Unable to use definePageMeta for error page

[danielroe]

The error page isn't a page/route and it is displayed no matter what page/route you are on. It does not support definePageMeta.

What are you trying to achieve?

[jd-solanki]

I'm building admin template and levaraging error.vue as my 404 page mainly. In my admin template, I have several route meta that allows you to customize the each route:

View my projects' route metas

Name	Description	Type
action?	CASL action for the route	string
subject?	CASL subject for the route	string
layoutWrapperClasses?	Adds class to the layout wrapper div	string
navActiveLink?	Allow highlighting link which is not the active link in the navigation menu of the admin	RouteLocationRaw
layout?	'blank' | 'default' - you are aware of it	string
redirectIfLoggedIn?	Redirect the user to the home page if this boolean is true (login & register pages)	boolean

ATM, I want to:

1. set layout to blank for 404 page (I can wrap the page with NuxtLayout as per docs as a workaround)
2. set action for access control
3. set subject for access control

According to best of my knowledge nuxt uses error.vue for 404 page, right?

[danielroe]

Yes, error.vue is used for displaying errors. Like app.vue, it's global and not specific to any page/route.

You can trap the relevant route meta in a plugin and raise an error manually in case the route meta is ‘blank’, It will open the 404 page automatically.

Coming from Vue, I thought of error.vue as a page but it's something else in nuxt. Closing this as this is how nuxt behaves.
