[Feature request] displayName aside of name

[ozooxo]

Is it possible to define

<router>
  {
    name: 'my unique customized name',
    displayName: 'My Display Name'
  }
</router>

as by using name I cannot have duplicated names? Imaging that I have multiple pages name "settings" for various different proposes, when I am generating a navigation bar I have no need to specify them (as what setting it belongs to can be found from the other part of the navigation bar). However, if I call all of them "settings" I'll get an error:

 WARN  [vue-router] Duplicate named routes definition: { name: "Settings", path: "/path/to/some/settings" }

and potentially I may confuse nuxt in <nuxt-link> block if I use name.

Thanks!

Hi @ozooxo

I am not sure to understand the need of multiple pages with the same name.

Could you give us a concrete example?

[ozooxo]

Yup.

So imaging that I have a hierarchical structure set of pages which includes my_repo > settings and my_user_account > settings. When I am displaying I want my_repo and my_user_account to point to the parent page, and the child page should only names as settings as it is obvious the settings belong to whom. However, by doing so I got a name conflict because both pages are named settings.

I also agree with this because when using the i18n-module, the named route gets changed to something like namedRoute__en depending on the current language.

never mind on this, i can just utilize the meta field for this.
