Customize web page using query parameters with help of $route.query
VueJS offers the possibility to access query parameters so that you can customise a certain's page content based on the given parameters.
For instance, we have the following method and the following query parameters:
```
https://*link*?message=Custom+Message
```
```
getQuery() {
if (this.$route.query.message) {
this.queryMessage = this.$route.query.message
}
},
```
This method will set a variable according to the query parameter "message", that can be further used in the content of the page. For example in a heading:
```
<h1>{{ queryMessage }}</h1>
```
Also, by using the functionality of $router combined with "v-if", the user can render components conditionally.
```
getQuery() {
if (this.$route.query.icon) {
this.queryIcon = this.$route.query.icon === 'true'
}
},
```
```
<svg v-if="queryIcon">
```
Therefore, when parsing a query containing:
```
?icon=true
```
only then, the svg will be rendered.
