vue.jsHow can I use Vue.js to implement browser history back navigation?

Vue.js provides the router library that can be used to implement browser history back navigation. The router library provides the beforeEach navigation guard which can be used to detect navigation changes. The beforeEach navigation guard can be used to detect navigation changes and then programmatically call the router.go() method to navigate back in the browser history.

For example:

router.beforeEach((to, from, next) => {
  if (to.path === '/back') {
    router.go(-1);
  }
  next();
});

This code will navigate back in the browser history when the /back route is visited.

Parts of the code:

• router: The Vue.js router library
• beforeEach: Navigation guard that is called before every navigation change
• to.path: Path of the route that is being navigated to
• router.go(-1): Method to programmatically navigate back in the browser history
