Quasar App Extension auto-routing-patched

"Nuxt-like" routing in Quasar projects

Install

quasar ext add auto-routing-patched

Quasar CLI will retrieve it from the NPM registry and install the extension to your project.

Lastly, dive into src/router/routes.js and use the generated routes:

import generatedRoutes from './auto-routing-patched' // 🤿 Here

const routes = [
  ...generatedRoutes, // 🤿 And here
  {
    path: '/',
    component: () => import('layouts/MainLayout.vue'),
    children: [{ path: '', component: () => import('pages/Index.vue') }],
  },

  // Always leave this as last one,
  // but you can also remove it
  {
    path: '/:catchAll(.*)*',
    component: () => import('pages/Error404.vue'),
  },
]

export default routes

Linting

You may want to ignore linting on the auto-generated routes! Add the following at the bottom of your .eslintignore file:

/src/router/auto-routing-patched

That's it! Start adding pages to your src/pages directory and the routing will be automagically done for you!

Also take a look at src/layouts/default.vue to change the default used layout.

A note about routePrefix

When adding a routePrefix in quasar.extensions.json, be sure to also set "nested": true inside generatorConfig. This is best shown with an example!

{
  "auto-routing-patched": {
    "pagesDir": "src/pages",
    "routePrefix": "/admin", // 🤿 Set a prefix for routes
    "layoutsDir": "src/layouts",
    "ignorePattern": "/(^|[/\\])../",
    "outDir": "src/router/auto-routing-patched",
    "pagesImportPrefix": "pages/",
    "generatorConfig": {
      "nested": true // 🤿 Tell the generator to treat ALL routes as nested.
    }
  }
}

References

Note that we can also proxy settings to vue-route-generator with the generatorConfig property

• pagesDir: path to the page components
• routePrefix: prefix all routes (e.g. /posts). See section above on "routePrefix"
• layoutsDir: path to the layout components
• ignorePattern: files that match this pattern will be ignored by the generator in your pages and layout dir
• outDir: directory that holds generated routes
• pagesImportPrefix: When generating routes, this prefix is used. By default, we use Quasar's pages alias (pages/)
• generatorConfig: See vue-route-generator "References" for all available options
