Code Setup

API Call Setup

This project calls an API of my own. You can replace the API url with any API returning any amount of HTML.

To do so you can edit the url in "_route2.vue" which lies in the directory below :

/pages/_route1/_route2.vue

To test my API, these are valid routes :

http://localhost:3000/vuejs/1
http://localhost:3000/vuejs/2

Whereas testing this route http://localhost:3000/vuejs/3 or any other number other than 1 or 2 leads to an error, as my API returns 404 (Not Found).

Routing Errror Handling

Whenever an error occurs in routing, the user gets redirected to the Error page via the asyncData function.

asyncData ({ params, error }) {
      return axios.get(url)
        .then((response) => {
            // Do something
            return {
            // Return some parameters into the data object of your component
          }
        })
        .catch(() => {
            // Render the error page
            error({
            statusCode: 404,
            message: 'Post Not Found'
            })
        })
    }
