This is an example about using Vue3 routing mechanism on uibuilder v.5.1.1, with the new uibuilder.iife library.
The example is aimed to show 2 different scenarios:
- changing the route view from the app, by clicking on the buttons;
- changing the route view from a Node Red flow, by injecting a message with a
topicofrouter/switchand the route path inmsg.payload. This can be useful to switch the Dashboard on a specific page when an important event happens in the flows.
The route files (.vue) are stored in the folder: ./routes/
