Vue, is there a way to pass data between routes without URL params?

Question

I am looking how to pass data secretly between two separate components (not parent and child) without using URL params in my Vue2 app. This doesn\'t mean I am passing secret

Answer 1

1. make props: true for the destination route -- in the index.js file of router

    {
      path: '/home',
      name: 'home',
      component: taskChooser,
      props: true,
      }

2. define prop in the component e.g props: ['myprop'], - note the quotes

3. copy the variable you want to pass from the source route into the same name as your prop - in this case myprop

myprop = theVariableThatYouWantToPass

this.$router.replace({name:'home', params:{myprop}});

Make sure that the name of prop and variable are same - the prop is in quotes.

It's working for me.
