Store a map for customized paths

[rchl]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

To solve issues like #641, #710, #735, #1254 and #1177, we would need to create and expose a list of customized paths. The knowledge of which paths are customized would allow short-cutting some cases or handle them in a special way.

Describe the solution you'd like

Internally there should be a list of customized paths in a format that is quick to look up and be as compact as possible, size-wise.

Describe alternatives you've considered

No alternative.

Additional context

This concerns the pages option and custom component options specified through the nuxtI18n option.

Hello,

@rchl is using something like flexsearch would be the best solution to store/search paths?

Thanks!

At first sight it doesn't seem to be super fitting as I don't think we'll need full text capabilities like that here. We just need to be able to lookup route.name => route.path and route.path => route.name. At least as far as I remember this issue...

There is a light version as well which is stripped down version (flexsearch.light.js 2.9 kb)

And custom settings for that route as well (in component option).

Thanks!

#1254 concerns dynamic routes. Would need to investigate how would that have to be handled even when having a mapping of sorts.

@rchl I'd gladly help but not sure where to start and what needs to be done. Can you give you some ideas?

I will try my best.

Thanks!

I've started working on it on the https://github.com/nuxt-community/i18n-module/commits/fix/no-prefix-rename branch but I remember leaving it in a pretty unfinished state.

I think there is quite a lot left to do but I won't give you any pointers as I don't remember much now. I'm not even sure if the approach I was experimenting with is even good and would solve all the issues...

Closing this as v7 is not being actively worked on (critical hotfixes only), if this still applies to v8 and later please open a new issue!
