Hello Developer Friends 👋! In this post, we're going to delve deep into Vue Router in Vue.js 3. Vue Router allows us to create single page applications (SPA) with routers, meaning interactive and dynamic applications. Are you excited? Because I know I am! 🚀 So let's get started.
In Step One, we first need to install Vue.js and Vue Router in our project. We can do this by using Vue CLI or manually using npm.
npm install -g @vue/cli # Install Vue CLI
vue create my-vue-project # Create a new Vue project
cd my-vue-project # Navigate to the project
npm install vue-router@next # Install Vue Router
With the above codes, we have Vue.js and Vue Router installed. So simple. Now we can start defining our routes.
In a new Vue project, the routing logic typically resides in the src/router/index.js file.
import { createRouter, createWebHistory } from 'vue-router'
import Home from '../views/Home.vue'
const routes = [
{
path: '/',
name: 'Home',
component: Home
},
// More routes...
]
const router = createRouter({
history: createWebHistory(),
routes
})
export default router
In the above snippet, we create a router instance where we define our application routes. Each route is an object with path, name, and component properties. Here, '/' corresponds to the root of the application and renders Home.vue view 😊.
That's all for this introductory blog post. Vue Router in Vue.js 3 is a powerful tool for creating impressive SPAs and with this knowledge, you are now well-equipped to take your Vue.js applications to the next level. 🎉
Thanks for reading. Stay tuned for more Spirit of the Code posts decoding the world of web development!
