Vue.js simplified: Components, props, and slots
Blog post from LogRocket
The article serves as a comprehensive guide for building a Vue.js application using Vue CLI and Bootstrap CSS, explaining the concepts of components, props, and slots to create reusable code elements. It starts with installation instructions for Vue.js and Vue CLI, followed by a practical example of building a book listing app called "bookapp." The guide demonstrates how to structure the project directory, create a parent component (BookList.vue) and a child component (BookCard.vue), and use props to pass data from the parent to the child component. The article also covers the use of slots and named slots to allow parent components to dictate how child components render content, and explains scoped slots to enable data flow from child to parent components, exemplified by passing a computed property called previewSlug. The importance of reusability in coding is emphasized throughout, and the piece concludes with a mention of tools like LogRocket for debugging and monitoring Vue.js applications.
