Dynamically add and remove classes on mouseover - Vue.js

A more scalable solution would be to use a directive:

// Directives
Vue.directive('add-class-hover', {
  bind(el, binding, vnode) {    
    const { value="" } = binding;
    el.addEventListener('mouseenter',()=> {
        el.classList.add(value)
    });
    el.addEventListener('mouseleave',()=> {
        el.classList.remove(value)
    });
  },
  unbind(el, binding, vnode) {
    el.removeEventListener('mouseenter');
    el.removeEventListener('mouseleave')
  }
})

new Vue({
  el: "#app"
})
.hoverClass {
color: red;
font-weight: 700;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.17/vue.js"></script>

<div id="app">
  <h1 v-add-class-hover="'hoverClass'">
    Text
  </h1>
</div>

Listen for both mouseover and mouseout and set the class based on that.

console.clear()

new Vue({
  el: "#app",
  data:{
    isHovering: false
  }
})
.hovering{
  color: red
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.13/vue.js"></script>
<div id="app">
  <h1 @mouseover="isHovering = true" 
      @mouseout="isHovering = false" 
      :class="{hovering: isHovering}">
    {{ isHovering ? "Woot! Hovered" : "Hover over me" }}
  </h1>
</div>

Or just use CSS.

console.clear()

new Vue({
  el: "#app",
  data:{
    isHovering: false
  }
})
h1:hover{
  color: red
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.13/vue.js"></script>
<div id="app">
  <h1 @mouseover="isHovering = true" 
      @mouseout="isHovering = false" >
    {{ isHovering ? "Woot! Hovered" : "Hover over me" }}
  </h1>
</div>

In case someone is looking for something that actually works with v-for, use this:

<div v-for="(item, index) in [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]" @mouseenter="state.hover=index" @mouseleave="state.hover=false">
  <p :class="{ 'yourClass': state.hover == index }">Hello World</p>
</div>

The above answers will trigger all of your elements inside a v-for loop at the same time.


Add the following to the div you want to animate on hover :

@mouseover="isHovering = item.id" @mouseout="isHovering = false" :class="isHovering == item.id ? 'slower animated pulse' : ''"
