基于Vue-Router语言的路由前缀

Question

I'm using prerender-spa-plugin in order to prerender certain pages so I get better SEO from my Vue app.

My goal is to transform the way I'm currently using Vue-i18n , so I can base it on url param /lang . Examples: /en/home or /nl/home . With this, I would be able to pre-render depending on the language.

I created a prefixer function that adds to every parent route the optional param /:lang? . Here it is:

const withPrefix = (prefix: string, routes: RouteConfig[]): RouteConfig[] => routes.map((route): RouteConfig => {
  // Avoiding mutations
  const clonedRoute = { ...route };
  // Every route except for '/'
  if (clonedRoute.path !== '/') {
    clonedRoute.path = prefix + clonedRoute.path;
  }
  return clonedRoute;
});

In Vue templates, I'm using:

<router-link :to="`/account`">

So I'm trying to manipulate the redirect to the next page according to the lang param.

First approach

The most logical one is (inside Router's beforeEach ):

const { lang } = to.params;
const redirectTo = lang ? to.fullPath : `${fullToLang}${to.fullPath}`;
if (from.fullPath !== redirectTo) {
  next({ path: redirectTo });
} else {
  next();
}

But it enters in an endless loop because from is always the same.

Second approach

Using Router 's base property.

import Vue from "vue";
import App from "./App.vue";
import VueRouter from "vue-router";
import HelloWorld from "./components/HelloWorld";
import Test from "./components/Test";

Vue.config.productionTip = false;

Vue.use(VueRouter);

const router = new VueRouter({
  mode: "history",
  base: "/en",
  routes: [
    {
      path: ":lang?/",
      component: HelloWorld,
      beforeEnter: (to, from, next) => {
        console.log(1);
        next();
      }
    },
    {
      path: "/:lang?/nope",
      component: Test,
      beforeEnter: (to, from, next) => {
        console.log(2);
        next();
      }
    },
    {
      path: "/:lang?/*",
      beforeEnter: (to, from, next) => {
        console.log(to);
        next("/nope");
      }
    }
  ]
});

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

Or better, live: https://codesandbox.io/embed/vue-template-0bwr9

But, I don't understand why it's redirecting to /en/nope only if the url is not found on the routes (last case). And more, would I have to create a new Router instance each time I want to change base ?

Third approach

Wrapper component for router-link injecting :to based on this.$route.params.lang .

This would do it for navigation after the app is loaded but not at the first refresh/initialization.

So, how should I resolve this?

~ Solution ~

So yeah, first approach was the correct way to go but I missunderstood how Router behaves with next and redirects . The condition should be checking the to not the from .

const redirectTo = lang ? to.fullPath : `${fullToLang}${to.fullPath}`;
if (to.fullPath !== redirectTo) {
  // Change language at i18n
  loadLanguageAsync(toLang as Language);

  next({ path: redirectTo });

  return;
}

Answer 1

I am not entirely sure what you are asking. But I assume you want to prefix your navigations with the current language param (../en/..) if they do not already have one?

You could resolve this with a beforeEach() hook and only redirecting if there is no lang param present.

const { lang } = to.params
if(!lang) {
  next({ path: redirectTo })
}
next()

If that's not what you want please clarify and I'll edit my answer

Answer 2

Something like this? The assumption is that the new path starts /[lang]/...

as a note - there are still errors when routing eg /:lang/bar -> /foo/bar

 Vue.lang = 'en' function beforeEnter(to, from, next){ if ((new RegExp(`^/${Vue.lang}$`)) .test(to.path) || (new RegExp(`^/${Vue.lang}/`)) .test(to.path)) { next(); } else { next({path: `/${Vue.lang}${to.path}`}) } }; Vue.mixin({ beforeRouteEnter: beforeEnter }) const Foo = { template: '<div>foo - {{$route.path}}</div>' } const Bar = { template: '<div>bar - {{$route.path}}</div>' } const Root = { template: '<div>Root - {{$route.path}}</div>' } const Invalid = { template: '<div>404</div>' } const routes = [ { path: '/:lang/foo', component: Foo }, { path: '/:lang/bar', component: Bar }, { path: '/:lang/*', component: Invalid }, { path: '/:lang', name: 'Home', component: Root }, // some weird issue that prevents beforeRouteEnter ? so redirect, but else next is needed { path: '/', redirect: to => `/${Vue.lang}`} ] const router = new VueRouter({ routes }) new Vue({ data(){ return { pLang: Vue.lang, } }, computed: { lang: { get(){ return this.pLang }, set(val){ Vue.lang = val this.pLang = val } } }, router, }).$mount('#app');
