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
