To implement client-side routing with Vue Router, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Install Vue Router First, you need to install Vue Router using npm or yarn. Run the following command in your project directory:
npm install vue-router
Step 2: Create Vue Router instance Inside your main.js file or any other entry file, import Vue and Vue Router, and create a new Vue Router instance:
import Vue from 'vue' import VueRouter from 'vue-router'
Vue.use(VueRouter)
const router = new VueRouter({ mode: 'history', // use HTML5 history mode to remove the hash (#) from URLs routes: [ // define your routes here ] })
Step 3: Define your routes Inside the Vue Router instance, define your routes using the routes option. Each route should have a path indicating the URL path, and a component indicating the Vue component to render:
const routes = [ { path: '/', component: Home }, { path: '/about', component: About }, // add more routes here ]
Step 4: Create Vue components Create your Vue components for each route. For example, create a Home.vue component for the '/' route, and an About.vue component for the '/about' route.
Step 5: Add the Router View and Router Link
In your main App.vue file, add the
To navigate between routes, use the
Step 6: Mount the Vue instance Mount the Vue instance with the router option to make Vue Router available throughout your application:
new Vue({ router, render: h => h(App) }).$mount('#app')
That's it! You have now implemented client-side routing with Vue Router. Your application will now handle navigation between routes without a page reload.
