When beginning in Vue it may seem easier to create self-contained components, use them in views and call it a day. But Vue components can be much more powerful. Let’s consider an example where you have to create two views - Account and User. Typically, you create an Account.vue view -

I would love for the world to wait for a carefully architected VueJS app. But often it doesn’t. I recently had to quickly implement a role-based filter for a data driven application. And, the experience left me somewhat dizzy. First, the basics - Roles had been implemented in the application as custom logic - back-end server framework had roles defined against users Permissions were used to check access to specific routes of API.

I create 404 pages as a standard practice in my Vue applications. You need that to manage browser page refreshes and to serve direct URLs for all possible pages in your application. Vue app has two parts - backend API frontend routes (pages) Any and all requests to the server go through our Nginx web server.

Vuex is a lot of boilerplate. Consider this user store - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 //store/user.

Use helper functions to access Vuex capabilities and greatly increase readability of your code. We will consider the following Vuex store for a quick demonstration - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 // store/index.js import Vue from "vue"; import Vuex from "vuex"; import user from ".

Vuex is my preferred way to manage state within Vue. Vuex is better structured using modules to make your code more readable and maintainable. See why you should use Vuex in Vue. Create a Vue app as you will always do using vue create myApp. Do a cd myApp && vue add vuex if you have not selected Vuex at the very beginning.

Google recaptcha is quite a powerful tool in reducing spam through our contact forms. Once included in our forms, reCaptcha automatically manages suspicious activity, prompts additional ‘bot vs. human checks’, or is completely transparent to the overall flow - depending on who is interacting with the site. Including reCaptcha in Vue is quite simple.

In one of the recent projects there was this requirement to create a FAQ page for a small application. The change was not planned and came up during the final stages of the project. I took it in the same spirit as what I do for a home page. I did not plan to use SSR or a static-site generator, but rather leaned back on the excellent ‘prerender-spa-plugin’.

Recently I had to incorporate Google map functionality on list of contact cards. I though it would be interesting to outline a decision map of what went into the design and development. My first thought for the map functionality was to embed the map alongside the contact. This was quickly discounted since we had too many contacts on the same page (with a possibility of infinite scroll in the future).

You can do the following in a password box to hide or show passwords on click. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 <template> <v-text-field name="password" :value="myPass" label="Enter password" :append-icon="value ? 'visibility' : 'visibility_off'" @click:append="() => (value = !

There are two ways to conditionally show or hide UI elements in Vue - v-show and v-if. Learn which option to use where. v-show Use v-show to show an element on the UI based on given condition. The element is present in the DOM, but will have class set to display: none.

Vue supports two-way binding through the excellent v-model directive, and one-way binding using a :value= syntax. Both have their uses within a Vue component. There are good enough reasons to use one over the other. First, let’s look at an example of two-way binding - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 <template> <input v-model="message" /> </template> <script> export default { data() { return { message: "hello" }; }, }; </script> v-model is a short form of v-bind.

There are three main ways to store variables and/or react to variable changes in Vue components. data computed Watch for changes in watcher So, how to decide when to use what? (that is 3-in-1 question, I outwit myself) Although these sections look similar, they serve different functions. Evaluate the variables against the following considerations when you are in doubt.
