Note that the component file name and its representation in JavaScript is in PascalCase (e.g. <code>ToDoList</code>), and the equivalent custom element is in <a href="/en-US/docs/Glossary/Kebab_case">kebab-case</a> (e.g. <code><to-do-list></code>).

Each entry in the array corresponds to the name of a prop.</li> <li>The second way is to define props as an object, with each key corresponding to the prop name. Listing props as an object allows you to specify default values, mark props as required, perform basic object typing (specifically around JavaScript primitive types), and perform simple prop validation.</li> </ul> <div class="notecard note"> <p><strong>Note:</strong> Prop validation only happens in development mode, so you can't strictly rely on it in production. Additionally, prop validation functions are invoked before the component instance is created, so they do not have access to the component state (or other props).</p> </div> <p>For this component, we'll use the object registration method.</p> <ol> <li> <p>Go back to your <code>ToDoItem.vue</code> file.</p> </li> <li> <p>Add a <code>props</code> property inside the export <code>default {}</code> object, which contains an empty object.</p> </li> <li> <p>Inside this object, add two properties with the keys <code>label</code> and <code>done</code>.</p> </li> <li> <p>The <code>label</code> key's value should be an object with 2 properties (or <strong>props</strong>, as they are called in the context of being available to the components).</p> <ol> <li>The first is a <code>required</code> property, which will have a value of <code>true</code>. This will tell Vue that we expect every instance of this component to have a label field. Vue will warn us if a <code>ToDoItem</code> component does not have a label field.</li> <li>The second property we'll add is a <code>type</code> property. Set the value for this property as the JavaScript <code>String</code> type (note the capital "S"). This tells Vue that we expect the value of this property to be a string.</li> </ol> </li> <li> <p>Now on to the <code>done</code> prop.</p> <ol> <li>First add a <code>default</code> field, with a value of <code>false</code>. This means that when no <code>done</code> prop is passed to a <code>ToDoItem</code> component, the <code>done</code> prop will have a value of false (bear in mind that this is not required — we only need <code>default</code> on non-required props).</li> <li>Next add a <code>type</code> field with a value of <code>Boolean</code>. This tells Vue we expect the value prop to be a JavaScript boolean type.</li> </ol> </li> </ol> <p>Your component object should now look like this:</p> <div class="code-example"><div class="example-header"><span class="language-name">js</span></div><pre class="brush: js notranslate"><code>export default { props: { label: { required: true, type: String }, done: { default: false, type: Boolean }, }, }; </code></pre></div></div></section><section aria-labelledby="using_registered_props"><h3 id="using_registered_props"><a href="#using_registered_props">Using registered props</a></h3><div class="section-content"><p>With these props defined inside the component object, we can now use these variable values inside our template. Let's start by adding the <code>label</code> prop to the component template.</p> <p>In your <code><template></code>, replace the contents of the <code><label></code> element with <code>{{label}}</code>.</p> <p><code>{{}}</code> is a special template syntax in Vue, which lets us print the result of JavaScript expressions defined in our class, inside our template, including values and methods. It's important to know that content inside <code>{{}}</code> is displayed as text and not HTML. In this case, we're printing the value of the <code>label</code> prop.</p> <p>Your component's template section should now look like this:</p> <div class="code-example"><div class="example-header"><span class="language-name">vue</span></div><pre class="brush: vue notranslate"><code><template> <div> <input type="checkbox" id="todo-item" /> <label for="todo-item">{{ label }}</label> </div> </template> </code></pre></div> <p>Go back to your browser and you'll see the todo item rendered as before, but without a label (oh no!). Go to your browser's DevTools and you'll see a warning along these lines in the console:</p> <pre class="brush: plain notranslate">[Vue warn]: Missing required prop: "label" found in ---> <ToDoItem> at src/components/ToDoItem.vue <App> at src/App.vue <Root> </pre> <p>This is because we marked the <code>label</code> as a required prop, but we never gave the component that prop — we've defined where inside the template we want it used, but we haven't passed it into the component when calling it. Let's fix that.