Dynamically adding different components in Vue
Based on the code from the answer, one could add dynamic content for each one of those form controls as well ( the full concept could be seen from the following site):
Vue.component('form-input', {
template: '#form-input'
, props: ['label','cnt']
});
Vue.component('form-select', {
template: '#form-select'
, props: ['label','cnt']
});
Vue.component('form-textarea', {
template: '#form-textarea'
, props: ['label','cnt']
});
new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: {
fields: [],
count: 0
}
, mounted() {
// fetch those from back-end
this.addFormElement('form-input','lbl', "form-input-content")
this.addFormElement('form-textarea','lbl', "form-textarea-content")
var select_cnt = [
{'value': 1, 'text': 'item-01'},
{'value': 2, 'text': 'item-02'}
]
this.addFormElement('form-select','some-label',select_cnt)
}
, methods: {
addFormElement: function(type,label,cnt) {
this.fields.push({
'type': type
, id: this.count++
, 'label':label
, 'cnt':cnt
});
}
}
})<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/vue.min.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<component v-for="field in fields" v-bind:is="field.type" :key="field.id" :cnt="field.cnt" :label="field.label"></component>
</div>
<script type="x-template" id="form-input">
<div v-on:keyup.tab="this.document.execCommand('selectAll',false,null);">
<label>{{label}}</label>
<input type="text" :value="cnt"/>
</div>
</script>
<script type="x-template" id="form-textarea">
<div v-on:keyup.tab="this.document.execCommand('selectAll',false,null);">
<label>{{label}}</label>
<textarea :value="cnt"></textarea>
</div>
</script>
<script type="x-template" id="form-select">
<div>
<label>Select</label>
<select>
<option v-for="oitem in cnt" :value="oitem.value">{{oitem.text}}</option>
</select>
</div>
<div v-html="cnt"></div>
</script>Ok, so I looked into dynamic elements and managed to pull this together:
Vue.component('form-input', {
template: '#form-input'
});
Vue.component('form-select', {
template: '#form-select'
});
Vue.component('form-textarea', {
template: '#form-textarea'
});
new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: {
fields: [],
count: 0
},
methods: {
addFormElement: function(type) {
this.fields.push({
'type': type,
id: this.count++
});
}
}
})<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/vue.min.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<component v-for="field in fields" v-bind:is="field.type" :key="field.id"></component>
<button type="button" v-on:click="addFormElement('form-input')">Add Textbox</button>
<button type="button" v-on:click="addFormElement('form-select')">Add Select</button>
<button type="button" v-on:click="addFormElement('form-textarea')">Add Textarea</button>
</div>
<script type="x-template" id="form-input">
<div>
<label>Text</label>
<input type="text" />
</div>
</script>
<script type="x-template" id="form-select">
<div>
<label>Select</label>
<select>
<option>Option 1</option>
<option>Option 2</option>
</select>
</div>
</script>
<script type="x-template" id="form-textarea">
<div>
<label>Textarea</label>
<textarea></textarea>
</div>
</script>So instead of creating a new form-input component for each item in the fields array, I'm creating a new component that is associated with the correct component via the type property of the fields
You can pass the field object as props of your form-input component and make the type dynamic:
Vue.component('form-input', {
template: '#form-input',
props: ['field']
})
new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: {
fields: [],
inputType: '',
count: 0
},
methods: {
addFormElement(val) {
this.fields.push({type: val, placeholder: 'Textbox ' + (++this.count)});
}
}
})<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.16/vue.min.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<h3>Add form element</h3>
<select size="3" v-model='inputType' @click="addFormElement(inputType)">
<option value="text">Text</option>
<option value="checkbox">Checkbox</option>
<option value="radio">Radio</option>
</select>
<p>
<form-input v-for="field in fields" :field="field"></form-input>
</p>
</div>
<template id="form-input">
<div>
<label>{{ field.type }}</label>
<input :type="field.type" />
</div>
</template>
