Vue: How to pass custom props and router props? - vue.js

Question

I'm trying to pass props from one page to another with a redirect. Here's the code for the redirect:
<router-link :to="{ name: 'shipment', params: { editedItems: getSelected() } }">
Edit Amount
</router-link>
And here's the original code for the route in router:
{
path: "/inventory/shipment",
name: "shipment",
props: { screen: "shipment" },
component: Inventory,
},
As can be seen, I want to also pass a set variable, being screen, all the time. The route, shipment, can be called with router-link or through other methods. I know by setting props: true on the route it allows me to get the props sent via the redirect, but it doesn't allow me to pass the screen prop if router-link isn't called. What I'm looking for is the best of both worlds, being able to send both props.
Side note: I know I can easily get the prop on the page by looking at the url, but learning how to do a method like this will be helpful in the future when I don't have an easy out.

With Vue router you can access both information (props and params), just use a different pattern to get it:
const MainView = {
template: `<div>MAIN VIEW: click on TO INVENTORY to see data passed</div>`
}
const Inventory = {
props: ['screen'],
computed: {
routeParams() {
return Object.entries(this.$route.params).map(e => {
return `${e[0]}: ${e[1]}`
}).join(', ')
}
},
template: `
<div>
INVENTORY<br />
prop: {{ screen }}<br />
editedItems: {{ $route.params.editedItems }}<br />
all params: {{ routeParams }}
</div>
`
}
const router = new VueRouter({
routes: [{
path: '/',
name: "main",
component: MainView
}, {
path: '/inventory/shipment',
name: "shipment",
props: {
screen: "shipment"
},
component: Inventory
}]
})
new Vue({
el: "#app",
router
})

<div id="app">
<router-link :to="{ name: 'shipment', params: { editedItems: 'someitem' } }">TO INVENTORY</router-link>
<router-link :to="{ name: 'main' }">TO MAIN</router-link>
<router-view></router-view>
</div>
