Changing body styles in vue router
I'm using Vue router with two pages:
let routes = [
{
path: '/',
component: require('./components/HomeView.vue')
},
{
path: '/intro',
component: require('./components/IntroView.vue')
}
]
This works fine, except that each of my components has different body styling:
HomeView.vue:
<template>
<p>This is the home page!</p>
</template>
<script>
export default {
}
</script>
<style>
body {
background: red;
}
</style>
IntroView.vue:
<template>
<div>
<h1>Introduction</h1>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
}
</script>
<style>
body {
background: pink;
}
</style>
My goal is to have these two pages have different background styles (eventually with a transition between them). But at the moment when I go to the home route (with the red background), then click the intro route, the background colour stays red (I want it to change to pink).
Edit: index.html:
<body>
<div id="app">
<router-link to="/" exact>Home</router-link>
<router-link to="/intro">Introduction</router-link>
<router-view></router-view>
</div>
<script src="/dist/build.js"></script>
</body>
Answer
I got it working with the lifecycle hook beforeCreate and a global stylesheet. In global.css:
body.home {
background: red;
}
body.intro {
background: pink;
}
In the <script> section of HomeView.vue:
export default {
beforeCreate: function() {
document.body.className = 'home';
}
}
And similar in IntroView.vue.
