💿 Installation

# npm
npm install @intlify/vue-router-bridge

# yarn
yarn add @intlify/vue-router-bridge

# pnpm
pnpm add @intlify/vue-router-bridge

⛓️ Dependencies

You need to add vue-router and @vue/composition-api to your plugin's peer dependencies to specify what versions you support.

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@intlify/vue-router-bridge": "latest"
  },
  "peerDependencies": {
    "@vue/composition-api": "^1.0.0-rc.1",
    "vue-router": "^3.0.0" // or "^4.0.0" base on your preferred working environment
  },
  "peerDependenciesMeta": {
    "@vue/composition-api": {
      "optional": true
    }
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "vue-router": "^3.0.0" // or "^4.0.0" base on your preferred working environment
  },
}

Import everything related to Vue Router from it, it will redirect to vue-router@3 + @vue/composition-api or vue-router@4 based on users' environments.

import { useRouter, useRoute } from '@intlify/vue-router-bridge'

When using with Vite, you will need to opt-out the pre-bundling to get @intlify/vue-router-bridge work properly by

// vite.config.js
export default defineConfig({
  optimizeDeps: {
    exclude: ['@intlify/vue-router-bridge']
 }
})

🤝 Extra APIs

@intlify/vue-router-bridge provides extra APIs to help distinguish users' environments and to do some version-specific logic.

isVueRouter3 / isVueRouter4

import { isVueRouter3, isVueRouter4 } from '@intlify/vue-router-bridge'

if (isVueRouter3) {
  // Vue Router 3 only
} else {
  // Vue Router 4 only
}

📺 CLI

To explicitly switch the redirecting version, you can use these commands in your project's root:

🤏 Manually Switch Versions

npx vue-router-switch 3
# or
npx vue-router-switch 4

📦 Package Aliasing

If you would like to import vue-router under an alias, you can use the following command:

npx vue-router-switch 3 vue-router3
# or
npx vue-router-switch 4 vue-router4

🩹 Auto Fix

If the postinstall hook doesn't get triggered or you have updated the Vue Router version, try to run the following command to resolve the redirecting:

npx vue-router-fix

✳️ Isomorphic Testings

You can support testing for both versions by adding npm alias in your dev dependencies. For example:

{
  "scripts": {
    "test:3": "vue-router-switch 3 vue-router3 && jest",
    "test:4": "vue-router-switch 4 && jest",
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "vue-router": "^4.0.0",
    "vue-router3": "npm:vue-router@3"
  },
}

or

{
  "scripts": {
    "test:3": "vue-router-switch 3 && jest",
    "test:4": "vue-router-switch 4 vue-router4 && jest",
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "vue-router": "^3.0.0",
    "vue-router4": "npm:vue-router@4"
  },
}
