Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When master detail loads it displays a blank page for detail. There doesn't appear to be a trivial way to load a default view.

Describe the solution you'd like

Addition of a "defaultDetail" property to the master route or a "default" (boolean) property on routes within detailRoutes.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Detecting and re-directing during componentDidMount and render on the master view are difficult to make work because the navigate has not completed and the route object passed is the route to the master.

beforeEnter on the master route has a similar issue.

Research direction

Start by reading the MasterDetail implementation and how the master route and detailRoutes are processed. Compare the proposed defaultDetail property with a default boolean on detail routes, then verify that a default detail view loads instead of a blank page and that existing navigation behavior remains unchanged.
