Password Generator in Vue.js 3

In this article, we’ll be building a random and dynamic password generator using Vue.js 3, CSS, and HTML. This password generator will allow users to customize the length and complexity of the generated password.

Setting up Vue.js 3

First, make sure you have Vue.js 3 installed in your project. If you haven’t already, you can install it using npm:

npm install vue@next

Once Vue.js 3 is installed, you can create a new Vue instance and define the password generator component.

Building the Password Generator Component

We’ll start by creating a new component for the password generator. This component will contain the logic for generating random passwords based on user input.

<template>
  <div>
    <h2>Password Generator</h2>
    <label for="password-length">Password Length:</label>
    <input type="number" id="password-length" v-model="passwordLength" min="8" max="32">
    <button @click="generatePassword">Generate Password</button>
    <p v-if="password">Your password is: {{ password }}</p>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      passwordLength: 12,
      password: ''
    };
  },
  methods: {
    generatePassword() {
      // Generate random password logic here
      // Update this.password with the generated password
    }
  }
};
</script>

Styling the Password Generator

Now that we have the basic functionality of the password generator in place, we can add some styles to make it look more appealing.

#password-length {
  padding: 5px;
  margin-right: 10px;
}

button {
  padding: 8px 16px;
  background-color: #007bff;
  color: #fff;
  border: none;
  cursor: pointer;
}

button:hover {
  background-color: #0056b3;
}

p {
  font-size: 18px;
}

Final Thoughts

With Vue.js 3, CSS, and HTML, we’ve created a random and dynamic password generator that allows users to customize the length and complexity of their passwords. This is just a simple example, but with the power of Vue.js, you can easily expand and customize the functionality to meet your specific needs.
