What are some examples of using Vue Router?

Vue Router is a powerful routing library for Vue.js. Here are a few examples:

1. Basic Routing: Setting up routes for different components in your app.
2. Nested Routes: Creating child routes for more complex layouts.
3. Dynamic Routing: Using route parameters to display dynamic content.
4. Navigation Guards: Protecting routes based on user authentication.

Can you show me a code example for dynamic routing?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

const routes = [
  { path: '/user/:id', component: User },
];

In this example, :id is a dynamic segment that can be accessed in the User component.

What about nested routes?

For nested routes, you can define routes within a parent route like this:

const routes = [
  { path: '/parent', component: Parent,
    children: [
      { path: 'child', component: Child }
    ]
  }
];

This allows you to render the Child component within the Parent component.

How do I implement navigation guards?

You can implement navigation guards using the beforeEnter property in your route definitions:

const routes = [
  { path: '/protected', component: Protected, beforeEnter: (to, from, next) => {
      if (isAuthenticated()) {
          next();
      } else {
          next('/login');
      }
  }}
];

This checks if the user is authenticated before allowing access to the Protected route.
