15. website: https://vuejs.org/
16. <script src="vue.js"></script> <div id="app"> <p>{{ message }}</p> </div> <script> new Vue({ el: '#app', data: { message: 'Hello commit people!' } }) </script> https://vuejs.org/ hello world
18. <script src="vue.js"></script> <div id="app"> <img v-bind:src="src" :alt="alt" /> </div> <script> new Vue({ el: '#app', data: { src: 'https://picsum.photos/200/300', alt: 'A random pic from the web.' } }) </script> https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/syntax.html attributes binding
20. <script src="vue.js"></script> <div id="app"> <p v-if="visible"> I’m not rendered </p> <p v-show="visible"> I’m hidden [i.e. display: none] </p> </div> <script> new Vue({ el: '#app', data: { visible: false } }) </script> https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/syntax.html conditional render/display
21. <script src="vue.js"></script> <ul id="app"> <li v-for="todo in todos" :key="todo"> {{ todo }} </li> </ul> <script> new Vue({ el: '#app', data: { todos: ['eat', 'sleep', 'repeat'] } }) </script> https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/syntax.html loop through elements
23. <script src="vue.js"></script> <div id="app"> <p> {{ message }} </p> <button @click="message = ''"> Reset </button> </div> <script> new Vue({ el: '#app', data: { message: 'Please, reset me!' } }) </script> https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/syntax.html handle user input
24. <script src="vue.js"></script> <div id="app"> <p> you typed: {{ message }} </p> <input v-model="message" placeholder="start typing..." /> </div> <script> new Vue({ el: '#app', data: { message: '' } }) </script> https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/syntax.html handle user input
26. syntax Focusing - semantic code - easy to read - easy to maintain - easy to share code in teams.
27. setting data Focusing set data in vue.js is not async. is the same as you do in javascript. this.setState({ counter: this.state.counter++ }) this.setState({ counter: this.state.counter++ }) have you ever tried?
28. computed and methods website: https://vuejs.org/
29. <ul id="app"> <p> The higher number is: {{ higherNumber }} </p> </ul> new Vue({ el: '#app', data: { numbers: [100, 2, 345, 42, 56] }, computed: { higherNumber: function () { return Math.max(...this.numbers) } } }) https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/syntax.html computed
30. <div id="app"> <p v-show="visible"> I am visible. </p> <button @click="toggleVisibility"> toggle visibility </button> </div> new Vue({ el: '#app', data: { visible: false }, methods: { toggleVisibility: function (event) { this.visible = !this.visible } } }) https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/syntax.html methods
31. computed Focusing - runs when its own dependencies updates - called and used as data properties - is cached
32. methods Focusing - runs when you need to use it - called as a function in event bindings - is not cached
33. summary Focusing - no this hell (context is auto-binded) - no async data beginner failures - no shouldUpdate worries - no build steps needed
34. content management with components website: https://vuejs.org/v2/components.html
36. <the-header /> <aside> <main-menu /> </aside> <main> <blog-posts /> </main> <the-footer /> https://vuejs.org/v2/components.html components tree structure
37. component Focusing - encapsulation of elements that can be accessed through one single element. - encapsulation of logic, but in different instances - encapsulation of style (module, scoped)
38. // ...in root component <div id="app"> <card-item /> </div> Vue.component('card-item', { template: '...', data: function () { return { ... } } }) https://vuejs.org/v2/components.html
39. <script type="text/x-template" id="card-template"> <article> <h2> {{ title }} </h2> <img :src="img" :alt="title" /> </article> </script> Vue.component('card-item', { template: '#card-template', data: function () { return { title: 'A card title' img: 'https://picsum.photos/200/300' } } }) https://vuejs.org/v2/components.html
41. { ... data () { return { title: 'A card title' img: 'https://picsum.photos/200/300' } } ... } https://vuejs.org/v2/components.html data is a function
43. now we can encapsulate logic and style in a component. by for now, we are using it statically. twitter: @loregirardi github: @liqueflies
44. Vue.component('card-item', { template: '#card-template', props: ['title', 'img'] }) // ...in root component <div id="app"> <card-item title="Title from parent" src="https://picsum.photos/200/300" /> </div> https://vuejs.org/v2/components.html … better use props
45. <div id="app"> <card-item propA="..." propB="..." propC="..." propD="..." ... /> </div> https://vuejs.org/v2/components.html this could be sick
46. Vue.component('card-item', { inheritAttrs: false, // important to avoid unwanted markup template: '#card-template', props: ['title', 'img'] }) <div id="app"> <card-item v-bind="card" /> </div> new Vue({ el: '#app', data: { card: { title: 'Card title', img: 'https://picsum.photos/200/300' } } }) https://vuejs.org/v2/components.html v-bind to the rescue
47. lifecycle Focusing each vue instance goes through a series of initialization steps when it’s created running functions called lifecycle hooks, giving users the opportunity to add their own code at specific stages.
