When to use it

• When setting up a new Vue application with multiple pages or sections.
• When optimizing performance by implementing lazy loading for routes.
• When managing complex navigation logic such as authentication checks or route transitions.
• When ensuring consistent and scalable routing structures in large-scale applications.

Key capabilities

• Guidance on organizing route files and configurations.
• Techniques for lazy loading components to improve load times.
• Implementation of navigation guards for access control.
• Best practices for handling nested routes and dynamic segments.

Example prompts