</p> <p>Inside your <code>App.vue</code> file, add a <code>label</code> prop to the <code><to-do-item></to-do-item></code> component, just like a regular HTML attribute:</p> <div class="code-example"><div class="example-header"><span class="language-name">vue</span></div><pre class="brush: vue notranslate"><code><to-do-item label="My ToDo Item"></to-do-item> </code></pre></div> <p>Now you'll see the label in your app, and the warning won't be spat out in the console again.</p> <p>So that's props in a nutshell. Next we'll move on to how Vue persists data state.</p></div></section><section aria-labelledby="vues_data_object"><h2 id="vues_data_object"><a href="#vues_data_object">Vue's data object</a></h2><div class="section-content"><p>If you change the value of the <code>label</code> prop passed into the <code><to-do-item></to-do-item></code> call in your <code>App</code> component, you should see it update. This is great. We have a checkbox, with an updatable label. However, we're currently not doing anything with the "done" prop — we can check the checkboxes in the UI, but nowhere in the app are we recording whether a todo item is actually done.</p> <p>To achieve this, we want to bind the component's <code>done</code> prop to the <code>checked</code> attribute on the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input"><code><input></code></a> element, so that it can serve as a record of whether the checkbox is checked or not. However, it's important that props serve as one-way data binding — a component should never alter the value of its own props. There are a lot of reasons for this. In part, components editing props can make debugging a challenge. If a value is passed to multiple children, it could be hard to track where the changes to that value were coming from. In addition, changing props can cause components to re-render. So mutating props in a component would trigger the component to rerender, which may in-turn trigger the mutation again.</p> <p>To work around this, we can manage the <code>done</code> state using Vue's <code>data</code> property. The <code>data</code> property is where you can manage local state in a component, it lives inside the component object alongside the <code>props</code> property and has the following structure:</p> <div class="code-example"><div class="example-header"><span class="language-name">js</span></div><pre class="brush: js notranslate"><code>data() { return { key: value } } </code></pre></div> <p>You'll note that the <code>data</code> property is a function. This is to keep the data values unique for each instance of a component at runtime — the function is invoked separately for each component instance. If you declared data as just an object, all instances of that component would share the same values. This is a side-effect of the way Vue registers components and something you do not want.</p> <p>You use <code>this</code> to access a component's props and other properties from inside data, as you may expect. We'll see an example of this shortly.</p> <div class="notecard note"> <p><strong>Note:</strong> Because of the way that <code>this</code> works in arrow functions (binding to the parent's context), you wouldn't be able to access any of the necessary attributes from inside <code>data</code> if you used an arrow function. So don't use an arrow function for the <code>data</code> property.</p> </div> <p>So let's add a <code>data</code> property to our <code>ToDoItem</code> component. This will return an object containing a single property that we'll call <code>isDone</code>, whose value is <code>this.done</code>.</p> <p>Update the component object like so:</p> <div class="code-example"><div class="example-header"><span class="language-name">js</span></div><pre class="brush: js notranslate"><code>export default { props: { label: { required: true, type: String }, done: { default: false, type: Boolean }, }, data() { return { isDone: this.done, }; }, }; </code></pre></div> <p>Vue does a little magic here — it binds all of your props directly to the component instance, so we don't have to call <code>this.props.done</code>. It also binds other attributes (<code>data</code>, which you've already seen, and others like <code>methods</code>, <code>computed</code>, etc.) directly to the instance. This is, in part, to make them available to your template. The down-side to this is that you need to keep the keys unique across these attributes. This is why we called our <code>data</code> attribute <code>isDone</code> instead of <code>done</code>.