Conditional <router-link> in Vue.js dependant on prop value?
The problem is that router-link
renders as an html anchor tag, and anchor tags do not support the disabled
attribute. However you can add tag="button"
to router-link
:
<router-link :to="myLink" tag="button" :disabled="isDisabled" >
Vue will then render your link as a button, which naturally supports the disabled
attribute. Problem solved! The downside is that you have to provide additional styling to make it look like a link. However this is the best way to achieve this functionality and does not rely on any pointer-events
hack.
Assuming you want to disable anchor tag as in not clickable and look disabled the option is using CSS. isActive should return true by checking prop id.
<router-link class="Card__link" v-bind:class="{ disabled: isActive }" :to="{ name: 'Property', params: { id: id }}">
<h1 class="Card__title">{{ title }}</h1>
<p class="Card__description">{{ description }}</p>
</router-link>
<style>
.disabled {
pointer-events:none;
opacity:0.6;
}
<style>
If you want to just disable the navigation , you can use a route guard.
beforeEnter: (to, from, next) => {
next(false);
}
If you need to use it often, consider this:
Create new component
<template>
<router-link
v-if="!disabled"
v-bind="$attrs"
>
<slot/>
</router-link>
<span
v-else
v-bind="$attrs"
>
<slot/>
</span>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: 'optional-router-link',
props: {
params: Object,
disabled: {
type: Boolean,
default: false,
},
},
};
</script>
Optional, register globally:
Vue.component('optional-router-link', OptionalRouterLink);
Use it as follows:
<optional-router-link
:disabled="isDisabled"
:to="whatever"
>
My link
</optional-router-link>
