Vue Slots Vs Props

1. V Slot Vue
2. Vue V-slot Props
3. Vue Component Slot

I found a way to get access tot the scoped slot props outside of the slot but it’s a hack. Make a component to just receive a prop( the scoped slot provided prop). And do with it whatever you want. But there has to be a better way. Vue will only render the slots which it finds inside the TabCard component’s template. So when the tabPanelSlotName is ‘tab-panel-lily’ Vue will only render Lily’s panel. When the tabPanelSlotName is ‘tab-panel-snape’, Vue will only render Snape’s panel. At last we have two methods, tabHeadSlotName and switchTab.

• Scoped slots are a useful feature of Vue that can make components more versatile and reusable. The only problem is they're hard to understand! In this article, I'll go through a step-by-step example so you can see how useful scoped slots are.
• Create a component that initializes our map. In the template, we create a container for the map.

With the release of Vue3 coming soon, many people are wondering “What’s different in Vue2 vs. Vue3?”

Although we’ve written articles before about the biggest changes coming, we haven’t really taken a deep look at exactly how our code will change. So to show these changes, we’re going to build a simple form component in both Vue2 and Vue3.

By the end of this article, you’ll understand the main programming differences between Vue2 and Vue3 and be on your way to becoming a better developer.

If you want to know how to build your first Vue3 app, check out our beginners’ Vue3 Alpha app guide.

Alright – let’s go!

Creating our Template

For most components, the code will be very similar, if not identical, in both Vue2 and Vue3. However, Vue3 has support for Fragments, meaning that components can have more than one root node.

This is especially useful when rendering components in a list to remove unnecessary wrapper div elements. However, in this case, we’ll keep a single root node for both versions of our Form component.

The only real difference is how we access our data. In Vue3, our reactive data is all wrapped in a reactive state variable – so we need to access this state variable to get our values.

Setting Up Data

This is where the main difference is – the Vue2 Options API vs. the Vue3 Composition API.

The Options API separates our code into different properties: data, computed properties, methods, etc. Meanwhile, the Composition API allows us to group our code by function rather than the type of property.

For our form component, let’s say we just have two data properties: a username and a password.

The Vue2 code would look like this – we just toss our two values in the data property.

In Vue 3.0, we have to put in a little more effort by working with a new setup() method where all of our component initialization should be taking place.

Also, to give developers more control over what is reactive, we have direct access to Vue’s reactivity API.

To create reactive data involves three steps:

1. Import reactive from vue
2. Declare our data using the reactive method
3. Have our setup method return the reactive data so our template can access it

In terms of code, it will look a little like this.

Then, in our template, we access them like state.username and state.password

Creating Methods in Vue2 vs. Vue3

The Vue2 Options API has a separate section for methods. In it, we can just define all of our methods and organize them in whatever way we want.

The setup method in the Vue3 Composition API also handles methods. It works somewhat similarly to declaring data – we have to first declare our method and then return it so that other parts of our component can access it.

Lifecycle Hooks

In Vue2, we can access the lifecycle hooks directly from our component options. For our example we’ll be waiting for the mounted event.

Now with the Vue3 Composition API, almost everything is inside the setup() method. This includes the mounted lifecycle hook.

However, lifecycle hooks are not included by default so we have to import the onMounted method as its called in Vue3. This looks the same as importing reactive earlier.

Then, inside our setup method, we can use the onMounted method by passing it our function.

Computed Properties

Let’s add a computed property that converts our username to lowercase letters.

To accomplish this in Vue2, we add a computed field to our options object. From here, we can define our property like this…

The design of Vue3 allows developers to import what they used and not have unnecessary packages in their project. Essentially, they didn’t want developers to have to include things they never used, which was becoming a growing problem in Vue2.

So to use computed properties in Vue3, we first have to import computed into our component.

Then, similarly to how we created our reactive data earlier, we can make a piece of reactive data a computed value like this:

Accessing Props

Accessing props brings up an important distinction between Vue2 and Vue3 – this means something totally different.

In Vue2, this would almost always refer to the component, not a specific property. While this made things easy on the surface, it made type support a pain.

However, we could easily access props – let’s just add a trivial example like printing out our title prop during the mounted hook:

However in Vue3, we no longer use this to access props, emit events, and get properties. Instead, the setup() method takes two arguments:

1. props – immutable access to the component’s props
2. context – selected properties that Vue3 exposes (emit, slots, attrs)

Using the props argument, the above code would look like this.

Emitting Events

Similarly, emitting events in Vue2 is very straightforward, but Vue3 gives you more control over how properties/methods are accessed.

Let’s say, in our case, that we want to emit a login event to a parent component when the “Submit” button is pressed.

The Vue2 code would just have to call this.$emit and pass in our payload object.

However, in Vue3, we now know that this no longer means the same thing, so we have to do it differently.

Luckily, the context object exposes emit that gives us the same thing as this.$emit

All we have to do is add context as the second parameter to our setup method. We’re going to be destructuring the context object to make our code more concise.

Then, we just call emit to send our event. Then, just like before, the emit method takes two arguments:

1. The name of our event
2. A payload object to pass with our event

The Final Vue2 vs. Vue3 Code!

V Slot Vue

Great! We’ve made it through the end. As you can see, all of the concepts are the same in Vue2 and Vue3, but some of the ways we access properties have changed a little bit.

Overall, I think that Vue3 will help developers write much more organized code – especially in large codebases. This is mostly because the Composition API allows you to group code together by specific features and even extract out functionality into their own files and import them into components as needed.

After everything here is our code for the form component in Vue2.

And here it is in Vue3.
