Vue Router

Vue Router is the official routing library for Vue.js applications. It deeply integrates with Vue's core to make building single-page applications with multiple views effortless. Vue Router provides declarative route configuration, nested routing, route guards, and automatic active link styling.

Note

We have an extended core library Localized Routing to help build a localized routing experience that meets xerius url standards and structure.

What is Vue Router?

Vue Router enables client-side routing in Vue applications, allowing you to:

• Map URLs to Components: Define which component renders for each route
• Navigate Programmatically: Change routes through JavaScript without page reloads
• Pass Route Parameters: Extract dynamic segments from URLs and pass them to components
• Protect Routes: Implement authentication and authorization through route guards
• Organize Complex UIs: Build nested layouts and multi-level navigation structures

Key Features

1. Declarative Route Configuration: Define routes using a simple configuration object
2. Dynamic Route Matching: Support for parameterized routes with flexible patterns
3. Nested Routes: Create complex layouts with nested router views
4. Route Guards: Control navigation flow with beforeEach, beforeEnter, and component guards
5. Lazy Loading: Code-split routes for optimal performance
6. HTML5 History Mode: Clean URLs without hash fragments
