Pagination files/folder duplicated code between root and pages?

I have been working with nuxt 3 and nuxt content and trying to add pagination. from the picture you can see my rough outline of the folders/pages. I am wondering is there a way to make the /blog/index the same as /blog/page/1 so I don't have to duplicate code between the 2 different pages? I have been trying to find if there is a more intuitive way to accomplish this and saw some posts online about a 301 redirect but they all had other ways which didn't work in my project. I expect the pages to look something like the following. /blog/ - Root which shows all blog posts with pagination (really just /blog/page/1) /blog/2024/05/01 - A single blog post /blog/page/2 - Page 2

You can add an index.vue to /blog and create a component that is being used from within this index.vue and /blog/page/[page]. Or, you can redirect from /blog(/index.vue) to /blog/page/1 if you don't mind. I am not sure if aliases could help you here too:
/**
* Aliases for the record. Allows defining extra paths that will behave like a
* copy of the record. Allows having paths shorthands like `/users/:id` and
* `/u/:id`. All `alias` and `path` values must share the same params.

alias?: string | string[];

What would be considered more standard? I am somewhat new to nuxt so trying to do things in a way that make most sense

Is there a reason why you’re opting to use subpages for that kind of pagination instead of query parameters?

Just basing things off tutorials I have seen

I see. For simplicity use a query parameter and treat the page number as a state since that’s what it is Don’t complicate your work

Would you happen to have an example of what that would look like? That is what I was initially thinking but everthing I found showed it set up like I have it in my initial post I come from c# land with asp.net so lots of the stuff in js/typescript is new to me

Follow @Single’s suggestion of creating an index file in the blog folder One moment

InsightOP8mo ago
I have that, the index you see at the bottom is inside the blog folder. but all the stuff I have seen is to use the folders and slugs for things like the pages of blog posts

@Insight https://stackblitz.com/edit/github-ovypvr?file=pages%2Fblog%2Findex.vue,app.vue PS: you don't need the catch-all route for the single blog post page. You can see from the structure in the link I've shared

intersting, so 2 questions from that. 1. the goToPage doesn't appear to change the actual url itself, is it supposed to? 2. First time seeing the +() from a quick search is it just trying to turn it into a number?

1. it does. I'm just not sure how the preview window in Stackblitz handles it. you can try it locally 2. yeahh. type coercion 😃 using the url to manage the state is just one way. there're other ways, but url as a state manager seems to be getting a comeback with web apps

Thanks! I haven't been able to get to this just yet... I have been so busy... I plan to give it a try soon though!

@pyplacca I got it working, however I am running into a situation where I have to call refreshNuxtData() here is the code. Is ther a way to make it refresh with out using that? Or is that expected to be used in a situation like this?
<script setup lang="ts">
const pageSize = 1;
const page = computed(() => +(useRoute().query.page || 1));

const route = useRoute();
const count = await queryContent('/blog').sort({ _path: -1 }).count()
const { data } = await useAsyncData(() => queryContent('/blog').limit(pageSize).skip((page.value - 1) * pageSize).sort({ _path: -1 }).find());



async function goToPage(n: number) {

if(n == 1){
navigateTo(`/blog`, { replace: true });
} else {
navigateTo(`?page=${n}`, { replace: true });
}


const data = await queryContent('/blog').limit(pageSize).skip((n - 1) * pageSize).sort({ _path: -1 }).find();
refreshNuxtData();
}
</script>

Add the page as a watch dependency

Also, if your ever need to trigger a refresh, you can use the execute or refresh method the composable returns
