Passing props with programmatic navigation Vue.js

Question

I have a Vue component that has a prop named 'title' e.g:

<script>
export default {
  props: ['title'],
  data() {
    return {
    }
  }
}
</script>

I navigate to the component programmatically after a certain action is complete. Is there a way to programmatically route a user while also setting the prop value? I know you can create a link like this:

<router-link to="/foo" title="example title">link</router-link>

However, is there a way to do something like the following?

this.$router.push({ path: '/foo', title: 'test title' })

EDIT:

As suggested I've changed my route to the following:

   {
      path: '/i/:imageID',
      component: Image,
      props: true
    }

And the navigation to the following:

this.$router.push({ path: '/i/15', params: {title: 'test title' }})

However, my Image component (template - see below) still doesn't show any title.

<h1>{{ title}}</h1>

Is there anything that could be causing issues?

Answer 1

Use params.

this.$router.push({ name: 'foo', params: {title: 'test title' }})

Note: You have to specify name. This does not work if you call this.$router.push using path.

And set the route to accept params as props.

{path: "/foo", name:"foo", component: FooComponent,  props: true}

props: true is documented here.

Answer 2

The vue-router docs clearly state params only work with name and not path.

// set  props: true in your route definition
const userId = 123
router.push({ name: 'user', params: { userId }}) // -> /user/123
// This will NOT work
router.push({ path: '/user', params: { userId }}) // -> /user

If you use path, pass the params in the path itself or use query as demonstrated below:

router.push({ path: `/user/${userId}` }) // -> /user/123

// with query, resulting in /register?plan=private
router.push({ path: 'register', query: { plan: 'private' }})

Running into the same problem with children routes defined in router. router.js below shows children routes mapped to named

<router-view name="create"></router-view>
<router-view name="dashboard"></router-view>

router.js

    {
      path: "/job",
      name: "Job",
      component: () => import("./views/JobPage"),
      children: [
        {
          path: "create",
          name: "JobCreate",
          components: {
            create: JobCreate
          }
        },
        {
          path: ":id",
          name: "JobConsole",
          components: {
            dashboard: JobConsole
          }
        }
      ]
    },

When I attempt to pass props from create, vue-router fails to capture the dynamic route matching needed for JobConsole:

      this.$router.push(
        {
          name: "Job",
          params: {
            id: this.ID_From_JobCreate
          }
      )
