How to use nuxt-link tag in Buefy?

When integrating Nuxt.js with the Buefy framework for link functionality, we primarily utilize the Nuxt <nuxt-link> component. This component serves as an alternative to the traditional <a> tag in Nuxt.js projects for internal navigation, enabling seamless transitions between pages without full page reloads. <nuxt-link> leverages Vue.js Single Page Application (SPA) capabilities to achieve this.

Steps:

1. Integrate Buefy and Nuxt.js: Ensure Buefy is installed and configured in your Nuxt.js project. Typically, include Buefy in your nuxt.config.js file:

   javascript
   export default {
     buildModules: [
       // Integrate Buefy
       'nuxt-buefy',
     ],
     buefy: {
       /* Buefy options */
     }
   }

2. Use <nuxt-link> in Buefy Components: You can employ <nuxt-link> as a container or directly within Buefy components like buttons and menu items. Here are examples:

   Example 1 - Using <nuxt-link> in a Buefy Button:

   vue
   <template>
     <b-button tag="nuxt-link" to="/about">About Us</b-button>
   </template>

   In this example, <b-button> is a Buefy button component. Setting the tag attribute to nuxt-link renders it as a Nuxt link, while the to attribute specifies the target route path.

   Example 2 - Using <nuxt-link> in a Buefy Navbar:

   vue
   <template>
     <b-navbar>
       <div class="navbar-start">
         <b-navbar-item tag="nuxt-link" to="/">Home</b-navbar-item>
         <b-navbar-item tag="nuxt-link" to="/about">About</b-navbar-item>
       </div>
     </b-navbar>
   </template>

   Here, <b-navbar-item> is a Buefy navbar component. By setting it to nuxt-link, navigation avoids full page reloads and instead utilizes Vue.js routing for component switching.

The primary benefits of using <nuxt-link> include enhanced user experience through seamless navigation and improved frontend performance via asynchronous data loading and component caching. When integrating Buefy with Nuxt.js, this approach enables the creation of visually appealing and highly efficient Single Page Applications (SPAs).
