 When building apps with a bundler, the JavaScript bundle can become quite large, and thus affect the page load time. It would be more efficient if we can split each route's components into a separate chunk, and only load them when the route is visited.

   One consequence of this is that `<router-link to="/">` will be active for every route! To force the link into "exact match mode", use the `exact` prop:
