Overview

Vue Route Handler simplifies the process of declaring route definitions for Vue Router. Drawing inspiration from Laravel, it utilizes chained calls to construct your routes, enabling you to group and nest them as deeply as needed.

Here's an example usage:

import { createRouter, createWebHistory } from "vue-router";
import { Factory, Guard, Route } from "vue-route-handler";
import Home from "./views/Home.vue";
import About from "./views/About.vue";
import ManageAccount from "./views/ManageAccount.vue";
import ViewSubscription from "./views/ViewSubscription.vue";
import CancelSubscription from "./views/CancelSubscription.vue";
import UpgradeSubscription from "./views/UpgradeSubscription.vue";
import StartUpgrade from "./views/StartUpgrade.vue";
import SelectNewPlan from "./views/SelectNewPlan.vue";
import ReviewPaymentMethod from "./views/ReviewPaymentMethod.vue";
import ManageCards from "./views/ManageCards.vue";
export const routeHomePage = {
  name: "home",
};

class AuthGuard extends Guard {
  handle(resolve: () => void, reject: (reason: { name: string }) => void) {
    let isAuthenticated = false;

    if (isAuthenticated) {
      resolve();
    } else {
      reject(routeHomePage);
    }
  }
}

class GuestAuthenticationGuard extends Guard {
  handle(resolve: () => void): void {
    resolve();
  }
}

Factory.withGuards({
  auth: AuthGuard,
  guest: GuestAuthenticationGuard,
});

Route.view({ path: "/", view: Home }).name("home");
Route.view({ path: "about", view: About }).name("about").guard("auth");

Route.group({ prefix: "account", name: "account" }, () => {
  Route.view({ path: "/", view: ManageAccount }).name("manage");

  Route.group({ prefix: "subscription", name: "subscription" }, () => {
    Route.view({ path: "/", view: ViewSubscription }).name("view");
    Route.view({ path: "cancel", view: CancelSubscription }).name("cancel");

    Route.view({ path: "upgrade", view: UpgradeSubscription })
      .name("upgrade")
      .children(() => {
        Route.view({ path: "/", view: StartUpgrade }).name("start");
        Route.group({ prefix: "steps" }, () => {
          Route.view({ path: "select-new-plan", view: SelectNewPlan }).name(
            "select-new-plan"
          );
          Route.view({
            path: "review-payment-method",
            view: ReviewPaymentMethod,
          }).name("review-payment-method");
        });
      });
  });

  Route.view({ path: "cards", view: ManageCards }).name("cards");
});

const router = createRouter({
  routes: Factory.routes(),
  history: createWebHistory(),
});

export default router;

using usingResolver method and import.meta.globEager

import { createRouter, createWebHistory } from "vue-router";
import { Factory, Guard, Route } from "vue-route-handler";

interface Views {
  [key: string]: https://github.com/anilkumarthakur60/vue-routes/blob/HEAD/{ default: any };
}

class AuthGuard extends Guard {
  handle(resolve: () => void): void {

    console.log('MyGuard.handle()');
    resolve();

  }
}

class GuestAuthenticationGuard extends Guard {
  handle(resolve: () => void): void {

    console.log('GuestAuthenticationGuard.handle()');
    resolve();

  }
}


Factory.withGuards({
  auth: AuthGuard,
  guest: GuestAuthenticationGuard
})


const views = import.meta.glob("./views/**/*.vue") as Views;
const view = (path: string) => views[`./views/${path}.vue`];

Factory.usingResolver(view).withGuards({ AuthGuard });

Route.view({ path: "/", view: "Home" }).name("home");
Route.view({ path: "/about", view: "About" }).guard("AuthGuard").name("about");

Route.group({ prefix: "account", name: "account" }, () => {
  Route.view({ path: "/", view: "ManageAccount" }).name("manage");

  Route.group({ prefix: "subscription", name: "subscription" }, () => {
    Route.view({ path: "/", view: "ViewSubscription" }).name("view");
    Route.view({ path: "cancel", view: "CancelSubscription" }).name("cancel");

    Route.view({ path: "upgrade", view: "UpgradeSubscription" })
      .name("upgrade")
      .children(() => {
        Route.view({ path: "/", view: "StartUpgrade" }).name("start");
        Route.group({ prefix: "steps" }, () => {
          Route.view({ path: "select-new-plan", view: "SelectNewPlan" }).name("select-new-plan");
          Route.view({ path: "review-payment-method", view: "ReviewPaymentMethod" }).name("review-payment-method");
        });
      });
  });

  Route.view({ path: "cards", view: "ManageCards" }).name("cards");
});

const router = createRouter({
  routes: Factory.routes(),
  history: createWebHistory(),
});

export default router;

This results in an array of routes in the format expected by Vue Router. The library's behavior is somewhat akin to Laravel's router, including:

• Utilizing callbacks to iteratively collect routes
• Properly joining nested routes, regardless of prefixed slashes
• Correctly joining the names of nested routes using a separator of your choice
