Audit #1 – General Overview when logged in – Page title stays the same all across the app

[marcus-herrmann]

Connected to Audit 1, see #4300 1.2 General Overview when logged in, URL: https://ocis-a11y.owncloud.works/#/files/list

Issue

Document title stays "ownCloud" no matter what you do and where you are. But should describe the page, route or state that a user is on or on.

Update 2021-02-24: Good advise is to have a constant part of the string, e.g. "owncloud", and a part which is depending on the document you are on (or route you are in): "Foo Bar" (given that is a folder name in your ownCloud). The recommended order is: {individual} - {constant}

Remediation

Set document.title after successful route change to a more descriptive text regarding the "page"/route. Dream Vue code:

  watch: {
    $route: function(to) {
      this.$nextTick(function() {

        document.title = "ownCloud - Einstellungen"; // = "ownCloud settings", for settings route

      });
    }
  },
