Ready to level up your routing game in Vue.js? Imagine a world where you don't have to manually map every route and component — unplugin-vue-router makes it happen! In this course, we’re diving into the magic of file-based routing, just like Nuxt.js, but for vanilla Vue. You’ll set up routes effortlessly, enjoy type-safe routing (hello, TypeScript!), and experience the joy of autocompletion and intellisense. Whether you're a Vue Router newbie or a Vue pro, get ready to save time, cut out errors, and enjoy a smoother dev experience!

What is unplugin-vue-router?

In Vue.js development, routing is a core feature for building Single Page Apps (SPAs) and linking your pages, but managing routes manually can become a headache—especially as your project grows. That's where unplugin-vue-router comes in! This Vite plugin allows you to implement file-based routing in your Vue project, much like how Nuxt.js handles routes. With it, you won’t need to worry about manually mapping each component to a route. Instead, it auto-generates routes based on your file structure, saving you time and eliminating tedious errors.

This plugin not only speeds up development but also provides type-safe routes—a lifesaver for TypeScript users, ensuring smooth, error-free navigation.
