How to fix the flickering of GET parameters in the address bar in Laravel Jetstream and Vue.js?

To fix the flickering of GET parameters in the address bar when using Laravel Jetstream and Vue.js, you can follow these steps:

  1. Use Vue Router instead of Laravel's default routing system. Laravel's default routing system may cause the flickering issue due to its way of handling GET parameters. Vue Router, on the other hand, is designed to work seamlessly with Vue.js and can handle dynamic routes and GET parameters more efficiently.

To install Vue Router, you can use npm or yarn:

npm install vue-router

# or

yarn add vue-router
  1. Configure Vue Router in your main.js file:
import Vue from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import VueRouter from 'vue-router'
import routes from './routes'

Vue.use(VueRouter)

const router = new VueRouter({
    mode: 'history',
    routes,
})

new Vue({
    router,
    render: h => h(App),
}).$mount('#app')
  1. Define your routes in a routes.js file:
import Vue from 'vue'
import VueRouter from 'vue-router'

Vue.use(VueRouter)

const routes = [
    {
        path: '/dashboard',
        component: () => import('./components/Dashboard.vue'),
        meta: { requiresAuth: true },
    },
    {
        path: '/profile/:id',
        component: () => import('./components/Profile.vue'),
        props: true,
        meta: { requiresAuth: true },
    },
]

export default new VueRouter({
    routes,
})
  1. Pass the router instance to your App.vue file:
import Vue from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import router from './router'

new Vue({
    router,
    render: h => h(App),
}).$mount('#app')
  1. Use the router instance to navigate programmatically:

Instead of using Laravel's default routing system, use Vue Router's push method to navigate to new routes and pass any GET parameters as query objects.

this.$router.push({ name: 'profile', params: { id: 123 }, query: { search: 'laravel' } })

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the flickering of GET parameters in the address bar when using Laravel Jetstream and Vue.js.
