Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, it seems you're experiencing an issue with page navigation in Nuxt. This problem can occur due to various reasons, but there are a few potential solutions we can explore:
1. Using
<NuxtLink> component:
Instead of using regular <a> tags for navigation, make sure you're using the <NuxtLink> component provided by Nuxt. This component is designed to handle client-side navigation without full page reloads.
Nuxt Docs on Routing states:
"The <NuxtLink> component links pages between them. It renders an <a> tag with the href attribute set to the route of the page. Once the application is hydrated, page transitions are performed in JavaScript by updating the browser URL. This prevents full-page refreshes and allows for animated transitions."
2. Proper usage of navigateTo:
If you're programmatically navigating, ensure you're using the navigateTo utility correctly. Always use await or return on the result of navigateTo when calling it.
Nuxt Docs on navigateTo provides this example:
3. Check for external links:
Make sure you're not accidentally treating internal links as external. The external parameter in navigateTo influences how URL navigation is handled.
4. Preloading route components:
You can try preloading route components to ensure they're available earlier and less likely to block navigation. Use the preloadRouteComponents utility as shown in the Nuxt Docs on preloadRouteComponents.
5. Investigate potential middleware issues:
If you're using route middleware, ensure it's implemented correctly. Incorrect implementation can lead to unexpected navigation behavior.
If you've already implemented these solutions and are still facing issues, it would be helpful to provide more specific details about your setup and the exact behavior you're experiencing. This would allow for a more targeted troubleshooting approach.
