I'm a newbie with Vue.js and I'm learning with an online course on Udemy. The instructor gave me some exercises to do. One of the exercises was making an input text with a default value. I did it very well using v-model. However, the instructor used v-bind:value and I don't understand why.
Can someone give me a simple explanation about the difference between these two and when it's better use each one?
From here -
Remember:
<input v-model="something">
is just syntactic sugar for:
<input
v-bind:value="something"
v-on:input="something = $event.target.value"
>
or (shorthand syntax):
<input
:value="something"
@input="something = $event.target.value"
>
So v-model
is a two-way binding for form inputs. It combines v-bind
, which brings a js value into the markup, and v-on:input
to update the js value.
Use v-model
when you can. Use v-bind
/v-on
when you must :-) I hope your answer was accepted.
v-model
works with all the basic HTML input types (text, textarea, number, radio, checkbox, select). You can use v-model
with input type=date
if your model stores dates as ISO strings (yyyy-mm-dd). If you want to use date objects in your model (a good idea as soon as you're going to manipulate or format them), do this.
