Am trying to create a simple menu using vue router , id like to iterate all routes and display in my menu , currently am using below instance method in my component but i just get a function , how would i iterate to get individual routes ?

methods : {
 getMenuLinks: function() {

        var t = this.$router.map() ;
        //t returns a vue object instance
        return t._children ;
        // did not know how to iterate this 
   }

 }

I want to iterate all maped routes to get something like below of each mapped route :

<a v-link="{ path: 'home' }">Home</a>

You can simply iterate over $router.options.routes in your template:

<nav>
  <router-link v-for="route in $router.options.routes" :key="route.path" :to="route.path">{{ route.name }}</router-link>
</nav>

Maybe add styling for the selected route:

:class="{ active: route.path === $router.currentRoute.path }"

edit: for active class, use https://router.vuejs.org/api/#active-class instead

Since vue-router 3.5, Router instance has now a getRoutes() method.
So an up to date answer could be

<router-link 
    for="r in routes" 
    :key="r.path" 
    :to="r.path"
>
    {{ r.name }}
</router-link>

computed: {
    routes() { return this.$router.getRoutes() }
}

Another solution is using Webpack's require.context

// search for src/pages/**/index.vue
function routesGen () {
  const pages = require.context('./pages/', true, /index\.vue$/)
  const filePaths = pages.keys()
  const getRoutePath = filePath => filePath.match(/\.(\/\S+)\/index\.vue/)[1]
  return filePaths.map(filePath => ({
    path: getRoutePath(filePath),
    component: pages(filePath).default
  }))
}

As VueRouter is simply a JavaScript class as other classes, you can extend it and add any custom functionality including the questionable one:

// TypeScript

import Vue from 'vue';
import VueRouter, { RouteConfig } from 'vue-router';

class VueRouterEx extends VueRouter {
  matcher: any;

  public routes: RouteConfig[] = [];

  constructor(options) {
    super(options);
    const { addRoutes } = this.matcher;
    const { routes } = options;

    this.routes = routes;

    this.matcher.addRoutes = (newRoutes) => {
      this.routes.push(...newRoutes);
      addRoutes(newRoutes);
    };
  }
}

Vue.use(VueRouterEx);

const router = new VueRouterEx({
  mode: 'history',
  base: process.env.BASE_URL,
  routes: [],
});

export default router;

So, from any component, you can get the routes using this.$router.routes
