A Better Way To Handle Vue Props
When it comes to handling props in Vue.js, there are some best practices that can help make your code cleaner and easier to maintain. Here are some tips for a better way to handle Vue props:
Use type checking for props
One way to ensure that your components are receiving the correct type of data is to use type checking for props. This can help prevent errors and make your code more robust.
Use default values for props
Another helpful practice is to set default values for your props. This can help ensure that your components work even if certain props are not provided by the parent component.
Use prop validation
Vue.js provides a way to define custom validators for your props. This can be useful for ensuring that the data passed to your components meets certain criteria.
Use v-bind shorthand for passing props
Instead of using v-bind to pass props to a child component, you can use the shorthand syntax :propName=”value”. This can help make your code more concise and easier to read.
Conclusion
By following these best practices for handling props in Vue.js, you can create more robust and maintainable code. Type checking, default values, prop validation, and shorthand syntax can all help improve the way you work with props in your Vue components.
So, what about if you have two objects? I guess you can't use multiple v-binds but how would you handle that scenario?
I personally don't like to use the ["field"] accessor because it feels error-prone. What if I spell field wrong?
dude, just go with the defineprops macro
Very opinionated. To be hones I liked the first approach the most. Just :user="user" .
Great simple video!
Gained a subscriber out of me.
This was great. Never thought of doing this. Going to try to implement this next week at my job.
I must say i really think <UserCard :user="user"/> makes a lot more sense. I don't really see a case where this approach would be more useful. To me it seems like this approach just adds more code to maintain each time you want to use another value in the UserCard component.
Nice video, does this also work with passing additional props that are not in the User object? say any additional text. Can i then go v-bind="User" :text="myText" and just add the text prop to the defiineProps?
Why not use the whole User as a root prop for the child?
Somthing like "defineProps<User>()" and if I want to only use some fields of User (not the whole User) using built-in Pick or Omit would be helpful. In this scenario calling and passing the Component and the Component code would be as minimal as possible
Why don't you just define the User type within the UserCard component itself, instead of defining it somewhere else, and then importing it here? Collocate the types, it will achieve the same readability that you're looking for here.
If you destruscture the props, are you not losing the ref?
this is more likely a personal taste , there is no bad side passing an object via props so we dont have to define so many props inside child component , this takes less time . but I agree with you at readability point .
What about inheriting attributes in child component with this approach?
Nice tip. Thanks
I don't like this approach. Why would you do that?
Great video, thanks for sharing.
An interesting but controversial approach. What if we need to add another property later?
Nice video, but I'm not sure if this idea scales well with bigger objects with many props and some nested objects.
Good video
