If you never heard what

Vue Composition API is...

We can create a standalone reactive state and/or properties...

import { ref } from 'vue'

const login = ref('')
const password = ref('')

login.value = 'johndoe'

...and use them in the Vue components

<template>
  <form>
    <input v-model="login" type="text" placeholder="Login" />
    <input v-model="password" type="password" placeholder="Password" />
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
  </form>
</template>

<script>
import { ref } from 'vue';

export default {
  setup() {
    const login = ref('')
    const password = ref('')

    return { login, password };
  }
};
</script>

We can abstract reactive state!

// useForm.js

import { ref } from 'vue';

export function useForm() {
  const login = ref('')
  const password = ref('')

  function submitForm() {
    console.log(`User ${login} is logging in`)
  }

  return { login, password, submitForm };
};
<!-- MyComponent.vue -->

<template>
  <form @submit.prevent="submitForm">
    <input v-model="login" type="text" placeholder="Login" />
    <input v-model="password" type="password" placeholder="Password" />
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
  </form>
</template>

<script>
import { useForm } from './useForm.js';

export default {
  setup() {
    const { login, password, submitForm } = useForm()

    return { login, password, submitForm };
  }
};
</script>

This is still not answering why this API is useful 🤔

export const formMixin = {
  data() {
    login: '',
    password: ''
  },
  methods: {
    submitForm() {
      console.log(`User ${login} is logging in`)

      console.log(
        formId,
        `User ${login} is logging in`
      )

}

Universal

<template
  <form-wrapper>
    <template #default="{ login, password, submitForm }">
      <form @submit.prevent="submitForm">
        <input v-model="login" type="text" placeholder="Login" />
        <input v-model="password" type="password" placeholder="Password" />
        <button type="submit">Submit</button>
      </form>
    </template>
  </form-wrapper>
</template>

        <input v-model="login" type="text" placeholder="Login" />
        <input v-model="password" type="password" placeholder="Password" />
        <button type="submit">Submit</button>
      </form>
    </template>
  </form-wrapper>
  <div>
    {{ login }}
  </div>
</template>

Let's try to solve this with Composition API!

Final result

Thank you all for watching!
