How to use router-link In Vue

We use the router-link component to create links to routes with specified query parameters. The “to” prop accepts an object with the path and query properties, allowing you to include query parameters.

Syntax:

<RouterLink :to="{ path: '/yourPath', query: { //yourParams } }" ></RouterLink>
