About

Params of vue-router coming from the url are strings. Ids as props (eg. userId) commonly are numbers. So you need an easy way to cast string values to number values. That's where vue-router-parse-props comes into play. The parser takes an parser-object and returns a function. For more information see: https://router.vuejs.org/guide/essentials/passing-props.html#function-mode

• written in typescript
• compatible with vue-router@3 and vue-router@4
• parse to Number/String/Date
• parse route.params and/or route.query

Original idea from: https://stackoverflow.com/a/63897213

Usage

// src/router/index.ts
import propsParser from 'vue-router-parse-props'
import { parse } from 'date-fns'

const router = new Router({
  base: process.env.BASE_URL,
  mode: useHistory ? 'history' : 'hash',
  routes: [
    {
      path: ':day/:userId',
      name: 'UserProfile',
      component: () => import('@/components/UserProfile.vue'),
      props: paramsToPropsCaster({ 
        userId: Number,
        day: (val: string): Date => parse(val, 'yyyy-MM-dd', new Date()),
        // keys starting with 'query.${}' look at 'route.query.${}'
        'query.q': {
          type: Number,
          propKey: 'searchId'
        },
        // keys starting with 'params.${}' look at 'route.params${}' explicitly
        'params.ids': {
          type: (ids) => ids.map(id => parseInt(id)),
          propKey: 'ids'
        }
      })
    }
  ]
});
