Summary

In this chapter, you were introduced to Vue.js computed and watch properties, which allow you to observe and control reactive data. You also explored how to use methods to asynchronously fetch data from an API using the axios library. Then, you learned how to dynamically compose the received data into different outputs within the Vue template using computed props. The differences between using methods and computed and watch properties were demonstrated by building search functionality using each method.

The next chapter will cover Vite and show you how to use Vue DevTools to manage and debug your Vue.js applications that use these computed properties and events.
