Quick solution:
projectDetails.vue
<template>
<div>
<div>
<h1>{{ projectDetails.title }}</h1>
<p>{{ projectDetails.description }}</p>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import json from '@/json/projectDetails.json';
export default {
name: 'projectDetails',
props: {
name: String,
},
data() {
return {
projectDetails: Object.values(json).find(project => project.title === this.name),
};
},
};
</script>
In my opinion, a better solution:
I don't get the idea that you keep project data in 2 separate JSON files. During compilation, both files are saved to the resulting JavaScript file. Isn't it better to keep this data in 1 file? You don't have to use all of your data in one place. The second thing, if you have a project listing then you can do routing with an optional segment, and depending on whether the segment has a value or not, display the listing or data of a particular project. Then you load project data only in one place, and when one project is selected, pass its data to the data rendering component of this project. Nowhere else do you need to load this JSON file.
routes.js

{path: '/', name: 'home', component: home},

{path: '/work/:name?', name: 'work', component: work, props: true},
];
export default routes;

Great work thus far, Austin! You're very close having this working. There are a few different ways you could parse out the correct data from your JSON file into the projectDetails component, but I'll just demo my preferred way.
First, you're going to need a bit of vanilla JS to search through your JSON file and return only the row that you want. I would do this as a method since the data isn't going to be changing or requiring the component to re-render. So, after your props, I would add something like this:
methods: {
findProject(projectName) {
return Object.values(json).find(project => project.title === projectName)
}
}
Note that this is going to return the first project that matches the project name. If you have projects with the exact same project name, this won't work.
Next, you'll just need to update the default value of projectDetailsJson to call this method and pass the route's project name. Update data with something like this:
data() {
return {
projectDetailsJson: this.findProject(this.$route.params.name)
}
}
If that doesn't work, we may need to set the projectDetailsJson in the created lifecycle hook, but try the above code first.
