    };
  },
  method: {
     gobackToHome: function() {

        this.$route.push("/")

   // $route or $router both are not working


    }

    // gobackToHome: () => {
      //  this.$route.push("/")
     // }

   }

};
</script>

I think the issue is you aren't importing vue-router into your app. Only into router.js and then you don't import all of router.js into your app, only the createRouter function. Try this:

//routes.js

import Home from "../components/Home/Home.vue";
import About from "../components/About.vue";
import FallBackPage from "../components/FallBackPage/FallBackPage.vue";
import MyOrders from "../components/MyOrders/MyOrders.vue";

export const routes [
   { path: "/", component: Home },
   { path: "/about", component: About },
   { path: "/myorders", component: MyOrders },
   { path: "/*", component: FallBackPage }
  ]




//main.js
import Vue from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import VueRouter from 'vue-router'
import {routes} from './routes'

Vue.use(VueRouter)

const router = new VueRouter({
  mode: 'history',
  routes
})

new Vue({
      router,
      render: h => h(App)
  }).$mount('#app')

Then in your component you use this.$router.push("/")
