How to get route name in vueJS - vue.js

Question

I am trying to create a script in vueJS, to enable the navbar only when the pages are not login/register.
For this I am trying to use this.$route.name but I only get undefined in the console when I am console logging it. I have created a method to check for the route name and i am calling it when the components are mounted i.e using mounted fucntion.
app.vue code:
<template>
<div id="app">
<NavBar v-if="flag" />
<main>
<router-view/>
</main>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import NavBar from './components/NavBar.vue';
export default {
components: { NavBar },
data(){
return{
flag1 : false,
flag2 : false,
flag: false
}
},
mounted() {
let id = localStorage.id;
this.getrouteflags();
return {
id
}
},
methods : {
getrouteflags: function(){
console.log(this.$route.query.name)
if(this.$route.name == 'register'){
this.flag1 = true;
}
if(this.$route.name == 'login'){
this.flag2 = true;
}
this.flag = this.flag1 || this.flag2;
console.log(this.flag1,this.flag2)
}
}
}
</script>
<style>
nav{
}
#app{
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
html,
body {
height: 100%;
min-height: 75rem;
}
body {
justify-content: center;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: flex;
-ms-flex-align: center;
align-items: center;
padding-top: 40px;
padding-bottom: 40px;
background-color: #f5f5f5;
background-image: '../../backend/static/plot.png';
}
.form-signin {
width: 100%;
max-width: 330px;
padding: 15px;
margin: auto;
}
.form-signin .checkbox {
font-weight: 400;
}
.form-signin .form-control {
position: relative;
box-sizing: border-box;
height: auto;
padding: 10px;
font-size: 16px;
}
.form-signin .form-control:focus {
z-index: 2;
}
.form-signin input[type="email"] {
margin-bottom: -1px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 0;
border-bottom-left-radius: 0;
}
.form-signin input[type="password"] {
margin-bottom: 10px;
border-top-left-radius: 0;
border-top-right-radius: 0;
}
body,html{
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
min-height: 100vh;
width: 100%;
}
html{
background-color: white;
}
</style>
This is what I am getting in the console.
Can someone help me in resolving this issue?

I'm guessing you're using Vue2.
Have you tried adding a computed property:
computed: {
currentRouteName() {
return this.$route.name;
}
}
In case you're using Vue3 with a script setup you could use VueRouter's composable.
<script setup>
import { useRouter, useRoute } from 'vue-router';
const router = useRouter();
const route = useRoute();
// Do stuff.
</script>
If you need more help, read VueRouter's guide.
