Expose a way to get a route base

[trandaison]

Describe the feature

We already have getRouteBaseName() to get the base name of current (or given) route. It would be useful if we have a similar getRouteBase(localizedRoute?: Route | RouteLocationNormalizedLoaded) function to un-localize a route.

Additional information

• [ ] Would you be willing to help implement this feature?
• [ ] Could this feature be implemented as a module?

Final checks

• [X] Read the contribution guide (The contribution guideline of nuxt-modules/i18n is compliant with Nuxt too).
• [X] Check existing discussions and issues.

I found this making my previous comment useless: I think this does what we want

Can you give an example of what you mean exactly? I may be misunderstanding but your description sounds similar to the useLocaleRoute composable.

for example, if the route object is something like this:

{
  fullPath: '/es/about',
  name: 'about___es',
  path: '/es/about',
  href: '/es/about',
  ...
}

then the getRouteBase method should return the unlocalized version of the given route object, that is:

{
  fullPath: '/about',
  name: 'about',
  path: '/about',
  href: '/about',
  ...
}

@HassanMojab exactly!

A composable that return base route from localized route.

[BobbieGoede]

Could you give an example of a use case for this functionality? Technically there are many situations in which the unlocalized routes do not exist when using Nuxt I18n.

In my case, I use the ContectDoc component from the nuxt-content package and want to query the correct md file from the current path. Since I use locale-based routing, I need a way to get the base path from the locale path to pass the ContentDoc:

<ContentDoc
  :query="{ where: [{ _locale: locale }] }"
  :path="routeBasePath"
/>
