I am creating my design portfolio using Vue CLI 3. The architecture of my website is very simple. I have a home page, about page, work page, and several individual project pages:
The work page consists of several links that would click through to the individual project pages. The work component is set up like so:
<template>
<div>
<projectLink v-for="data in projectLinkJson" />
</div>
</template>
<script>
import projectLink from '@/components/projectLink.vue'
import json from '@/json/projectLink.json'
export default {
name: 'work',
data(){
return{
projectLinkJson: json
}
},
components: {
projectLink
}
}
</script>
As you can see, I'm importing JSON to dynamically render the content. Next, the projectLink component can be seen in the code block below. Within this component I am passing a param into <router-link> called projectName
<template>
<router-link :to="{ name: 'projectDetails', params: { name: projectName }}">
<h1>{{ title }}</h1>
</router-link>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: 'projectLink',
props: {
title: String,
projectName: String
}
}
</script>
My routes.js file is setup like so:
const routes = [
{ path: '/', component: home },
{ path: '/about', component: about },
{ path: '/work', component: work },
{
path: "/work/:name",
name: "projectDetails",
props: true,
component: projectDetails
},
];
and my JSON is like so:
{
"0": {
"title": "test",
"projectName": "test"
}
}
Lastly, my projectDetails component is the component that is where I am having this issue:
<template>
<div>
<div
v-for="(data,index) in projectDetailsJson" v-if="index <= 1">
<h1>{{ data.title }}</h1>
<p>{{ data.description }}</p>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import json from '@/json/projectDetails.json'
export default {
name: 'projectDetails',
data(){
return{
projectDetailsJson: json
}
},
props: {
description: String,
title: String
}
}
</script>
I am successfully routing to the URL I want, which is /project/'name'. I want to use the projectDetails component as the framework for each of my individual project pages. But how do I do this dynamically? I want to retrieve data from a JSON file and display the correct object from the array based on the name that was passed to the URL. I do not want to iterate and have all of the array display on the page. I just want one project to display.
projectDetails.vue
<template>
<div>
<div>
<h1>{{ projectDetails.title }}</h1>
<p>{{ projectDetails.description }}</p>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import json from '@/json/projectDetails.json';
export default {
name: 'projectDetails',
props: {
name: String,
},
data() {
return {
projectDetails: Object.values(json).find(project => project.title === this.name),
};
},
};
</script>
I don't get the idea that you keep project data in 2 separate JSON files. During compilation, both files are saved to the resulting JavaScript file. Isn't it better to keep this data in 1 file? You don't have to use all of your data in one place. The second thing, if you have a project listing then you can do routing with an optional segment, and depending on whether the segment has a value or not, display the listing or data of a particular project. Then you load project data only in one place, and when one project is selected, pass its data to the data rendering component of this project. Nowhere else do you need to load this JSON file.

{path: '/', name: 'home', component: home},

export default routes;
