VueJS render property inside html string using v-h

Question

I have a string of html where I get from Editor and stored in the database.

<h3><a href="#" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><em><strong>Profile Of User:</strong></em></a></h3><p></p><p>{{user}}</p>

I want to retrieve it from the database and render it as HTML. when I use v-html, it will be rendered as:

<v-card-text v-html="content"></v-card-text>

Profile Of User:

{{user}}

How to render {{hello}} from data property if I have data property like this:

data() {
        return {
            user: "Lim Socheat",
            content:"<h3><a href="#" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><em><strong>Profile Of User:</strong></em></a></h3><p></p><p>{{user}}</p>"
        };
    },

Expected Result:

Profile Of User:

Lim Socheat

because {{ user }} will be rendered as Lim Socheat

                    .then(response => {
                        this.content = response.content;
                    })
                    .catch(error => {

            evalInContext(string) {

            }
        },

        watch: {
            id: {
                handler() {

            }
        }
    };
    </script>

Answer 2

Make content a computed property. And then use it like this:

  computed: {
    content() {
       return '<h3><a href="#" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><em><strong>Profile Of User:</strong></em></a></h3><p></p><p>' + this.user + '</p>';
    }
  }

You can use all variables defined in data in this way.

Update: Since OP is getting the HTML string from backend, they need to replace the variables in this case. We have kept a map of all variables that might come and then we are creating a Regex dynamically to replace the said key from code.

  computed: {
    content() {
      // keep a map of all your variables
      let valueMap = {
        user: this.user,
        otherKey: 250
      };
      let value = '<h3><a href="#" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><em><strong>Profile Of User:</strong></em></a></h3><p></p><p>{{user}}</p>';
      let allKeys = Object.keys(valueMap);
      allKeys.forEach((key) => {
        var myRegExp = new RegExp('{{' + key + '}}','i');
        value = value.replace(myRegExp, valueMap[key]);
      });
      return value;
    }
  }
