vue-router-mock simplifies testing Vue components that rely on vue-router. It replaces the actual router instance with a mock, enabling controlled navigation and assertion of route-related behavior. This package provides a straightforward way to simulate route changes, access current route information, and verify the usage of router methods within components, eliminating the need for a fully configured router in testing environments, leading to faster and more predictable tests.
