Vue.js Simplified: Exploring Declarative Rendering and Reactive Data

What is an SFC?

• SFC stands for Single-File Component.

• It’s a .vue file that contains HTML, JavaScript, and CSS all in one place.

• Think of it as a reusable block of code for building parts of a webpage.

Declarative Rendering

• Declarative Rendering means you tell Vue what you want to display, and it automatically updates the webpage when the data changes.

• Example: If a number increases, Vue will automatically show the new number on the page.

Reactive State

• Reactive State is data that Vue automatically tracks. When this data changes, the webpage updates instantly.

• Vue provides two ways to create reactive data:

  1. reactive(): Used for objects (like { count: 0 }).

  2. ref(): Used for single values (like numbers or strings).

Example:

import { reactive, ref } from 'vue';

// For objects
const counter = reactive({
  count: 0
});

// For single values
const message = ref('Hello World!');

• Use counter.count or message.value to access or update the data.

Using Reactive Data in Templates

• You can display reactive data in your HTML using {{ }} (called "mustaches").

• Example:

<h1>{{ message }}</h1>
<p>Count is: {{ counter.count }}</p>

• Vue automatically updates the text when message or counter.count changes.

JavaScript in Templates

• You can use any JavaScript expression inside {{ }}.

• Example:

<h1>{{ message.split('').reverse().join('') }}</h1>

• This will reverse the text in message and display it.

Try It Yourself

1. Create some reactive data using reactive() or ref().

2. Use it in your template with {{ }}.

3. See how the webpage updates automatically when the data changes!

Summary

• SFC: A .vue file that contains HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.

• Declarative Rendering: Tell Vue what to display, and it updates the page automatically.

• Reactive State: Data that Vue tracks and updates in real-time.

• Use {{ }} to display reactive data in your HTML.
