Programmatic Navigation in Vue with Vue Router

This challenge focuses on implementing programmatic navigation within a Vue.js application using Vue Router. Programmatic navigation is crucial for dynamically redirecting users based on application logic, such as after a successful form submission or authentication. You'll need to leverage the Vue Router instance to change the current route programmatically.

Problem Description

Your task is to create a Vue component that, upon a user interaction (e.g., clicking a button), navigates the user to a different predefined route within the application. This simulates real-world scenarios where actions trigger route changes.

Requirements:

1. Vue Component: Create a Vue component (e.g., NavigatorComponent.vue) that contains a button.
2. Programmatic Navigation: When the button is clicked, the component should programmatically navigate the user to a specific route.
3. Vue Router Integration: Assume a Vue application is set up with Vue Router, and the necessary routes are defined.
4. TypeScript: Implement the component and any associated logic using TypeScript.

Expected Behavior:

• When the user clicks the "Go to Profile" button in NavigatorComponent.vue, the application should navigate to the /profile route.
• When the user clicks the "Go to About" button, the application should navigate to the /about route.

Edge Cases:

• Consider what happens if the target route does not exist (though for this challenge, we'll assume the routes exist).
• How would you handle navigation with parameters? (This is an advanced consideration, but good to keep in mind).

Examples

Example 1: Navigating to a static route

Input:
- A Vue component `NavigatorComponent.vue` with a button labeled "Go to Profile".
- Vue Router configured with at least a `/profile` route.

Output:
- Clicking the "Go to Profile" button in the rendered `NavigatorComponent.vue` redirects the user to the `/profile` page.

Explanation:
The `NavigatorComponent.vue` component will have a method that uses `this.$router.push('/profile')` or `router.push('/profile')` (if using the Composition API with `useRouter`) to trigger the navigation.

Example 2: Navigating to another static route

Input:
- The same setup as Example 1, but with an additional button labeled "Go to About".
- Vue Router configured with at least an `/about` route.

Output:
- Clicking the "Go to About" button redirects the user to the `/about` page.

Explanation:
Similar to Example 1, a separate method or the same method with conditional logic will handle navigation to `/about`.

Constraints

• The Vue application should be set up using Vue CLI or Vite.
• Vue Router version 4.x should be used.
• The solution must be implemented in TypeScript.
• The navigation must be purely programmatic (i.e., not using <router-link>).

Notes

• You'll need to access the Vue Router instance within your component. For the Options API, this is typically done via this.$router. For the Composition API, you'll use the useRouter composable.
• The push() method of the router instance is commonly used for navigation. Consider researching router.replace() as well for scenarios where you don't want to leave a history entry.
• Think about how you would organize your routing and components in a typical Vue application structure. You'll likely need a basic App.vue, a router/index.ts file, and placeholder components for your target routes (e.g., Profile.vue, About.vue).
