The main advantage here is that each component is clearly self-contained, more maintainable, and easily shared.

An SFC describes a Vue component with an HTML-like syntax. It can contain three types of root blocks:

  • <template>, which describes the template of the component with the template syntax we already used
  • <script>, which contains the JavaScript code of the component
  • <style>, which contains the style used by the component

Here's an example of an SFC:

<template>
  <div>
    <p>{{ message }}</p>
    <input v-model="message"/>
  </div>
</template&gt...
