Cannot Remove Underline From Vue router-link

Question

I think I tried almost everything trying to remove underline from router-link.

This is my code:

<router-link :to="{name: 'Plan'}">
   <div>Plan Your Trip</div>
      <div class='expander'>
      <router-link :to="{name: 'Plan'}">COVID-19</router-link>
      <router-link :to="{name: 'Plan'}">Visa</router-link>
      <router-link :to="{name: 'Plan'}">Essentials</router-link>
   </div>
</router-link>

I'm trying to remove underline from sub-links only.

Things I've tried:

In-line style

<router-link style="text-decoration: none !important;" :to="{name: 'Plan'}">COVID-19</router-link>

Assign class

<router-link class="sub-link" :to="{name: 'Plan'}">COVID-19</router-link>

<style scoped>
   .sub-link{text-decoration: none !important;}
</style>

Declare tag

<router-link tag="div" :to="{name: 'Plan'}">COVID-19</router-link>

<style scoped>
   div{text-decoration: none !important;}
</style>

Assign seperate tag + Declare class for that tag

<router-link :to="{name: 'Plan'}">
   <div class="sub-link">COVID-19</div>
</router-link>

These are just few lists, I literally tried every possible methods I can think of... Am I missing something about customizing Vue router-link?

Answer 1

Uses display: inline-block;text-decoration:none;, the trick is display: inline-block;.

Css spec states

For block containers that establish an inline formatting context, the decorations are propagated to an anonymous inline element that wraps all the in-flow inline-level children of the block container. For all other elements it is propagated to any in-flow children. Note that text decorations are not propagated to floating and absolutely positioned descendants, nor to the contents of atomic inline-level descendants such as inline blocks and inline tables.

Example: The link COVID-19 in your codes will remove the underline.

<router-link :to="{name: 'Plan'}">
   <div>Plan Your Trip</div>
      <div class='expander'>
      <router-link :to="{name: 'Plan'}" style="display: inline-block;text-decoration:none;">COVID-19</router-link>
      <router-link :to="{name: 'Plan'}">Visa</router-link>
      <router-link :to="{name: 'Plan'}">Essentials</router-link>
   </div>
</router-link>

Below is one demo:

let Layout = {
  template: `<div>
  <h4>Layout Page </h4>
  <router-link to="/contact">
  <div>
    <p>Links<p>
    <router-link to="/contact/add" style="display: inline-block;text-decoration:none;">Add1</router-link>
    <router-link to="/addcontact">Add2</router-link>
  </div>
  </router-link>
  <router-view></router-view>
  </div>`
};
let Home = {
  template: '<div>this is the home page. Go to <router-link to="/contact">contact</router-link> </div>'
};

let ContactList = {
  // add <router-view> in order to load children route of path='/contact'
  template: '<div>this is contact list, click <router-link to="/contact/add">Add Contact In sub Router-View</router-link> here to add contact<p><router-view></router-view></p> Or Click <router-link to="/addcontact">Add Contact In Current Router-View</router-link></div>'
};

let ContactAdd = {
  template: '<div>Contact Add</div>'
}

let router = new VueRouter({
  routes: [{
    path: '/',
    redirect: 'home',
    component: Layout,
    children: [{
        path: 'home',
        component: Home
      },
      {
        path: 'contact',
        component: ContactList,
        children: [{
          path: 'add',
          component: ContactAdd
        }]
      },
      {
        path: 'addcontact', // or move ContactAdd as direct child route of path=`/`
        component: ContactAdd,
      }
    ]
  }]
});

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  components: {
    'App': {
      template: '<div><router-view></router-view></div>'
    },
  },
  router
});
