Implementing Advanced Features in Vue.js

1. Dynamic Components

Dynamic components allow you to switch between different components based on a condition without using multiple conditional statements. To create a dynamic component, use the reserved <component> tag with the ‘is’ attribute.

<component v-bind:is="currentComponent"></component>

In your Vue.js instance, you can update the value of ‘currentComponent’ to switch between components.

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  data: {
    currentComponent: 'component-a'
  },
  components: {
    'component-a': ComponentA,
    'component-b': ComponentB
  }
});

2. Custom Directives

Custom directives allow you to create reusable code that can be applied to elements in your application. You can create a custom directive using the ‘Vue.directive()’ method.

Vue.directive('focus', {
  inserted: function (el) {
    el.focus();
  }
});

To use the custom directive, add it to an element using the ‘v-‘ prefix.

<input v-focus>

3. Filters

Filters apply formatting and transformations to your data before displaying it. You can filter using the ‘Vue.filter()’ method.

Vue.filter('uppercase', function (value) {
  return value.toUpperCase();
});

To use the filter, add it to an expression using the pipe ‘|’ symbol.

{{ message | uppercase }}

4. Mixins

Mixins are a flexible way to share functionality between components. To create a mixin, define an object with the desired properties and methods.

const myMixin = {
  created: function () {
    this.myMethod();
  },
  methods: {
    myMethod: function () {
      console.log('Mixin method called');
    }
  }
};

To use the mixin, add it to a component using the ‘mixins’ property.

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  mixins: [myMixin]
});

5. Scoped Slots

Scoped slots allow you to pass data from a parent component to a slot in a child component. To create a scoped slot, use the ‘slot-scope’ attribute on a <template> tag in the parent component.

<child-component>
  <template slot-scope="props">
    <span>{{ props.data }}</span>
  </template>
</child-component>

In the child component, bind the data to the slot using the ‘v-bind’ directive.

<slot v-bind:data="myData"></slot>
