Roadmap to non-experimental 1.0?

[mseeley]

Typed routes is a massively helpful feature towards developer experience and early identification of coding errors. I thank all the maintainers for their effort.

I would like to share feedback and ask for clarification regarding the roadmap for this plugin.

• vue-router@4.1.0 in July 2022 released added typed route support via this plugin.
  • There have been > 30 releases for unplugin-vue-router since July 2022.
  • Regardless the plugin remains "experimental" in this repo and within Nuxt.
  • What is 1.0? Is there a timeline?
• What considerations have been made to integrate typed route generation into vue-router itself?
  • I've found it troublesome to educate our team around which useRouter should be imported in our projects (#vue-router, vue-router, vue-router/auto, #imports, etc...).
  • Personally, I'm feeling friction from:
    • lack of a single useRouter implementation and typing
    • unstable/experimental integration of typed routes our into applications
• Are there plans to separate the type safe routes into a standalone package/plugin, separate of the data loading and file-based routing?
  • Type safe routes, data loading, file-based routing, on the surface, read like 3 distinct vue-router plugins.

Is there a road to 1.0 that finalizes type safe routes independently of data loading and file-based routing?

Thank you.

I'm glad you find this helpful and thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it.
Currently, I plan to move the types to vue-router for better native integration and release as experimental there to gather feedback from the community. The goal is for it to become just a stable feature of vue router.
If that happens, it will be possible to split the plugin into 2 (file-based routing + data loaders). That being said, I plan to add other compilation-time improvements to vue-router through this plugin. They are all here right now because that's currently the only way to have them typed.

Regarding useRouter(), in vue apps, always import from vue-router/auto (until this becomes unnecessary and you can import from vue-router directly). In Nuxt, I'm not sure which one should be used, but I guess you don't import and use auto imports.

Regarding a timeline, I wish I could have one. The reality is life is rough for me right now, and I can't spend as much time as I want in the different parts of the Vue.js Ecosystem I maintain. I'm currently spending about 75% of my time in consulting + Mastering Pinia to pay the bills. I'm still trying to shift that by finding ways to get sponsoring from companies rather than individuals
