Two Path with same route and same component - Vue js - vue.js

Question

I have two path with same component like this:
/:loc("-host") - should match /usa-host
/:loc/:sublocation("-host") - should match /usa/washington-host
how to achieve this using single named route in vue.js

Answer 1

You can use alias of path
const router = new VueRouter({
routes: [
{ path: '/a', component: A, alias: '/b' }
]
})
Check in doc
const Home = { template: '<div>Home</div>' }
const Project = {
template: '<div>Project {{id}}</div>',
mounted(){
console.log(this.$route);
},
data: function () {
return {
id:this.$route.params.id||'',
}
}
}
const router = new VueRouter({
mode: 'history',
routes: [
{
path: '/',
component: Home
},
{
path: '/projects/:id?',
component: Project,
alias: '/project/:id'
}
]
})
new Vue({
router,
el: '#app'
})
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue/dist/vue.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue-router/dist/vue-router.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<router-link to="/">Home</router-link> |
<router-link to="/projects">projects</router-link> |
<router-link to="/project/1">project/1</router-link>
<router-view></router-view>
</div>
Also check fiddle : https://jsfiddle.net/nikleshraut/9sgk6yg4/1/
Note : Opening same component is not working by default, you need to use other trick. For just testing above fiddle, go home->/projects and home->/project/1 will work but /projects->/project/1 or /project/1->/projects will not work. To make it work do something like this : https://jsfiddle.net/nikleshraut/9sgk6yg4/

Answer 2

This is my solution.
Router:
Use ? to separate param from literal in route.
const router = new VueRouter({
routes: [
{ path: '/', component: Home },
{ path: '/:loc/:subloc?-host', component: Location },
{ path: '/:loc?-host', component: Location },
]
})
Component:
Set local variables from $route.params.
const Location = {
template: '<div>Location {{loc}} - {{ subloc }}</div>',
data: function () {
return {
loc: this.$route.params.loc,
subloc: this.$route.params.subloc,
}
},
}
Template:
Use :key="$route.fullPath" to ensure component re-creates each navigation.
<div id="app">
<router-link to="/">Home</router-link> |
<router-link to="/usa-host" >loc1</router-link> |
<router-link to="/usa/washington-host" >loc2</router-link>
<router-view :key="$route.fullPath"></router-view>
</div>
