I'm trying to have the navigation on my Vue app to have a main menu up top populated by all the root level routes, and a side menu if the route has any children. Like so:
The current Design I have has the main navigation with routing links on the top with the router-view below. I have been able to get the side menu working so it it only shows up when I choose Travellers and updates the components/content correctly. However I'm having trouble routing things correctly, when I click on one of the links in the sub menu it does not append to the current path. So when I click on View when I'm in localhost/Traveler and click View the url changes to localhost/View/ instead of localhost/Traveler/View. Also the selection on the top menu gets unselected when I choose something in the child menu.
And I cannot get to the pages via something like localhost/Traveler/View only localhost/View
I started rereading the documentation on nested routes as I began making this post and I think I realized that I should be creating an new router at each level which is not something I have done in my code below.
I'm also not sure how to access the children of the current route. I've tried to display them like so:
<h2>Route: {{ $route.name }}</h2>
<ul id=example-1>
<li v-for=child in $route.children>
{{ child.name }}
</li>
</ul>
But I get nothing. Should they be passed as Params or something? Or are the not that easily accessible?
Any advice or help will be greatly appreciated.
