Exclude pages from nested routes

Hi guys, Is there a way to isolate pages in nested layouts? Example: [category]/data-reports/forecast - nested route [category]/data-reports/prices - nested route [category]/data-reports/forecast/[id] - not nested route [category]/data-reports/prices/[id] - not nested route Also, I tried: - Using the app/router.options.ts but it seems to override all my routes - Using the pages:extend hook, however, file routing seems to have priority over that hook. Maybe I am missing something, not sure if the support for this property can help to achieve this: #29366 I will appreciate any help or hint 🙏

Hi @LTroya. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Based on the knowledge sources provided, I can offer some insights on how to handle nested routes and exclude specific pages in Nuxt 3. However, the exact scenario you're describing isn't directly addressed in the given information. Let me provide some relevant information and potential approaches: 1. Custom Routing: Nuxt 3 allows you to customize routing beyond the default file-based system. You can use the router.options.ts file or the pages:extend hook to modify routes. However, as you've noticed, these methods can have limitations or unexpected behaviors. Custom Routing (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/recipes/custom-routing) explains that you can use the router.options.ts file to override or extend routes:

import type { RouterConfig } from '@nuxt/schema'

export default {
  routes: (_routes) => [
    // Your custom routes here
  ],
} satisfies RouterConfig

import type { RouterConfig } from '@nuxt/schema'

export default {
  routes: (_routes) => [
    // Your custom routes here
  ],
} satisfies RouterConfig

2. Pages Hook: The pages:extend hook can be used to add, change, or remove pages from the scanned routes. This might be helpful in your case:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  hooks: {
    'pages:extend' (pages) {
      // Modify pages array here
    }
  }
})

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  hooks: {
    'pages:extend' (pages) {
      // Modify pages array here
    }
  }
})

3. Catch-all Routes: For handling dynamic nested routes, you might consider using catch-all routes. As described in this Stack Overflow answer (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78241559), you can create a structure like this:

-| pages/
---| [category]/
------| [item]/
---------| [...slug].vue
------| index.vue

-| pages/
---| [category]/
------| [item]/
---------| [...slug].vue
------| index.vue

This structure could potentially help you handle the nested and non-nested routes you described. 4. Experimental Features: Nuxt 3 has some experimental features that might be relevant to your case: - inlineRouteRules: Allows defining route rules at the page level using defineRouteRules. Inline Route Rules (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/going-further/experimental-features#inlinerouterules) - scanPageMeta: Exposes some route metadata defined in definePageMeta at build-time. Scan Page Meta (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/going-further/experimental-features#scanpagemeta) These features might provide more control over your routing, but keep in mind they are experimental. Given the complexity of your specific use case, it might be worth exploring a combination of these approaches. If none of these solutions fully address your needs, you may need to create a more custom routing solution or consider filing an issue on the Nuxt GitHub repository for further assistance. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai can you add examples for the options 1,2,3?

kapa.ai•3mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Certainly! I'd be happy to provide examples for options 1, 2, and 3 based on the information from our knowledge sources. Let's go through each option: 1. Custom Routing using router.options.ts: Here's an example of how you might use app/router.options.ts to customize your routes:

import type { RouterConfig } from '@nuxt/schema'

export default {
  routes: (_routes) => [
    {
      name: 'category-data-reports',
      path: '/:category/data-reports',
      component: () => import('~/pages/[category]/data-reports.vue'),
      children: [
        {
          name: 'forecast',
          path: 'forecast',
          component: () => import('~/pages/[category]/data-reports/forecast.vue')
        },
        {
          name: 'prices',
          path: 'prices',
          component: () => import('~/pages/[category]/data-reports/prices.vue')
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      name: 'forecast-id',
      path: '/:category/data-reports/forecast/:id',
      component: () => import('~/pages/[category]/data-reports/forecast/[id].vue')
    },
    {
      name: 'prices-id',
      path: '/:category/data-reports/prices/:id',
      component: () => import('~/pages/[category]/data-reports/prices/[id].vue')
    }
  ],
} satisfies RouterConfig

import type { RouterConfig } from '@nuxt/schema'

