Vue.js is Javascript open-source front-end building platform to design single-page application. Vue.js developers can use a single file component instance to build rich applications. You can combine the codes with Vue.js for better performance. Vue.js frameworks offers advantages over architectures such as React and Angular because of its lightweight nature and unique framework design principles. Here we’ve curated some of the evolving vue.js best practices. As Vue.js is becoming more and more favourable, these best practices will help you to develop an effortless web app.

Top 11 Best Practices For Vue.js Development-

1. Use Data Property On Component-
This is an important Vue.js best practice. You should use data property on a component as a function that returns an object instead of data property as a simple object. When the value of data is object, it’s shared across all instances of component.

data: {
title: ”
}

If you want to use title property from different places of component and somewhere you have changed the value of it, it will be reflected at all places of the component because you are using an object and each instance of component references the same data object, changing the title from one portion will also change the title of every other portion.

Use data property as a function so that each part of component gets a different instance of data property.

data: function () {
return {
title: ”
}
}

2. Use Kebab-Case-
You must always try to use kebab-case while writing any custom event name as event names are automatically changed to kebab-case internally if we don’t provide it in kebab-case. Let us see an example of data sharing between parent & child component:

Child:

Increment

Parent html:
<counter
…
v-on:increase-count=“increaseCounter”

Parent js:
methods: {
increaseCounter: function (count) {
this.value += count
}
}

3. Keep npm Packages Updated-
According to the Vue Style guide base components can only contain HTML elements, 3rd party UI components and other some additional based components.
Update npm packages on regular basis to avoid any dependency errors and to use the latest/updated features provided by individual packages.
For example, if you have configured vuetify the design patterns in the VueJS project, vuetify regularly updates its packages to provide the best UI with some breaking changes. Hence it is better to update NPN packages regularly to avoid bulky or breaking changes.
npm outdated // run to check outdated npm packages

npx npm-check-updates -u // run to check updates outdated npm packages

npm install // run to update npm packages
