We can apply a class conditionally with the :class or v-bind:class directive. We can set the value of it as an object or an array. To make our template cleaner, we can put our class code in a computed property so that it'll be updated when any piece of component data updates.
Refs are Vue. js instance properties that are used to register or indicate a reference to HTML elements or child elements in the template of your application. If a ref attribute is added to an HTML element in your Vue template, you'll then be able to reference that element or even a child element in your Vue instance.
Feb 3, 2020. The $refs property in Vue is used to reference DOM elements in the Vue instance's templates. A common use case for $refs is focusing on a DOM element when a certain event happens.
When we talk about data binding in Vue, we mean that the place where it is used or displayed in the template is directly linked, or bound to the source of the data, which is the data object inside the Vue instance. In other words, the host of the data is linked to the target of the data.
Try:
<input :required="test ? true : false">
Update: It has changed in Vue 3, see this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/64598898
Simplest form:
<input :required="test"> // if true
<input :required="!test"> // if false
<input :required="!!test"> // test ? true : false
Conditional rendering of attributes changed in Vue 3. To omit an attribute use null
or undefined
.
Vue 2:
<div :attr="false">
Result: <div>
<div :attr="null">
Result: <div>
Vue 3:
<div :attr="false">
Result: <div attr="false">
<div :attr="null">
Result: <div>
<input :required="condition">
You don't need <input :required="test ? true : false">
because if test is truthy you'll already get the required
attribute, and if test is falsy you won't get the attribute. The true : false
part is redundant, much like this...
if (condition) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
// or this...
return condition ? true : false;
// can *always* be replaced by...
return (condition); // parentheses generally not needed
The simplest way of doing this binding, then, is <input :required="condition">
Only if the test (or condition) can be misinterpreted would you need to do something else; in that case Syed's use of !!
does the trick.
<input :required="!!condition">
You can pass boolean
by coercing it, put !!
before the variable.
let isRequired = '' || null || undefined
<input :required="!!isRequired"> // it will coerce value to respective boolean
But I would like to pull your attention for the following case where the receiving component has defined type
for props. In that case, if isRequired
has defined type to be string
then passing boolean
make it type check fails and you will get Vue warning. To fix that you may want to avoid passing that prop, so just put undefined
fallback and the prop will not sent to component
let isValue = false
<any-component
:my-prop="isValue ? 'Hey I am when the value exist' : undefined"
/>
Explanation
I have been through the same problem, and tried above solutions !!
Yes, I don't see the prop
but that actually does not fulfils what required here.
My problem -
let isValid = false
<any-component
:my-prop="isValue ? 'Hey I am when the value exist': false"
/>
In the above case, what I expected is not having my-prop
get passed to the child component - <any-conponent/>
I don't see the prop
in DOM
but In my <any-component/>
component, an error pops out of prop type check failure. As in the child component, I am expecting my-prop
to be a String
but it is boolean
.
myProp : {
type: String,
required: false,
default: ''
}
Which means that child component did receive the prop even if it is false
. Tweak here is to let the child component to take the default-value
and also skip the check. Passed undefined
works though!
<any-component
:my-prop="isValue ? 'Hey I am when the value exist' : undefined"
/>
This works and my child prop is having the default value.
