What does mean '#' in Vue Router URL?

Question

I am curious what does mean the hash in Vue Router URL? I see that I can use mode: 'history' to remove it, but what is the effective difference using it and not use it?

Answer 1

Vue uses the hash to stop the page from being reloaded whenever the URL changes. History mode removes this feature, but there are some configurations you need to consider.
