history mode for web and not for cordova

[smakinson]

Is anyone doing this? Is it as simple as using Platform.is.cordova to set the history mode on the router? Any quirks to be aware of?

I haven’t tried doing this myself but I can’t immediately think of a reason that this would not work. I would suggest giving it a try and let me know if there are any errors with it.

[smakinson]

Matt, thanks for the reply. I’ll give it a go in the project I am about to start and post my findings.

Yes, I did : mode: (Platform.is.cordova ? ‘’ : ‘history’).
Works perfectly

Thanks Nicholas for your confirmation.

// VueRouter "history" mode DOESN'T works for Cordova builds, it is only to be used only for websites.
// If you decide to go with "history" mode, please also open /config/index.js and set "build.publicPath" to something other than an empty string. (Example: '/' instead of current '')
// If switching back to default "hash" mode, don\'t forget to set the build publicPath back to '' so Cordova builds work again.

So, is need change the /config/index.js file too. How get Platform.is.cordova value inside this file?

@philliperosario Do you find issues in cordova if publicPath is set to ‘/’ ? I have yet to get that far, so I’d be interested to know.

@smakinson So far, no error!

I am seeing problems with assets in the statics directory.

I am looking for a way to flag the build so that config/index.js can react to it and use “” or “/” as needed. My first thought is to pass a 3rd arg to the build like:

quasar build mat cordova

but its not picking up that last arg, so I’m assuming the build script must not pass it along.

@rstoenescu If you have a moment do you have an opinion on this? It will be appreciated!

node build/script.build.js ios cordova

Does the trick for getting arg[3], but it seems this is not helping with the statics not being found in the emulator. Hmm
