For example, we want to render the User view component for every user but with different id values. Vue Router provides us with the ability to use dynamic segments denoted by a colon (:) to achieve dynamic routing.

Instead of using params, which doesn't persist its value on refresh or appear in the URL, we define the required params directly in the path as follows:
