Vue.js

pronounced /vju:/, like view

Simple UI FW
Data binding

Effective

Simple

• Write some HTML,
• grab some JSON,
• create a Vue instance,
• that's it.

Reactive

• Expressions
• computed properties
• dependency tracking.

Components

• Compose your application with decoupled,
• reusable components.

Compact

• ~24kb min+gzip,
• no dependency.

Fast

• Precise and efficient async batch DOM updates.

Examples

Two-way data binding

Rendering a list

Handle user input

All together

Transitions

Carousel

And more ...

Vue basics

{
  el: '#app',
  data: {},
  methods: {}
}

Components

• Module abstration
• to build large-scale applications composed of small, self-contained, and often reusable components
• very similar to Custom Elements, which is part of the Web Components Spec
  • Web Components Spec is still very much a work in progress
  • Vue.js components provide more features

<div id="app">
  <app-nav></app-nav>
  <app-view>
    <app-sidebar></app-sidebar>
    <app-content></app-content>
  </app-view>
</div>

Data binding syntax

Binding expression

{{ number + 1 }}

{{ ok ? 'YES' : 'NO' }}

{{ message.split('').reverse().join('') }}

Filters

{{ message | capitalize }}

{{ message | filterA | filterB }}

{{ message | filterA 'arg1' arg2 }}

Text

<span>Message: {{ msg }}</span>

<span>This will never change: {{* msg }}</span>

Raw HTML

<div>{{{ raw_html }}}</div>

Attributes

<div id="item-{{ id }}"></div>

Directives

attributes with the v- prefix

Arguments

<a v-bind:href="url"></a>

Arguments

<a v-bind:href="url"></a>

<a v-on:click="doSomething">

Modifiers

<a v-bind:href.literal="/a/b/c"></a>

v-bind shorthand

<!-- full syntax -->
<a v-bind:href="url"></a>

<!-- shorthand -->
<a :href="url"></a>

or

<!-- full syntax -->
<button v-bind:disabled="someDynamicCondition">
    Button
</button>

<!-- shorthand -->
<button :disabled="someDynamicCondition">
    Button
</button>

v-on shorthand

<!-- full syntax -->
<a v-on:click="doSomething"></a>

<!-- shorthand -->
<a @click="doSomething"></a>

All directives

• v-bind
• v-on
• v-model
• v-if
• v-else
• v-show
• v-cloak

• v-for
• v-text
• v-html
• v-ref
• v-el
• v-pre

Computed properties

Computed set & get

// ...
computed: {
  fullName: {
    // getter
    get: function () {
      return this.firstName + ' ' + this.lastName
    },
    // setter
    set: function (newValue) {
      var names = newValue.split(' ')
      this.firstName = names[0]
      this.lastName = names[names.length - 1]
    }
  }
}
// ...

• Computed properties
  • cached
  • transparency dependency tracking

Classes bindings

Array syntax

<div v-bind:class="[classA, classB]">

data: {
  classA: 'class-a',
  classB: 'class-b'
}

Object syntax

<div v-bind:style="styleObject"></div>

Styles binding

<div v-bind:style="{ color: activeColor, fontSize: fontSize + 'px' }"></div>

Events

• Could be any event (click, keyup, focus, ...)

Events modifiers

<!-- the click event's propagation will be stopped -->
<a v-on:click.stop="doThis"></a>

<!-- the submit event will no longer reload the page -->
<form v-on:submit.prevent="onSubmit"></form>

<!-- modifiers can be chained -->
<a v-on:click.stop.prevent="doThat">

<!-- just the modifier -->
<form v-on:submit.prevent></form>

<!-- only call vm.submit() when the keyCode is 13 -->
<input v-on:keyup.13="submit">

<!-- same as above -->
<input v-on:keyup.enter="submit">

Components

Dynamic components

<tr is="my-component"></tr>

Carousel component

Modal component

How to write components?

.vue file

• reference style
• style preprocessor
• templating
  • html, jade
• scripting
  • JS, ES6
• Output: Single JS file
• Webpack + vue-loader
• Browserify + vueify

.html file

• Pure html + css + script
  • good IDE support
• No preprocesor nor compiler
• Scoped CSS

• Include by 
  <link rel="import" href="">

<div>
    <template id="myTemplate">
        <!-- template -->
    </template>

    <style type="text/css" scoped>
        <!-- css -->
    </style>

    <script type="text/javascript">
        <!-- js -->
    </script>
</div>

3 files - DIY

• Files for:
  • script
  • template
  • css
• Use whatever you want
  • js, ES6, TypeScript
  • html, jade, ...
  • css, LESS, SASS
• compile & bundle yourself
  • maven + grunt, ... 

Plugins

vue-router

• official plugin
• to build SPA

var App = Vue.extend({})

var router = new VueRouter()

router.map({
  '/foo': {
    component: Foo
  },
  '/bar': {
    component: Bar
  }
})

router.start(App, '#app')

vue-resource

• maintained by the PageKit team
• AJAX

/* HTTP Client */
this.$http({url: '/someUrl', method: 'GET'}).then(function (response) {
  // success callback
}, function (response) {
  // error callback
});

/* ROSOURCE */
var resource = this.$resource('someItem/{id}');
  resource.get({id: 1}).then(function (response) {
      this.$set('item', response.item)
  });

  resource.save({id: 1}, {item: this.item}).then(function (response) {
      // success callback
  }, function (response) {
      // error callback
  });

  resource.delete({id: 1}).then(function (response) {
      // success callback
  }, function (response) {
      // error callback
  });
}

Comparison with Other Frameworks

engineering.paiza.io

AngularJS 1.x

• Vue is simplier
  • API, design, to learn
• Vue is a more flexible,
  less opinionated solution
• Vue use one-way binding between 
  parent-child component
• Vue has a clearer separation
  between directives and components
• Vue has better performance
  and is much, much easier to optimize

React

• both provide reactive &
  composable View components
• React uses virtual DOM
• React has higher learning barrier
• React - everything in JavaScript
• Vue.js actually outperforms React
  when it comes to hot updates

Ember.js

• Ember's learning curve is high
• Vue outperforms Ember
• Templating and object model layer
  • Vue provides reactivity on plain JS objects,
    and fully automatic computed properties
  • Ember you need to wrap everything
    in Ember Objects

Polymer

• In fact was a source of inspiration for Vue as well
• Vue's components can be loosely
  compared to Polymer's custom elements
• Polymer's Web Components features must be native or emulated with degraded performance
• Vue works without any dependencies down to IE9
• The only expressions supported in Polymer templates are the boolean negation and single method calls (performance restriction)
• Polymer elements need to be bundled via Vulcanizer
