /")
+	})
+
+	//
+	// START THE SERVER
+	//
+	// STEPS:
+	// 1. navigate to http://localhost:8080/user/api/42
+	// you should get 404 error
+	// 2. now, navigate to http://localhost:8080/change
+	// you should see a blank page
+	// 3. now, navigate to http://localhost:8080/user/api/42
+	// you should see the page working, NO 404 error
+	// go back to the http://localhost:8080/change
+	// you should get 404 error again
+	// You just dynamically changed the state of a route with 3 lines of code!
+	// you can do the same with group of routes and subdomains :)
+	iris.Listen(":8080")
+}
+
+```

 ## 6.0.9 -> 6.1.0
 
 - Fix a not found error when serving static files through custom subdomain, this should work again: `iris.Party("mysubdomain.").StaticWeb("/", "./static")`