</p> <p>So now we need to attach the <code>isDone</code> property to our component. In a similar fashion to how Vue uses <code>{{}}</code> expressions to display JavaScript expressions inside templates, Vue has a special syntax to bind JavaScript expressions to HTML elements and components: <strong><code>v-bind</code></strong>. The <code>v-bind</code> expression looks like this:</p> <pre class="brush: plain notranslate">v-bind:attribute="expression" </pre> <p>In other words, you prefix whatever attribute/prop you want to bind to with <code>v-bind:</code>. In most cases, you can use a shorthand for the <code>v-bind</code> property, which is to just prefix the attribute/prop with a colon. So <code>:attribute="expression"</code> works the same as <code>v-bind:attribute="expression"</code>.</p> <p>So in the case of the checkbox in our <code>ToDoItem</code> component, we can use <code>v-bind</code> to map the <code>isDone</code> property to the <code>checked</code> attribute on the <code><input></code> element. Both of the following are equivalent:</p> <div class="code-example"><div class="example-header"><span class="language-name">vue</span></div><pre class="brush: vue notranslate"><code><input type="checkbox" id="todo-item" v-bind:checked="isDone" /> <input type="checkbox" id="todo-item" :checked="isDone" /> </code></pre></div> <p>You're free to use whichever pattern you would like. It's best to keep it consistent though. Because the shorthand syntax is more commonly used, this tutorial will stick to that pattern.</p> <p>So let's do this. Update your <code><input></code> element now to include <code>:checked="isDone"</code>.</p> <p>Test out your component by passing <code>:done="true"</code> to the <code>ToDoItem</code> call in <code>App.vue</code>. Note that you need to use the <code>v-bind</code> syntax, because otherwise <code>true</code> is passed as a string. The displayed checkbox should be checked.</p> <div class="code-example"><div class="example-header"><span class="language-name">vue</span></div><pre class="brush: vue notranslate"><code><template> <div id="app"> <h1>My To-Do List</h1> <ul> <li> <to-do-item label="My ToDo Item" :done="true"></to-do-item> </li> </ul> </div> </template> </code></pre></div> <p>Try changing <code>true</code> to <code>false</code> and back again, reloading your app in between to see how the state changes.</p></div></section><section aria-labelledby="giving_todos_a_unique_id"><h2 id="giving_todos_a_unique_id"><a href="#giving_todos_a_unique_id">Giving Todos a unique id</a></h2><div class="section-content"><p>Great! We now have a working checkbox where we can set the state programmatically. However, we can currently only add one <code>ToDoList</code> component to the page because the <code>id</code> is hardcoded. This would result in errors with assistive technology since the <code>id</code> is needed to correctly map labels to their checkboxes. To fix this, we can programmatically set the <code>id</code> in the component data.</p> <p>We can use the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/API/Crypto/randomUUID"><code>Crypto.randomUUID()</code></a> method to generate a unique string to keep component <code>id</code>s unique. <code>randomUUID()</code> is built into modern browsers and provides a straightforward way to ensure uniqueness without relying on external libraries.</p> <p>Next, add an <code>id</code> field to the <code>data</code> property as shown below; this uses <code>crypto.randomUUID()</code> to return a unique string, which we then prefix with <code>todo-</code>:</p> <div class="code-example"><div class="example-header"><span class="language-name">js</span></div><pre class="brush: js notranslate"><code>export default { props: { label: { required: true, type: String }, done: { default: false, type: Boolean }, }, data() { return { isDone: this.done, id: "todo-" + crypto.randomUUID(), }; }, }; </code></pre></div> <p>Next, bind the <code>id</code> to both our checkbox's <code>id</code> attribute and the label's <code>for</code> attribute, updating the existing <code>id</code> and <code>for</code> attributes as shown:</p> <div class="code-example"><div class="example-header"><span class="language-name">vue</span></div><pre class="brush: vue notranslate"><code><template> <div> <input type="checkbox" :id="id" :checked="isDone" /> <label :for="id">{{ label }}</label> </div> </template> </code></pre></div></div></section><section aria-labelledby="summary"><h2 id="summary"><a href="#summary">Summary</a></h2><div class="section-content"><p>And that will do for this article. At this point we have a nicely-working <code>ToDoItem</code> component that can be passed a label to display, will store its checked state, and will be rendered with a unique <code>id</code> each time it is called. You can check if the unique <code>id</code>s are working by temporarily adding more <code><to-do-item></to-do-item></code> calls into <code>App.vue</code>, and then checking their rendered output with your browser's DevTools.</p> <p>Now we're ready to add multiple <code>ToDoItem</code> components to our app. In our next article we'll look at adding a set of todo item data to our <code>App.vue</code> component, which we'll then loop through and display inside <code>ToDoItem</code> components using the <code>v-for</code> directive.</p><ul class="prev-next"> <li><a class="button

