Vue Js History mode is not removing # when using # ids in menu links – SEO

I am putting together a SPA using Vue with VueRouter. The site works and I am able to click the link and get to the menu items. I see in the url that the # still preceedes the link name. For example, if I click on Services in the menu, the url states https://sitename.com/#services
I am using mode: ‘history’ which is supposed to take care of this but, I believe I am missing something. If anyone can look over my code and help me out with this, I would sure appreciate it. Thank you.

In my root directory, I have the router.js

import Vue from 'vue';
import VueRouter from 'vue-router';

Vue.use(VueRouter);

function load(componentName) {
    return () => import(`@/components/${componentName}`);
}

const router = new VueRouter({
    mode: 'history',
    routes: [
        {
            path: '/',
            name: 'Home',
            component: load('Home')
        }
        ,
        {
            path: '/services',
            name: 'Services',
            component: load('Services')
        },
        {
            path: '/portfolio',
            name: 'Portfolio',
            component: load('Portfolio')
        },
        {
            path: '/about',
            name: 'About',
            component: load('About')
        },
        {
            path: '/team',
            name: 'Team',
            component: load('Team')
        },
        {
            path: '/contact',
            name: 'Contact',
            component: load('Contact')
        },
        {
            path: '/privacy',
            name: 'Privacy',
            component: load('Privacy')
        },
        {
            path: '/success',
            name: 'Success',
            component: load('Success')
        }
    ]
});

export default router;

in my source directory and within components, I have the Nav.vue component
You can see I am using a conditional that says if the index of 0 is # etc. Which I thought was supposed to eliminate the hash but it does not.

Nav.vue

<template>
  <div>
    <nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-dark fixed-top" id="mainNav">

    ]
  })
};
</script>
<style lang="">

export default {};

<style>
#app {

Vue.config.productionTip = false
Vue.use(VueResource);


new Vue({
  router,
  render: h => h(App),

For the sake of space, I will only show the minimum of the Home.vue component

Again, thank you for looking at this as I am new to VueJS and learning.

    it bcs your tag contain # in a href=”#”.

    its not part VueRouter, you need to remove it and make new function to scroll to specific area or div.

    let say:

    <a class="btn tell-me btn-xl text-uppercase js-scroll-trigger" href="#services">Tell Me More</a>

    You need to remove the ‘#’ inside the ‘href’ then add @click=”goToSection(‘yourAreaWantToJump’)”
    then need to add scroller to specific div. in this case u need to scroll to section ‘services’

    In Nav.vue your navList array containing the paths has a #. The paths has to be identical with the path you defined on your router.js. Try changing your array

    from:

    navList: [
      {
        name: "Services",
        path: "#services"
      },
      {
        name: "Portfolio",
        path: "#portfolio"
      },
      {
        name: "About",
        path: "#about"
      },
      {
        name: "Team",
        path: "#team"
      },
      {
        name: "Contact",
        path: "#contact"
      }
    ]

    to

    navList: [
      {
        name: "Services",
        path: "/services"
      },
      {
        name: "Portfolio",
        path: "/portfolio"
      },
      {
        name: "About",
        path: "/about"
      },
      {
        name: "Team",
        path: "/team"
      },
      {
        name: "Contact",
        path: "/contact"
      }
    ]

    if you can’t modify the array try modifing the string like:

    <router-link :to="linkObj.path.replace('#','/')">{{ linkObj.name }}</router-link>

    Conclusion

    For routing Navigation to render other components in the <router-view /> tag, try to use exclusive the <router-link to="/path"> tag. The <a href="/path"> tag will also navigate you but this will reload the page.

    If you want to navigate to anchors in your page you can still use the <a href="#anchorId">
