Learn VUE-JS with Real Code Examples

Updated Nov 21, 2025

Explain

Vue.js allows developers to build reactive and component-based web applications.

It provides an intuitive syntax for declarative HTML templates.

Vue combines the flexibility of a library with the capabilities of a full-featured framework when using its ecosystem.

Core Features

Two-way data binding with `v-model`

Directives like `v-if`, `v-for`, `v-show`

Computed properties and watchers

Lifecycle hooks for component management

Custom events and props for component communication

Basic Concepts Overview

Templates with HTML syntax

Reactive data properties

Directives: `v-bind`, `v-if`, `v-for`

Methods, computed properties, and watchers

Component communication with props and events

Project Structure

src/ - source code

src/components/ - Vue components

src/views/ - page-level components

src/assets/ - images, CSS, etc.

public/ - static assets and index.html

Building Workflow

Create components in `.vue` files

Use Vue CLI or Vite for project setup

Organize components in directories

Write reactive data and methods

Run development server with hot reload

Difficulty Use Cases

Beginner: basic UI components

Intermediate: small SPAs and dashboards

Advanced: large-scale SPA with Vuex/Pinia and Vue Router

Expert: server-side rendering with Nuxt.js

Community: contributing to Vue plugins and ecosystem libraries

Comparisons

Simpler learning curve than Angular

Less boilerplate than React (with JSX) for basic apps

Lightweight and performant

Full ecosystem support when using Vue Router, Vuex/Pinia

Strong template-based syntax vs JSX for declarative UIs
