The router-link in Vue is a component used for navigation, which can generate a link within the application. When the link is clicked, it can trigger a route transition.<\/p>\n

The usage of router-link is as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Import the router-link component:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    import { RouterLink } from 'vue-router'\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. Use the router-link component in the template.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      <router-link<\/span> to<\/span>=\"\/path\"<\/span>><\/span>Link Text<\/router-link<\/span>><\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      The ‘to’ attribute specifies the path to jump to.<\/p>\n
        \n
      1. You can navigate using named routes:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        <router-link<\/span> :to<\/span>=\"{ name: 'routeName' }\"<\/span>><\/span>Link Text<\/router-link<\/span>><\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        The name attribute specifies the named route to jump to.<\/p>\n
          \n
        1. You can set route parameters by passing props.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          <router-link<\/span> :to<\/span>=\"{ name: 'routeName', params: { id: 1 }}\"<\/span>><\/span>Link Text<\/router-link<\/span>><\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
          The params attribute specifies the route parameters that need to be passed.<\/p>\n
            \n
          1. You can replace the current route instead of adding a new entry to the history by setting the replace property.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            <router-link<\/span> to<\/span>=\"\/path\"<\/span> replace<\/span>><\/span>Link Text<\/router-link<\/span>><\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
              \n
            1. You can customize the CSS class name for the active state by setting the active-class attribute.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              <router-link<\/span> to<\/span>=\"\/path\"<\/span> active-class<\/span>=\"active\"<\/span>><\/span>Link Text<\/router-link<\/span>><\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
              The active-class attribute specifies the CSS class name for the active state.<\/p>\n
                \n
              1. You can use the exact attribute to specify that the active state CSS class should only be applied when there is an exact match.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                <router-link<\/span> to<\/span>=\"\/path\"<\/span> exact<\/span>><\/span>Link Text<\/router-link<\/span>><\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
                The above is the basic usage of router-link in Vue. It can be used to create navigation links and trigger route changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
