Vue Router 3 is the official router for Vue 2, providing nested route mapping, route params, navigation guards, and HTML5 history/hash mode routing for single-page applications. Both Vue 2 and Vue Router 3 have reached end of life; new projects should use Vue Router 4 for Vue 3.

Use cases

• add client-side routing to a Vue 2 single-page app
• set up nested routes and named views in Vue 2
• implement navigation guards for auth in a Vue 2 app
• use HTML5 history mode routing with Vue 2
• lazy-load route components in a Vue 2 SPA
• maintain a legacy Vue 2 codebase that uses vue-router

When to choose

• you are maintaining or extending an existing Vue 2 application
• you need the battle-tested official router compatible with Vue 2.x
• you need Vue 2 transition-system-integrated route transitions

When to avoid

• you are starting a new project with Vue 3 - use Vue Router 4 (vuejs/router)
• you need a router for React, Angular, or non-Vue frameworks
• you need actively maintained software with security fixes
