I have the following jsfiddle that has two Vuetify tabs. The documentation doesn't show examples on using vue-router
with them.
I found this Medium.com post on how to use Vuetify with vue-router
, which has the following code:
<div id="app"> <v-tabs grow light> <v-tabs-bar> <v-tabs-item href="/" router> <v-icon>motorcycle</v-icon> </v-tabs-item> <v-tabs-item href="/dog" router> <v-icon>pets</v-icon> </v-tabs-item> </v-tabs-bar> </v-tabs> <router-view /> </div>
However, the code is now outdated as the Vuetify 1.0.13 Tabs documentation doesn't specify a router
prop in their api, so the embedded example in the post doesn't work.
I also found this StackOverflow answer which had the following code:
<v-tabs-item :to="{path:'/path/to/somewhere'}">
However, using the to
prop doesn't work and it's also not listed in the Vuetify api. In contrast, the v-button
Vuetify component does list a to
prop and utilizes vue-router
, so I would expect a vue-router
supported component to support the to
prop.
Digging around in the old old Vuetify 0.17 docs, the to
prop is specified for v-tabs-item
. It seems that support might have been removed in 1.0.13.
How can I use vue-router
with Vuetify tabs?
to open a Vue Router link in a new tab, we can call the $router. resolve method to get the full URL from the route name, path, parameter and query values. Then we can use window. open to open the URL in a new tab.
A redirect means when the user visits /home , the URL will be replaced by / , and then matched as / . But what is an alias? An alias of / as /home means when the user visits /home , the URL remains /home , but it will be matched as if the user is visiting / .
Holy wow! I asked the Vuetify community to add documentation to their api, and it looks like they just added the to
prop as well as other vue-router
props to the Vuetify tabs docs. Seriously, the community there is awesome.
The folks in the Vuetify community Discord were able to help me out. My updated jsfiddle now has the working code.
Essentially, v-tab
is a wrapper for router-link
, where I assume it uses slots to pass props to router-link
, so putting the to
prop on v-tab
works fine.
The following code is an example of the working code:
<v-app dark> <v-tabs fixed-tabs> <v-tab to="/foo">Foo</v-tab> <v-tab to="/bar">Bar</v-tab> </v-tabs> <router-view></router-view> </v-app>
const Foo = { template: '<div>Foo component!</div>' }; const Bar = { template: '<div>Bar component!</div>' }; const routes = [ { path: '/foo', component: Foo }, { path: '/bar', component: Bar }, ]; const router = new VueRouter({ routes }); new Vue({ el: '#app', router, });
The template part:
<div> <v-tabs class="tabs" centered grow height="60px" v-model="activeTab" > <v-tab v-for="tab in tabs" :key="tab.id" :to="tab.route" exact> {{ tab.name }} </v-tab> </v-tabs> <router-view></router-view> </div>
And the js part:
data() { return { activeTab: `/user/${this.id}`, tabs: [ { id: 1, name: "Task", route: `/user/${this.id}` }, { id: 2, name: "Project", route: `/user/${this.id}/project` } ] }; }
Routes:
{ path: "/user/:id", component: User1, props: true, children: [ { path: "", //selected tab by default component: TaskTab }, { path: "project", component: ProjectTab } ] }
