Overview of this book

Vue.js is a progressive web framework for building professional user interfaces for your web applications. With Vue.js 3, the frontend framework is reinforced with architectural enhancements, new base languages, new render processes, and separated core components. The book starts with recipes for implementing Vue.js 3’s new features in your web development projects and migrating your existing Vue.js apps to the latest version. You will get up and running with TypeScript with Vue.js and find succinct solutions to common challenges and pitfalls faced in implementing components, derivatives, and animation, through to building plugins, adding state management, routing, and developing complete single-page applications (SPAs). As you advance, you'll discover recipes to help you integrate Vue.js apps with Nuxt.js in order to add server-side rendering capabilities to your SPAs. You'll then learn about the Vue.js ecosystem by exploring modern frameworks such as Quasar, Nuxt.js, Vuex, and Vuetify in your web projects. Finally, the book provides you with solutions for packaging and deploying your Vue.js apps. By the end of this Vue.js book, you'll be able to identify and solve challenges faced in building Vue.js applications and be able to adopt the Vue.js framework for frontend web projects of any scale.

Creating the routes

Now we need to make the routes available in the application. To do so, first, we need to declare the routes and the components that the routes will render. Follow these steps to create your Vue application router correctly:

  1. In the src/router folder, open the index.js file.
  2. Import the Contact component page:
import Vue from 'vue';
import VueRouter from 'vue-router';
import Home from '../views/Home.vue';
import Contact from '../views/contact.vue';
  1. In the routes array, we need to create a new route object. This object will have the path property defined as '/contact', name defined as 'contact', and component pointing to the imported Contact component:
{
path: '/contact',
name: 'contact',
component: Contact,
},

To run the server and see your component, you need to open Terminal (macOS or Linux) or Command Prompt/PowerShell (Windows) and execute the following command:

> npm run serve
