Solution

Your task was to add routes for the dashboard and login pages and to modify the src/layout/Layout.vue component to provide a layout component based on the meta.layout value specified in the routes. Here are the changes required:

For the src/router/index.js file:

  • Import Dashboard and Login components.
  • Add routes for the imported components.
  • The Dashboard route should include meta: { layout: ‘dashboard’ }.
  • The Login route should include meta: { layout: ‘auth’ }.

For the src/layout/Layout.vue file:

  • Create a LayoutComponentMap that maps layout components to dashboard and auth values that are provided through the meta route config.
  • Create a computed prop called layout that returns a layout component from the LayoutComponentsMap by accessing the route meta layout information. The DashboardLayout component should be returned by default if there’s no layout meta information.
