I want to get the name of the current route of vue-router, i have a component menu with navigation to another componentes, so i want to dispaly the name of the current route. I have this:

created(){
    this.currentRoute;
    //this.nombreRuta = this.$route.name;
},
computed:{
    currentRoute:{
        get(){
            this.nombreRuta = this.$route.name;
        }
    }
}

But the label of the name of the route does not change, the label only show the name of the first loaded route. Thank You

You are using computed incorrectly. You should return the property in the function. See the docs for more information.

Here is your adapted example:

computed: {
    currentRouteName() {
        return this.$route.name;
    }
}

You can then use it like this:

<div>{{ currentRouteName }}</div>

You can also use it directly in the template without using a computed property, like this:

<div>{{ $route.name }}</div>
