How can I fetch query parameters in Vue.js?

E.g. http://somesite.com?test=yay.

More detailed answer to help the newbies of VueJS:

• First define your router object, select the mode you seem fit. You can declare your routes inside the routes list.
• Next you would want your main app to know router exists, so declare it inside the main app declaration .
• Lastly they $route instance holds all the information about the current route. The code will console log just the parameter passed in the url. (*Mounted is similar to document.ready , .ie its called as soon as the app is ready)

And the code itself:

var router = new VueRouter({
    mode: 'history',
    routes: []
});
var vm =  new Vue({
    router,
    el: '#app',
    mounted: function() {
        q = this.$route.query.q
        console.log(q)
    },
});