Let's start by adding the <code>label</code> prop to the component template.</p>\n<p>In your <code><template></code>, replace the contents of the <code><label></code> element with <code>{{label}}</code>.</p>\n<p><code>{{}}</code> is a special template syntax in Vue, which lets us print the result of JavaScript expressions defined in our class, inside our template, including values and methods. It's important to know that content inside <code>{{}}</code> is displayed as text and not HTML. In this case, we're printing the value of the <code>label</code> prop.</p>\n<p>Your component's template section should now look like this:</p>\n<div class=\"code-example\"><div class=\"example-header\"><span class=\"language-name\">vue</span></div><pre class=\"brush: vue notranslate\"><code><template>\n <div>\n <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"todo-item\" />\n <label for=\"todo-item\">{{ label }}</label>\n </div>\n</template>\n</code></pre></div>\n<p>Go back to your browser and you'll see the todo item rendered as before, but without a label (oh no!). Go to your browser's DevTools and you'll see a warning along these lines in the console:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: plain notranslate\">[Vue warn]: Missing required prop: \"label\"\n\nfound in\n\n---> <ToDoItem> at src/components/ToDoItem.vue\n <App> at src/App.vue\n <Root>\n</pre>\n<p>This is because we marked the <code>label</code> as a required prop, but we never gave the component that prop — we've defined where inside the template we want it used, but we haven't passed it into the component when calling it. Let's fix that.</p>\n<p>Inside your <code>App.vue</code> file, add a <code>label</code> prop to the <code><to-do-item></to-do-item></code> component, just like a regular HTML attribute:</p>\n<div class=\"code-example\"><div class=\"example-header\"><span class=\"language-name\">vue</span></div><pre class=\"brush: vue notranslate\"><code><to-do-item label=\"My ToDo Item\"></to-do-item>\n</code></pre></div>\n<p>Now you'll see the label in your app, and the warning won't be spat out in the console again.</p>\n<p>So that's props in a nutshell. Next we'll move on to how Vue persists data state.</p>"}},{"type":"prose","value":{"id":"vues_data_object","title":"Vue's data object","isH3":false,"content":"<p>If you change the value of the <code>label</code> prop passed into the <code><to-do-item></to-do-item></code> call in your <code>App</code> component, you should see it update. This is great. We have a checkbox, with an updatable label. However, we're currently not doing anything with the \"done\" prop — we can check the checkboxes in the UI, but nowhere in the app are we recording whether a todo item is actually done.</p>\n<p>To achieve this, we want to bind the component's <code>done</code> prop to the <code>checked</code> attribute on the <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input\"><code><input></code></a> element, so that it can serve as a record of whether the checkbox is checked or not. However, it's important that props serve as one-way data binding — a component should never alter the value of its own props. There are a lot of reasons for this. In part, components editing props can make debugging a challenge. If a value is passed to multiple children, it could be hard to track where the changes to that value were coming from. In addition, changing props can cause components to re-render. So mutating props in a component would trigger the component to rerender, which may in-turn trigger the mutation again.</p>\n<p>To work around this, we can manage the <code>done</code> state using Vue's <code>data</code> property. The <code>data</code> property is where you can manage local state in a component, it lives inside the component object alongside the <code>props</code> property and has the following structure:</p>\n<div class=\"code-example\"><div class=\"example-header\"><span class=\"language-name\">js</span></div><pre class=\"brush: js notranslate\"><code>data() {\n return {\n key: value\n }\n}\n</code></pre></div>\n<p>You'll note that the <code>data</code> property is a function. This is to keep the data values unique for each instance of a component at runtime — the function is invoked separately for each component instance. If you declared data as just an object, all instances of that component would share the same values. This is a side-effect of the way Vue registers components and something you do not want.