NativeScript-Vue-Navigator

NativeScript-Vue-Navigator is a simple router implementation that is suitable for NativeScript-Vue.

Quick Start

$ npm install --save nativescript-vue-navigator

// main.js
import Vue from 'nativescript-vue'
...
+ import Navigator from 'nativescript-vue-navigator'
+ import {routes} from './routes'
+ Vue.use(Navigator, { routes })

new Vue({
-   render: h => h('frame', App),
+   render: h => h(App),
}).$start()

// routes.js
import HomePage from './components/HomePage'
import LoginPage from './components/LoginPage'

export const routes = {
  '/home': {
    component: HomePage,
  },
  '/login': {
    component: LoginPage,
  },
}

// App.vue
<template>
+  <Navigator :defaultRoute="isLoggedIn ? '/home' : '/login'"/>
</template>

Attaching extra data to a route

// routes.js
import HomePage from './components/HomePage'
import LoginPage from './components/LoginPage'

export const routes = {
  '/home': {
    component: HomePage,
+   // we are using `meta` as a good practice, but you are free to use something else
+   meta: { needsAuth: true }
  },
  '/login': {
    component: LoginPage,
+   meta: { needsAuth: false }
  },
}

<!-- anywhere in your templates -->
<Label :text="$navigator.route.meta.needsAuth" />

// or in any vue component
export default {
  methods: {
    doStuff() {
      if(this.$navigator.route.meta.needsAuth) {
        // do stuff
      }
    }
  }
}

Navigating

This package provides 2 methods for navigation, $navigator.navigate and $navigator.back

$navigator.navigate(to, options) is used for all forward navigation

to is the path to navigate to (ex.: /home)
options is an optional object, which accepts all options supported by Manual Routing

For example, given you are on a Login page, and successfully log in you would navigate to the Home page with

this.$navigator.navigate('/home', { clearHistory: true })

Note that we used clearHistory: true to prevent the back button from going back to the login page.

$navigator.back(options, backstackEntry) is an alias to $navigateBack

Uh oh!
