Creating a Vue Component

Very simple. All components have

<template>
  <!-- html content-->
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    // data, computed, lifecycle, methods here
  }
</script>

<style scoped>
  /*styling here*/
</style>

Passing Props to the Component.

Again, pretty simple, we want to bind the props to the component we want to pass it to.

<template>
  <SomeComponent v-bind:someProps="propsInParentComponent" />
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data () {
    return {
      propsInParentComponent: 'some props'
    }
  }
}
</script>

Then, in the child component, we have to accept the props.
Please note the short hand for 'v-bind:' is just ':'

<template>
  <span>{{someProps}}</span>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    props: {
      someProps: {
        required: true,
        type: String
      }
    }
  }
</script>

Data

Basically where we give 'state' to the component. Vue looks at the data object and adds all the properties to Vue's reactivity system. When the values of those properties change, the view will “react”, updating to match the new values.

Computed properties

The template is meant to be kept simple. To display complex logic, we generally use computed properties. The advantages are as following

Abstracts complex logic away from the view
Computed properties are cached based on their reactive dependencies. Will only change when some of its reactive dependencies have changed.

Methods

This is where we want to create side-effects, change the data properties. Please note, a method will always run the function whenever a re-render happens.