export default {
  routes: (_routes) => [
    {
      name: 'category-data-reports',
      path: '/:category/data-reports',
      component: () => import('~/pages/[category]/data-reports.vue'),
      children: [
        {
          name: 'forecast',
          path: 'forecast',
          component: () => import('~/pages/[category]/data-reports/forecast.vue')
        },
        {
          name: 'prices',
          path: 'prices',
          component: () => import('~/pages/[category]/data-reports/prices.vue')
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      name: 'forecast-id',
      path: '/:category/data-reports/forecast/:id',
      component: () => import('~/pages/[category]/data-reports/forecast/[id].vue')
    },
    {
      name: 'prices-id',
      path: '/:category/data-reports/prices/:id',
      component: () => import('~/pages/[category]/data-reports/prices/[id].vue')
    }
  ],
} satisfies RouterConfig

This example defines the nested routes for /forecast and /prices under /data-reports, while keeping the /:id routes separate. 2. Using the pages:extend hook: Here's an example of how you might use the pages:extend hook in your nuxt.config.ts:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  hooks: {
    'pages:extend' (pages) {
      // Find the category page
      const categoryPage = pages.find(p => p.path === '/:category')
      if (categoryPage && categoryPage.children) {
        // Find the data-reports page
        const dataReportsPage = categoryPage.children.find(p => p.path === 'data-reports')
        if (dataReportsPage) {
          // Remove the [id] pages from children
          dataReportsPage.children = dataReportsPage.children?.filter(p => !p.path.includes('[id]'))
          
          // Add [id] pages as siblings to data-reports
          categoryPage.children.push(
            { path: 'data-reports/forecast/:id', file: '~/pages/[category]/data-reports/forecast/[id].vue' },
            { path: 'data-reports/prices/:id', file: '~/pages/[category]/data-reports/prices/[id].vue' }
          )
        }
      }
    }
  }
})

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  hooks: {
    'pages:extend' (pages) {
      // Find the category page
      const categoryPage = pages.find(p => p.path === '/:category')
      if (categoryPage && categoryPage.children) {
        // Find the data-reports page
        const dataReportsPage = categoryPage.children.find(p => p.path === 'data-reports')
        if (dataReportsPage) {
          // Remove the [id] pages from children
          dataReportsPage.children = dataReportsPage.children?.filter(p => !p.path.includes('[id]'))
          
          // Add [id] pages as siblings to data-reports
          categoryPage.children.push(
            { path: 'data-reports/forecast/:id', file: '~/pages/[category]/data-reports/forecast/[id].vue' },
            { path: 'data-reports/prices/:id', file: '~/pages/[category]/data-reports/prices/[id].vue' }
          )
        }
      }
    }
  }
})

This example modifies the page structure to move the [id] pages out of the nested structure. 3. Using catch-all routes: For this approach, you would structure your pages directory like this:

pages/
  [category]/
    data-reports/
      [...slug].vue
      forecast.vue
      prices.vue
    data-reports.vue

pages/
  [category]/
    data-reports/
      [...slug].vue
      forecast.vue
      prices.vue
    data-reports.vue

In your [...slug].vue file, you can handle both the nested and non-nested routes:

<template>
  <div>
    <template v-if="route.params.slug.length === 1">
      <!-- Handle forecast/[id] or prices/[id] -->
      <NuxtPage :page-key="route.params.slug[0]" />
    </template>
    <template v-else>
      <!-- Handle other cases -->
      <p>Invalid route</p>
    </template>
  </div>
</template>

<script setup>
const route = useRoute()
</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <template v-if="route.params.slug.length === 1">
      <!-- Handle forecast/[id] or prices/[id] -->
      <NuxtPage :page-key="route.params.slug[0]" />
    </template>
    <template v-else>
      <!-- Handle other cases -->
      <p>Invalid route</p>
    </template>
  </div>
</template>

<script setup>
const route = useRoute()
</script>

This setup allows you to catch all routes under data-reports and handle them accordingly. The forecast.vue and prices.vue files would handle the nested routes, while the [...slug].vue file would handle the [id] routes. Remember, these are examples based on the information provided and may need to be adjusted to fit your specific use case. The catch-all route approach (option 3) might be the most flexible for your scenario, as it allows you to handle various route structures within a single file.
