How to inherit props from parent route with vue-router

I have the following router configuration and would like that the id of the main.parent route is converted to an integer and then passed into the child components (given props: true) for all child components.

{
  path: '/',
  component: GrandparentComponent,
  name: 'main',
  children: [{
    path: ':id',
    component: ParentComponent,
    name: 'main.parent',
    props: route => {
      return {
        // parse URL id to int
        id: parseInt(route.params.id, 10)
      };
    },

    children: [{
      path: 'details',
      name: 'main.parent.child',
      component: ChildComponent,
      props: true,
      children: [{
        ...
      }]
    }]
  }]
}

However, it seems as if the route function is only really called once (when evaluating /:id) and not when /:id/details is evaluated. The relevant code in vue-router seems to confirm this.

            const route = routeToDisplay.value;
            const matchedRoute = matchedRouteRef.value;
            const ViewComponent = matchedRoute && matchedRoute.components[props.name];
            // we need the value at the time we render because when we unmount, we
            // navigated to a different location so the value is different
            const currentName = props.name;
            if (!ViewComponent) {
                return normalizeSlot(slots.default, { Component: ViewComponent, route });
            }
            // props from route configuration
            const routePropsOption = matchedRoute.props[props.name];
            const routeProps = routePropsOption
                ? routePropsOption === true
                    ? route.params
                    : typeof routePropsOption === 'function'
                        ? routePropsOption(route)
                        : routePropsOption
                : null;
            ...
            const component = h(ViewComponent, assign({}, routeProps, attrs, {
                onVnodeUnmounted,
                ref: viewRef,
            }));
            ...

I wonder if anyone tried to solve the same problem and what they came up with a solution. Ideally, I'd like to avoid duplicating the props function for every child route.

0 TL;DR See working demo

I don't clearly understand what you are asking, but here is my understanding of your questions:

Is the route function called only once on the parent component and not on the children?
How to not repeat props function code for every child route
How to inherit props from parent component(s)

1: Nope, the route function will be called on each child route.

2: Abstract the function code

Instead of copy-pasting or repeating the function code, you can create a function and use that:

const parseUrlIdtoInt = (route) => ({ id: parseInt(route.params.id, 10) });

// ...
{
  path: '...'
  props: parseUrlIdtoInt,
  children: [
    {
      path: '...',
      props: parseUrlIdtoInt 
    }
  ] 
}
//...

3: Vue router passes down props

If the props property is specified in the router configuration, then Vue Router automatically passes down the props.

- With props option we enable passing props to the component - With function props we control how and what prop to pass

// Router configuration
{
  path: '...',
  name: '...',
  props: true // or a function 👈
  // ...
}

Your Solution

So in order to access id prop in your ChildComponent you can define props and use it:

Composition API

<script setup>
defineProps({ id: Number });
</script>

Options API

<script>
import { defineComponent } from 'vue';

export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    id: Number,
  },
});
</script>

Other non-so-recommended solutions 😁

If you don't want to define props, you can access the id with $attrs.id in the template.
Or you can use useRoute() function from Vue Router and access params:

<script setup>
import { useRoute } from 'vue-router'

const route = useRoute()
</script>

<template>
 {{ route.params.id }}
</template>

There's no such feature in Vue Router for passing props to child routes that way.

Instead, you could use provide/inject to effectively do this. The parent would provide the id property, and any descendant could inject it:

In ParentComponent.vue, use toRefs() on props to get a reactive ref to the id prop.
Use provide() to provide that id to any children (including child routes).
Apply a key on <router-view> to ensure the view is re-rendered based on the unique id.
In ChildComponent.vue, use the inject prop to inject the id from step 2.

// ParentComponent.vue
<script>
/* Composition API */
import { provide, toRefs } from 'vue'

export default {
  props: ['id'],
  setup(props) {
    const { id } = toRefs(props)
    provide('id', id)
  },
}

/* Options API */
import { toRefs } from 'vue'

export default {
  props: ['id'],
  provide() {
    const { id } = toRefs(this.$props)
    return { id }
  },
}
</script>

<template>
  <router-view :key="id" />
</template>

// ChildComponent.vue
<script>
export default {
  inject: ['id'],
}
</script>

<template>
  <h2>Detail {{ id }}</h2>
</template>