</p>\n<p>You use <code>this</code> to access a component's props and other properties from inside data, as you may expect. We'll see an example of this shortly.</p>\n<div class=\"notecard note\">\n <p><strong>Note:</strong> Because of the way that <code>this</code> works in arrow functions (binding to the parent's context), you wouldn't be able to access any of the necessary attributes from inside <code>data</code> if you used an arrow function. So don't use an arrow function for the <code>data</code> property.</p>\n</div>\n<p>So let's add a <code>data</code> property to our <code>ToDoItem</code> component. This will return an object containing a single property that we'll call <code>isDone</code>, whose value is <code>this.done</code>.</p>\n<p>Update the component object like so:</p>\n<div class=\"code-example\"><div class=\"example-header\"><span class=\"language-name\">js</span></div><pre class=\"brush: js notranslate\"><code>export default {\n props: {\n label: { required: true, type: String },\n done: { default: false, type: Boolean },\n },\n data() {\n return {\n isDone: this.done,\n };\n },\n};\n</code></pre></div>\n<p>Vue does a little magic here — it binds all of your props directly to the component instance, so we don't have to call <code>this.props.done</code>. It also binds other attributes (<code>data</code>, which you've already seen, and others like <code>methods</code>, <code>computed</code>, etc.) directly to the instance. This is, in part, to make them available to your template. The down-side to this is that you need to keep the keys unique across these attributes. This is why we called our <code>data</code> attribute <code>isDone</code> instead of <code>done</code>.</p>\n<p>So now we need to attach the <code>isDone</code> property to our component. In a similar fashion to how Vue uses <code>{{}}</code> expressions to display JavaScript expressions inside templates, Vue has a special syntax to bind JavaScript expressions to HTML elements and components: <strong><code>v-bind</code></strong>. The <code>v-bind</code> expression looks like this:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: plain notranslate\">v-bind:attribute=\"expression\"\n</pre>\n<p>In other words, you prefix whatever attribute/prop you want to bind to with <code>v-bind:</code>. In most cases, you can use a shorthand for the <code>v-bind</code> property, which is to just prefix the attribute/prop with a colon. So <code>:attribute=\"expression\"</code> works the same as <code>v-bind:attribute=\"expression\"</code>.</p>\n<p>So in the case of the checkbox in our <code>ToDoItem</code> component, we can use <code>v-bind</code> to map the <code>isDone</code> property to the <code>checked</code> attribute on the <code><input></code> element. Both of the following are equivalent:</p>\n<div class=\"code-example\"><div class=\"example-header\"><span class=\"language-name\">vue</span></div><pre class=\"brush: vue notranslate\"><code><input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"todo-item\" v-bind:checked=\"isDone\" />\n\n<input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"todo-item\" :checked=\"isDone\" />\n</code></pre></div>\n<p>You're free to use whichever pattern you would like. It's best to keep it consistent though. Because the shorthand syntax is more commonly used, this tutorial will stick to that pattern.</p>\n<p>So let's do this. Update your <code><input></code> element now to include <code>:checked=\"isDone\"</code>.</p>\n<p>Test out your component by passing <code>:done=\"true\"</code> to the <code>ToDoItem</code> call in <code>App.vue</code>. Note that you need to use the <code>v-bind</code> syntax, because otherwise <code>true</code> is passed as a string. The displayed checkbox should be checked.</p>\n<div class=\"code-example\"><div class=\"example-header\"><span class=\"language-name\">vue</span></div><pre class=\"brush: vue notranslate\"><code><template>\n <div id=\"app\">\n <h1>My To-Do List</h1>\n <ul>\n <li>\n <to-do-item label=\"My ToDo Item\" :done=\"true\"></to-do-item>\n </li>\n </ul>\n </div>\n</template>\n</code></pre></div>\n<p>Try changing <code>true</code> to <code>false</code> and back again, reloading your app in between to see how the state changes.</p>"}},{"type":"prose","value":{"id":"giving_todos_a_unique_id","title":"Giving Todos a unique id","isH3":false,"content":"<p>Great!
