Add the Router to LitElement using the router method then register the routes and the router callback.

import { LitElement, html } from 'lit-element';
import { router } from 'lit-element-router';

import './app-link';
import './app-main';

@router
class App extends LitElement {
// OR
class App extends router(LitElement) {
  static get properties() {
    return {
      route: { type: String },
      params: { type: Object },
      query: { type: Object }
    };
  }

  static get routes() {
    return [{
      name: 'home',
      pattern: '',
      data: { title: 'Home' }
    }, {
      name: 'info',
      pattern: 'info'
    }, {
      name: 'user',
      pattern: 'user/:id'
    }, {
      name: 'not-found',
      pattern: '*'
    }];
  }

  constructor() {
    super();
    this.route = '';
    this.params = {};
    this.query = {};
  }

  router(route, params, query, data) {
    this.route = route;
    this.params = params;
    this.query = query;
    console.log(route, params, query, data);
  }

  render() {
    return html`
      <app-link href="/">Home</app-link>
      <app-link href="/info">Info</app-link>
      <app-link href="/info?data=12345">Info?data=12345</app-link>
      <app-link href="/user/14">user/14</app-link>

      <app-main active-route=${this.route}>
          <h1 route='home'>Home</h1>
          <h1 route='info'>Info ${this.query.data}</h1>
          <h1 route='user'>User ${this.params.id} </h1>
          <h1 route='not-found'>Not Found </h1>
      </app-main>
    `;
  }
}

customElements.define('my-app', App);

Add the Outlet to LitElement using the outlet method.

import { LitElement, html } from 'lit-element';
import { outlet } from 'lit-element-router';

@outlet
class Main extends LitElement {
// OR
class Main extends outlet(LitElement) {
  render() {
    return html`
      <slot></slot>
    `;
  }
}

customElements.define('app-main', Main);

Add the Navigator to LitElement using the navigator method then use the navigate method to navigate.

import { LitElement, html } from 'lit-element';
import { navigator } from 'lit-element-router';

@navigator
class Link extends LitElement {
// OR
class Link extends navigator(LitElement) {
    static get properties() {
        return {
            href: { type: String }
        };
    }
    constructor() {
        super();
        this.href = '';
    }
    render() {
        return html`
            <a href='${this.href}' @click='${this.linkClick}'>
                <slot></slot>
            </a>
        `;
    }
    linkClick(event) {
        event.preventDefault();
        this.navigate(this.href);
    }
}
