So when using Vue we don't particularly have a layout system either unless you're using something like Nuxt or Vite Plugin Vue Layouts both of which abstract the problem away with some magic. Unfortunately, Nuxt doesn't have fantastic JSX/TSX support with Nuxt3 as of yet and the Vite Plugin is currently only designed to handle Single File Components (SFCs), so for a JSX/TSX user such as myself this is untenable.
For the purposes of this article, we will assume that you are using JSX with Vue, although this is far from the norm it is my preference. If you find yourself using SFCs still, don't fear you can also still benefit from the code in this article which can be seen demonstrated at the example repository for this article.
Now that we have the logic for rendering a layout when supplied via getLayout we can use it in our pages. You can see this in action in the Stackblitz Playground below.
So to start, in the land of Vue we use Vue Router for routing. It is a first party plugin and solves all your routing needs, providing both Web History and Hash based routing. Additionally, it supports nested routes and router views.
