[Vuejs]-How to update vue-router

You need to import vue router. You can choose to import vue router when creating a new project or later by adding vue router to the project.

Once you do that you need to define your routes. Please follow this link – https://scotch.io/tutorials/getting-started-with-vue-router.

Basically if you include router option while creating new project most of work is done for you by cli.

To dynamically add route to existing router, you could use router.addRoutes([]) as follow :

router.js :

Vue.use(Router)

// define your static routes
var route = [
  {
    path: '/home',
    name: 'Home',
    component: Home
  }
];

export default new Router({
  mode: 'history',
  base: process.env.BASE_URL,
  routes: route
})

anywhere else

import router from '@/router'

router.addRoutes([{
    path: '/awards',
    name: 'Awards',
    component: () => import('./views/Awards.vue')
  },
  {
    path: '/news',
    name: 'News',
    component: () => import('./views/News.vue')
  },
  {
    path: '/product',
    name: 'Product',
    component: () => import( './views/Product.vue')
  },
  {
    path: '/page',
    name: 'Page',
    component: () => import('./views/Page.vue')
  }
])
router.push('/page')

UPDATE: another example with promise

import router from '@/router'

const getRoutesFromApi = () => {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    const data = [
      {
        path: '/awards',
        name: 'Awards',
        component: () => import('./views/Awards.vue')
      },
      {
        path: '/news',
        name: 'News',
        component: () => import('./views/News.vue')
      },
      {
        path: '/product',
        name: 'Product',
        component: () => import( './views/Product.vue')
      },
      {
        path: '/page',
        name: 'Page',
        component: () => import('./views/Page.vue')
      }
    ]
    setTimeout(resolve(data), 5000)
  })
}

getRoutesFromApi().then(response => router.addRoutes(response))

UPDATE 2 : more concrete example

import router from '@/router'
import axios from 'axios'

axios.get('http://your-api/whatever').then(response => {
    // response contains your data as json, you have to fetch them to get vuejs route-like object
    const routes = JSON.parse(response.data).map(o => {
        // here you have to transform your data in vuejs route item for example
        return {
            path: o.menu_url
            name: o.menu_item + 'View'
            component: () => import('./views/' + o.menu_item + '.vue')
        }
    })
    router.addRoutes(routes)
}
