Overview of this book

<p>Vue.js is a library to build interactive web interfaces. The aim is to provide the benefits of reactive data binding and composable view components with an API that is as simple as possible.</p> <p>This book will teach you how to efficiently implement Vue.js in your projects. It starts with the fundamentals of Vue.js to building large-scale applications. You will find out what components, filters, methods, and computed properties are and how to use them to build robust applications.</p> <p>Further on, you will become familiar with ES6, single file components, module bundlers, and workflow automation. The best way to learn to code is to write it, so there’s an exercise at the end of most of the chapters for you to solve and actually test yourself on what you have learned. You can solve these in order to gain a better understanding of Vue.js.</p> <p>By the end of this book, you will be able to create fast front-end applications and increase the performance of your existing projects with Vue.js integration.</p>

Chapter 16. Vue Router

Routing, in general, refers to determining how your application responds to a client request. A web browser request wouldn't be directed to your application without some form of routing. Router helps a web server to fetch an appropriate and exact information for the user. It is like a station master at a railway station, who informs the train operator when to change tracks.

The way of swapping views, we just studied, paves the way for routing. The official router for Vue.js is called vue-router. It is deeply integrated with Vue.js core to make building single page applications a breeze. This plugin is relatively easy to understand, install, and use.

The main features are:

  • Nested route/view mapping

  • Modular, component-based router configuration

  • Route params, query, and wildcards

  • View transition effects powered by Vue.js' transition system

  • Fine-grained navigation control

  • Links with automatic active CSS classes

  • HTML5 history mode or hash mode, with auto-fallback in IE9

  • Restore scroll...
