Overview of this book

<p>Vue.js is a library to build interactive web interfaces. The aim is to provide the benefits of reactive data binding and composable view components with an API that is as simple as possible.</p> <p>This book will teach you how to efficiently implement Vue.js in your projects. It starts with the fundamentals of Vue.js to building large-scale applications. You will find out what components, filters, methods, and computed properties are and how to use them to build robust applications.</p> <p>Further on, you will become familiar with ES6, single file components, module bundlers, and workflow automation. The best way to learn to code is to write it, so there’s an exercise at the end of most of the chapters for you to solve and actually test yourself on what you have learned. You can solve these in order to gain a better understanding of Vue.js.</p> <p>By the end of this book, you will be able to create fast front-end applications and increase the performance of your existing projects with Vue.js integration.</p>

Properties


Lets see now how we can use multiple instances of our story Component to display a list of stories. We have to update the template to not display always the same story, but the plot of any story we want:

<template id="story-template">
    <h1>{{ plot }}</h1>
</template> 

We also have to update our Component to use this property. To do so we will add the new property, 'plot', to the props attribute of the Component:

Vue.component('story', {
    props: ['plot'],
    template: "#story-template"
}); 

Now we can pass plot and a plain string to it, every time we use the <story> element:

<body>
    <div class="container">
        <story plot="My horse is amazing."></story>
        <story plot="Narwhals invented Shish Kebab."></story>
        <story plot="The dark side of the Force is stronger."></story>
    </div>
</body>