48. Vue.component('card-item', { template: '...', data: function () { return { image: '...' } }, mounted: function () { var image = this.image this.image = '...my-spinner-image.png' new imagesLoaded(this.$el, { this.image = image }) } }) https://vuejs.org/v2/components.html
49. <div id="app"> <component :is="componentName" /> </div> new Vue({ el: '#app', data: { componentName: '...' } }) https://vuejs.org/v2/components.html the :is attribute
50. <template lang="pug"> // ... </template> <script> // export default {} </script> <style lang="sass|scss|stylus" module|scoped> // ... </style> https://vuejs.org/v2/components.html single file components
51. update data with events website: https://vuejs.org/v2/style-guide/
52. by passing props we can mutate child data from parent. how can we mutate parent data from its children? twitter: @loregirardi github: @liqueflies
53. <script type="text/x-template" id="slider-pag-template"> <div> <button @click="$emit('next-slide')"> Next slide </button> <button @click="$emit('prev-slide')"> Prev slide </button> </div> </script> Vue.component('slider-pag', { template: '#slider-pag-template' }) <div id="app"> <slider-pag @next-slide="slide++" @prev-slide="slide--" /> </div> https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/components.html#Using-v-on-with-Custom-Events
54. and what if we want to change data... ...wherever in the component tree? twitter: @loregirardi github: @liqueflies
55. // broadcast event var bus = new Vue() // send event bus.$emit('event-name', ...arguments) // receive event bus.$on('event-name', ...arguments) // unbind event bus.$off('event-name') event bus https://vuejs.org/v2/components.html#Content-Distribution-with-Slots
56. // send event new Vue({ ... methods: { myMethod: function () { bus.$emit('event-name', ...arguments) } } }) event bus https://vuejs.org/v2/components.html#Content-Distribution-with-Slots
57. // receive event new Vue({ ... created: function () { bus.$on('event-name', myMethod) }, methods: { myMethod: function () { ... } } }) event bus https://vuejs.org/v2/components.html#Content-Distribution-with-Slots
58. native transitions website: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/transitions.html
59. transitions Focusing transition component allows to add enter/leave effects to: - conditions (v-if / v-show) - dynamic components - component root node - switching :key attribute website: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/transitions.html
60. website: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/transitions.html
61. <div id="app"> <transition name="fade"> <p v-show="visible"> I am visible. </p> </transition> <button @click="visible = !visible"> toggle </button> </div> <style> .fade-enter-active, .fade-leave-active { transition: opacity .5s; } .fade-enter, .fade-leave-to { opacity: 0; } </style> https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/syntax.html
62. <div id="app"> <transition name="fade"> <p v-show="visible"> I am visible. </p> </transition> <button @click="visible = !visible"> toggle </button> </div> <style> .fade-enter-active { transition: opacity .2s ease; } .fade-leave-active { transition: opacity .3; } .fade-enter, .fade-leave-to { opacity: 0; } </style> https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/syntax.html
63. <div id="app"> <transition name="fade" mode="out-in|in-out"> <component :is="pageName" /> </transition> </div> <script> new Vue({ el: '#app', props: ['pageName'] }) </script> https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/syntax.html
64. https://jsfiddle.net/loregirardi/52mn0sqL/ a fiddle
65. <div id="app"> <transition @enter="enterAnimation"> <component :is="pageName" /> </transition> </div> <script> new Vue({ el: '#app', props: ['pageName'], methods: { enterAnimation (el, done) { /* your code */ } } }) </script> https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/syntax.html
66. async call best practices website: https://vuejs.org/
67. in real use cases we have to display data from server. what’s the better way to achieve that? twitter: @loregirardi github: @liqueflies
68. <script src="vue.js"></script> <ul id="star-wars"> <li v-for="person in people" :key="person.name"> {{ person.name }} </li> </ul> <script> new Vue({ el: '#star-wars', data: { people: [] }, created: function () { fetch('https://swapi.co/api/people').then(function (response) { this.people = response.results }) } }) </script>
69. in fast connections we will immediately see results. how can we add a loader for slow connections? twitter: @loregirardi github: @liqueflies
