How to create a Checkbox component using the Vue Composition API
In this article, we will learn how to create a Checkbox component using the Vue Composition API. The Vue Composition API allows us to better organize our code and create reusable components.
Step 1: Set up your Vue project
First, make sure you have Vue installed in your project. You can easily do this by running the following command in your terminal:
npm install vue
Step 2: Create a new Checkbox component file
Create a new file called Checkbox.vue or any other name you prefer. In this file, we will define our Checkbox component using the Vue Composition API.
Step 3: Define the Checkbox component
Define the Checkbox component using the following HTML and Vue Composition API code:
<template>
<label>
<input type="checkbox" v-model="isChecked" />
{{ label }}
</label>
</template>
<script>
import { ref } from 'vue';
export default {
props: {
label: String
},
setup(props) {
const isChecked = ref(false);
return { isChecked };
}
}
</script>
Step 4: Use the Checkbox component in your Vue app
Now that we have defined our Checkbox component, we can use it in our Vue app by importing it and adding it to the template of our Vue app. For example:
<template>
<div>
<Checkbox label="I agree to the terms and conditions" />
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Checkbox from './Checkbox.vue';
export default {
components: {
Checkbox
}
}
</script>
And that’s it! You have now created a Checkbox component using the Vue Composition API. You can now use this component throughout your Vue app to create custom checkboxes with ease.
