Vue v-if Directive

Example

Using the v-if directive to create a <div> element if the condition is 'true'.

<div v-if="createImgDiv">
  <img src="/img_apple.svg" alt="apple">
  <p>This is an apple.</p>
</div>

Example 1

Using v-if with a data property as the conditional expression, together with v-else.

Example 2

Using v-if with a comparison check as the conditional expression, together with v-else.

Example 3

Using v-if together with v-else-if and v-else to display a status message based on the number of typewriters in storage.

Example 4

Using v-if with a native JavaScript method as the conditional expression, together with v-else.

Example 5

Using v-if to render a <div> tag when data is received from the API.

<template>
  <h1>Example</h1>
  <p>Click the button to fetch data with an HTTP request.</p>
  <p>Each click generates an object with a random user from <a href="https://random-data-api.com/" target="_blank">https://random-data-api.com/</a>.</p>
  <p>The robot avatars are lovingly delivered by <a href="http://Robohash.org" target="_blank">RoboHash</a>.</p>
  <button @click="fetchData">Fetch data</button>
  <div v-if="data" id="dataDiv">
    <img :src="data.avatar" alt="avatar">
    <pre>{{ data.first_name + " " + data.last_name }}</pre>
    <p>"{{ data.employment.title }}"</p>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        data: null,
      };
    },
    methods: {
      async fetchData() {      
        const response = await fetch("https://random-data-api.com/api/v2/users"); 
        this.data = await response.json();
      },    
    }
  };
</script>

<style>
#dataDiv {
  width: 240px;
  background-color: aquamarine;
  border: solid black 1px;
  margin-top: 10px;
  padding: 10px;
}
#dataDiv > img {
  width: 100%;
}
pre {
  font-size: larger;
  font-weight: bold;
}
</style>

Example 6

Using v-if to create a component so that the mounted lifecycle hook is triggered.

CompOne.vue:

<template>
    <h2>Component</h2>
    <p>Right after this component is added to the DOM, the mounted() function is called and we can add code to that mounted() function. In this example, an alert popup box appears after this component is mounted.</p>
    <p><strong>Note:</strong> The reason that the alert is visible before the component is visible is because the alert is called before the browser gets to render the component to the screen.</p>
  </template>
  
  <script>
  export default {
    mounted() {
      alert("The component is mounted!");
    }
  }
  </script>

App.vue:

<template>
  <h1>The 'mounted' Lifecycle Hook</h1>
  <button @click="this.activeComp = !this.activeComp">Create component</button>
  <div>
    <comp-one v-if="activeComp"></comp-one>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      activeComp: false
    }
  }
}
</script>

<style scoped>
  div {
    border: dashed black 1px;
    border-radius: 10px;
    padding: 20px;
    margin: 10px;
    width: 400px;
    background-color: lightgreen;
  }
</style>

Example 7

Using v-if to toggle a <p> element so that animations are triggered.

<template>
  <h1>Add/Remove <p> Tag</h1>
  <button @click="this.exists = !this.exists">{{btnText}}</button><br>
  <Transition>
    <p v-if="exists">Hello World!</p>
  </Transition>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      exists: false
    }
  },
  computed: {
    btnText() {
      if(this.exists) {
        return 'Remove';
      }
      else {
        return 'Add';
      }
    }
  }
}
</script>

<style scoped>
  .v-enter-from {
    opacity: 0;
    translate: -100px 0;
  }
  .v-enter-to {
    opacity: 1;
    translate: 0 0;
  }
  .v-leave-from {
    opacity: 1;
    translate: 0 0;
  }
  .v-leave-to {
    opacity: 0;
    translate: 100px 0;
  }
  p {
    background-color: lightgreen;
    display: inline-block;
    padding: 10px;
    transition: all 0.5s;
  }
</style>
