Describe the bug

According to documentation available at https://v8.i18n.nuxtjs.org/guide/migrating#change-some-export-apis-name-on-nuxt-context it seems that API methods have to be prefixed with $, however it results in 500 error (_ctx.$localePath is not a function).

This works, but shows type error in VSCode

This does not work and results in 500 error

This does work

any updates on this? Having the same problem...

As a workaround i use <nuxt-link-locale>, which just works.
