Vue.js Template Language

Vue.js is a progressive JavaScript framework for building user interfaces. It is designed to be incrementally adoptable and can easily integrate with other libraries or existing projects, making it a great choice for CampsiteJS projects.

Key Features of Vue.js

  • Reactive Data Binding: Automatically updates the DOM when data changes.
  • Component-Based Architecture: Build reusable components for better code organization.
  • Directives: Special attributes that provide functionality to HTML elements.
  • Computed Properties: Define properties that depend on other data properties.

Getting Started with Vue.js in Campsite

  1. Installation: Include Vue.js in your CampsiteJS project by adding it to your dependencies or via CDN.
  2. Configuration: No special configuration is needed; simply include Vue.js in your templates.
  3. Creating Templates: Start creating .html or other supported template files for your templates.
  4. Using Vue.js Syntax: Utilize Vue.js directives and features to add interactivity to your templates.

Example Vue.js Template

<div id="app">
  <h1>{{ message }}</h1>
  <button @click="reverseMessage">Reverse Message</button>
</div>
<script>
  new Vue({
    el: '#app',
    data: {
      message: 'Hello, Campsite!'
    },
    methods: {
      reverseMessage() {
        this.message = this.message.split('').reverse().join('');
      }
    }
  });
</script>

Directives

Vue.js uses special attributes called directives to add behavior to your HTML elements.

  • v-bind: Binds attributes to data properties.
  • v-model: Creates two-way data bindings on form input elements.
  • v-if: Conditionally renders elements based on data properties.
  • v-for: Renders a list of items based on an array.

Reactivity

Vue.js automatically updates the DOM when the underlying data changes. You can define reactive properties within the data object.

<div id="app">
  <input v-model="name" placeholder="Enter your name">
  <p>Hello, {{ name }}!</p>
</div>
<script>
  new Vue({
    el: '#app',
    data: {
      name: ''
    }
  });
</script>
