Can't get rid of vue-router

[elias p]

Hi,

quasar - 1.0.0-beta.4 / @quasar/app - 1.0.0-beta.8

My application doesn’t use the vue-router, it is not referenced in any file, still I can’t remove the directory “router”.
(node:19916) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open ‘D:\Documents…\src\router\index.js’.
Is it a necessary evil or I miss something?

Thanks in advance

Hmm. You don’t have any routes whatsoever? Vue is sort of a webframework, and webframeworks use things like URLs and webviews to collate information and display them to the user.

It’s no evil at all. Even if you don’t use router (that is you use only one route for the whole app) I don’t think it will affect anything (app speed, production package size etc.) So just don’t delete the router directory.

Simple apps may want to migrate, a simple router doesn’t ‘need’ the whole router folder and multiple routes but the toolchain seems to be hard coded (I’ll keep the opinions to myself). However, as a workaround, create/keep the /router folder with index.js/ts inside and inside that file…

import router from ‘…/router.js’ // or whereever you want to put it…
export default router;

Done, hard coded path averted.
