Vue Dynamic Components

In Vue.js, dynamic components allow us to switch between different components dynamically based on a certain condition or user interaction. This can be achieved using the <component> element along with the is attribute.

Using <component> Element

To use dynamic components in Vue.js, we first need to define all the components that we want to switch between. We then use the <component> element and bind the component name to the is attribute. This allows Vue to render the correct component based on the provided component name.

Here is an example of how we can use the <component> element with the is attribute:

  
    <component :is="componentName"></component>
  

Here, componentName is a variable that holds the name of the component we want to render dynamically. It could be set based on some condition or user interaction.

Example

Let’s see a simple example of how we can use dynamic components in Vue.js:

  
    <div id="app">
      <button @click="currentComponent = 'ComponentA'">Show Component A</button>
      <button @click="currentComponent = 'ComponentB'">Show Component B</button>

      <component :is="currentComponent"></component>
    </div>
  

new Vue({
el: ‘#app’,
data: {
currentComponent: ‘ComponentA’
}
});

In this example, we have two buttons that allow us to switch between ComponentA and ComponentB dynamically. The currentComponent variable holds the name of the currently selected component, and we bind it to the is attribute of the <component> element.

Conclusion

Dynamic components in Vue.js provide a powerful way to switch between different components based on dynamic conditions. By using the <component> element along with the is attribute, we can easily render different components dynamically in our Vue.js applications.
