Enclosing a router-link tag in a button in vuejs
While the answers on here are all good, none seem to be the simplest solution. After some quick research, it seems that the real easiest way to make a button use vue-router is with the router.push call. This can be used within a .vue template like this:
<button @click="$router.push('about')">Click to Navigate</button>Super simple and clean. I hope someone else finds this useful!

@choasia's answer is correct.
Alternatively, you could wrap a button tag in a router-link tag like so:
<router-link :to="{name: 'myRoute'}"> <button id="myButton" class="foo bar">Go!</button></router-link>This is not so clean because your button will be inside a link element (<a>). However, the advantage is that you have a full control on your button, which may be necessary if you work with a front-end framework like Bootstrap.
I have never used this technique on buttons, to be honest. But I did this on divs quite often...
