vue3 performance warning using ref

Question

vue is throwing this message:

Vue received a Component which was made a reactive object. This can lead to unnecessary performance overhead, and should be avoided by marking the component with markRaw or using shallowRef instead of ref.

<template>
      <component v-for="(el, idx) in elements" :key="idx" :data="el" :is="el.component" />
</template>



 setup() {
    const { getters } = useStore()
    const elements = ref([])
    onMounted(() => {
      fetchData().then((response) => {
        elements.value = parseData(response)
      })
    })
    return { parseData }
}

is there a better way to do this?

Answer 1

First, you should return { elements } instead of parseData in your setup i think.

I solved this issue by marking the objects as shallowRef :

import { shallowRef,  ref, computed } from 'vue'
import { EditProfileForm, EditLocationForm, EditPasswordForm} from '@/components/profile/forms'

const profile = shallowRef(EditProfileForm)
const location = shallowRef(EditLocationForm)
const password = shallowRef(EditPasswordForm)

const forms = [profile, location, password] 

<component v-for="(form, i) in forms" :key="i" :is="form" />

So you should shallowRef your components inside your parseData function. I tried markRaw at start, but it made the component non-reactive. Here it works perfectly.

Answer 2

you could manually shallowCopy the result

<component v-for="(el, idx) in elements" :key="idx" :data="el" :is="{...el.component}" />
