vue.js – Organize big single page application with multiple views

Nested subviews can be resolved by using v-view and v-ref.

html

<div id="main">
    <div v-view="currentView" v-ref="view"></div>
</div>
<ul>
    <li><a href="#/">top</a></li>
    <li><a href="#/nest/view1">nest/view1</a></li>
    <li><a href="#/nest/view2">nest/view2</a></li>
</ul>

<script id="top" type="x-template">
    <div>top view</div>
</script>

<script id="nest" type="x-template">
    <div>
        <span>nest view</span>
        <div v-view="subview"></div>
    </div>
</script>

javascript

Vue.component('top', Vue.extend({
    template: "#top",
}));

Vue.component('nest', Vue.extend({
    template: '#nest',
    components: {
        view1: Vue.extend({
            template: '<span>this is subview 1</span>',
        }),
        view2: Vue.extend({
            template: '<span>this is subview 2</span>',
        }),
    },
    data: {
        subview: "view1",
    },
}));

var main = new Vue({
    el: "#main",
    data: {
        currentView: "top",
    },
});

var router = new Router({
    "https://stackoverflow.com/":        function() { main.currentView = 'top' },
    '/nest/:view': function(view) {
        main.currentView = 'nest';
        main.$.view.subview = view;
    },
});
router.init();
