Vuejs2 Modal with route in vue-router

Question

I'm trying to create a route with a modal and when you access with router-link to this router-path appears a modal above the current page or if i access directly from url appears the index with modal above.

For example: I'm in http://localhost/profile/1 and click in the sidebar Create team the url changes to http://localhost/team/create but the page behind the modal still is http://localhost/profile/1.

This is the code i'm trying:

router:

Vue.component('modal', Modal);    
export default new Router({
      mode: 'history',
      routes: [
       {
        path: '/',
        name: 'Hello',
        component: require('@/components/Hello'),
        meta: { auth: false }
      },

      {
        path: '/team',
        name: 'team',
        component: require('@/components/team/Index'),
        meta: { auth: true },
      },
      {
        path: '/team/create',
        name: 'CreateTeam',
        components: {
          b: CreateTeam
        },
        meta: { auth: true }
      },  
      ]
    })

App.vue

<template>

  <router-view></router-view>
  <!-- This is the "MODAL" router-view -->
  <router-view name="b"></router-view>              

</template>

Modal.vue

<template>
    <div class="modal">

      <slot name="body"></slot>  
        <button type="button" @click="$emit('close')">×</button>
   </div>
</template>

CreateTeam.vue

<template>
    <modal @close="vm.$router.go(-1)">

        <div slot="body" class="col-md-12">
        <!-- Form here -->
        </div>

    </modal>
</template>

Everything is working instead that when i go to /create/team behind the modal is empty

If anyone needs this solution, i solved this way:

I created a component create-team Vue.component('create-team',CreateTeam) and i put it in the App.vue like this:

<create-team v-if="CreateTeam"></create-team>  

In the same App.vue i created a computed with a vuex getter:

computed: {

    CreateTeam() {
         return store.getters.createTeam
    }
  },

In Sidebar i created a link like this:

 <a @click="CreateTeam" class="user-panel-action-link" href="/create/team">
   <i class="fa fa-users" aria-hidden="true"></i> Crear Equipo
 </a>

And a method CreateTeam

CreateTeam(e) {
      e.preventDefault()
      store.commit('setTeamModal')
      history.pushState('', 'Title of page', '/create/team');

    }

The store.js vuex is simple:

const state = {

    createTeam: false,
}

const mutations = {

    setTeamModal (state) {
      state.createTeam= true
    },
    deleteTeamModal (state) {
      state.createTeam= false
    }
}

const actions = {
    setTeamModal: ({ commit }) => commit('setTeamModal')
   deleteTeamModal: ({ commit }) => commit('setTeamModal')
}

const getters = {

    createTeam: state => state.createTeam
}

export default new Vuex.Store({
    state,
    getters,
    actions,
    mutations
})

And the last thing is in the CreateTeam.vue component the Close method i made somthing like this:

 Close() {
      this.$store.commit('deleteTeamModal')
      this.$router.go(-1)
    }

  }

Maybe someone can make it better, that's my little piece of help

Greetings

If somebody else search for solution for similar problem nice one is presented here. Before redirect to modal route programmatically change components of named routes. Worked for me like a charm with Login/Signup modals.
My notes:
1. Make sure modal routes are not child of any route (I had some problems with default route component).
2. Consider to add router.back() on modal close button.

router.js
    ...
    {
      path: '/',
      name: 'home',
      component: Home,
      meta: {
        twModalView: true
      }
    },
    {
      path: '/directAccess',
      name: 'directAccess',
      component: DirectAccess
    },
    ...
    {
      path: '/:userId/tweet/:id',
      name: 'userTweet',
      beforeEnter: (to, from, next) => {
        const twModalView = from.matched.some(view => view.meta && view.meta.twModalView)

        if (!twModalView) {
          //
          // For direct access
          //
          to.matched[0].components = {
            default: TweetSingle,
            modal: false
          }
        }

        if (twModalView) {
          //
          // For twModalView access
          //
          if (from.matched.length > 1) {
            const childrenView = from.matched.slice(1, from.matched.length)
            for (let view of childrenView) {
              to.matched.push(view)
            }
          }
          if (to.matched[0].components) {
            to.matched[0].components.default = from.matched[0].components.default
            to.matched[0].components.modal = TweetModal
          }
        }

        next()
      }
    },
    ...
