Template Syntax
Data is passed to the template through the data object in the Vue instance.
Embedding variables into the html:
<div>Hello, {{ name }}!</div>
Embedding html directly:
<div><span v-html="rawData"></span>
...
data...
rawData: `<span style="color:blue;">Hi!</span>`,
...
Looping in a template:
<ol>
<li v-for="item in items">item</li>
<li v-for="(item, index) in items">item</li>
</ol>
...
data...
items: ['One', 'Two', 'Three'],
...
Setting attributes using variables:
<div v-bind:id="item.id"></div>
<div :id="someId"></div>
...
data...
item: { id: "wow" },
someId: 'shorthand-id',
...
Toggling classes:
<div v-bind:class="{ active: isActive }" class="red-text">Hello!</div>
<div :class="{ active: isActive }" class="red-text">Hello!</div>
Using conditionals in html:
<div v-if="true">This will appear conditionally.</div>
<div v-if="true">This will appear conditionally.</div>
<div v-else>This will show otherwise.</div>
Using event handlers:
These functions are added to the methods object on the Vue instance.
<div v-on:click="popup('hi!')">click me</div>
<div @click="log('hi!')">shorthand click me</div>
...
methods...
popup(message) { alert(message); },
log(message) { console.log(message); },
...
