Vue-router (280)nuxt (221)cheatsheet (187)tips (52)lazy (26) Repo. This is a simplified cheatsheet along with some tips for people who often works. The v-sheet component is a malleable piece of paper that can be morphed to facilitate other components.

Before we jump to the Vue.JS cheat sheet let’s have a look at the positives offered by Vue.JS, which made it one of the most loved frameworks in 2019. Small Size: It takes users no time to download this framework with just a mere weight of 18 KBs.

• Directives
• Options passed to a Vue object
• Instance properties

Directives

Directives are attributes identified by the v- prefix.

v-bind and v-on have a shorthand format:

Example of v-if / v-else / v-else-if:

Conditionals

You can embed a conditional in an expression using the ternary operator:

Working with form elements

To make the model update when the change event occurs, and not any time the user presses a key, you can use v-model.lazy instead of just v.model.

Working with input fields, v-model.trim is useful because it automatically removes whitespace.

And if you accept a number instead than a string, make sure you use v-model.number.

Modifying events

I use click as an example, but applies to all possible events

• v-on:click.native trigger a native DOM event instead of a Vue event
• v-on:click.stop stop the click event propagation
• v-on:click.passive makes use of the passive option of addEventListener
• v-on:click.capture use event capturing instead of event bubbling
• v-on:click.self make sure the click event was not bubbled from a child event, but directly happened on that element
• v-on:click.once the event will only be triggered exactly once
• v-on:submit.prevent: call event.preventDefault() on the triggered submit event, used to avoid a form submit to reload the page

For more on propagation, bubbling/capturing see my JavaScript events guide.

Mouse event modifiers

• v-on:click .left triggers only on left mouse button click
• v-on:click .right triggers only on right mouse button click
• v-on:click .middle triggers only on middle mouse button click

Submit an event only if a particular key is pressed

• v-on:keyup.enter
• v-on:keyup.tab
• v-on:keyup.delete
• v-on:keyup.esc
• v-on:keyup.up
• v-on:keyup.down
• v-on:keyup.left
• v-on:keyup.right

Keyboard event modifiers

Only trigger the event if a particular keyboard key is also pressed:

• .ctrl
• .alt
• .shift
• .meta (cmd on Mac, windows key on Win)

v-bind

• v-bind .prop bind a prop instead of an attribute
• v-bind .camel use camelCase for the attribute name
• v-bind .sync a syntactic sugar that expands into a v-on handler for updating the bound value. See this.

Lifecycle Hooks

• beforeCreate called before the app is created
• created called after the app is created
• beforeMount called before the app is mounted on the DOM
• mounted called after the app is mounted on the DOM
• beforeDestroy called before the app is destroyed
• destroyed called after the app is destroyed
• beforeUpdate called before a property is updated
• updated called after a property is updated
• activated called when a kept-alive component is activated
• deactivated called when a kept-alive component is deactivated

Built-in components

Vue provides 5 built-in components:

• <component>
• <transition>
• <transition-group>
• <keep-alive>
• <slot>

Global Configuration of the Vue object

The Vue.config object has these properties, which you can modify when you create the instance:

Methods of the Vue object

Options passed to a Vue object

When initializing a Vue object, you pass in an object:

This object accepts a number of properties.

Example of defining data, methods and computed properties:

DOM

• el sets the DOM element where the instance mounts on. It can be a CSS Selector, or an HTMLElement
• template is a template, represented as a string, that will replace the mounted element
• render alternatively to define the template, you can define a template using a render function
• renderError set an alternative output when the function attached to render fails

Vue instance assets

• directives the set of directives to associate to the Vue instance
• filters the set of filters to associate to the Vue instance
• components the set of components to associate to the Vue instance

Vue composition options

• parent specifies the parent instance
• mixins sets an array of mixin objects
• extends extend another component

Other Vue object options

• name setting a name to the component lets you invoke it, useful in debugging or when you need to recursively add a component in its template
• functional if true, sets the component to be stateless (no data) and instanceless (no this), making it more lightweight
• model allows to customize the property used in events, useful for example when interacting with forms
• comments defaults to false. If set to true, retains the HTML comments that are put in templates

Instance properties

Given an instance of Vue, stored into a variable const vm = new Vue(/*...*/), you can inspect and interact with it.

Properties of a Vue instance

• vm.$data the data object associated to the instance
• vm.$props the props the instance has received
• vm.$el the DOM element to which the instance is bound
• vm.$options the object used to instantiate the Vue instance
• vm.$parent the parent instance
• vm.$root the root instance (if this is the root instance, this points to itself)
• vm.$children an array of children instances
• vm.$slots an array of the associated slots contained in the template
• vm.$scopedSlots an array of the associated scoped slots
• vm.$refs an object that contains a property for each element pointed by a ref attribute defined in the template
• vm.$isServer true if the Vue instance is running on the server (useful in server-side rendering)
• vm.$attrs an object of attributes that are provided to the component but not defined as props
• vm.$listeners an object of v-on event listeners assigned to the component

Vue3 Composition Api Emit

Methods Data

• vm.$watch set up a watcher for property changes in the Vue data. It can also watch for value changes inside objects
• vm.$set set a property
• vm.$delete delete a property

Events

• vm.$emit triggers a custom event on the vm Vue instance
• vm.$on listen for a custom event on the vm Vue instance
• vm.$once like $on, but listens only once
• vm.$off removes an event listener from the Vue instance

Lifecycle Methods

Vue Js Cheat Sheet Pdf

• vm.$mount mount a Vue instance on a DOM element, in case it was not mounted yet
• vm.$forceUpdate force the vm Vue instance to re-render. Does not force child components to rerender.
• vm.$nextTick accepts a callback and schedules that for the next DOM update cycle
• vm.$destroy destroys the application and remove all child components, observers and listeners
