Using the Basic Directives

Directives are special attributes that apply Vue.js functionality to HTML elements in a component’s template. In this chapter, I explain how to use the basic built-in directives that Vue.js provides, which provide some of the most commonly required features in web application development. In Chapters 13– 15, I describe more complex directives, and in Chapter 26, I explain how to create custom directives when the built-in ones don’t provide the features you require. Table 12-1 puts the built-in directives in context.
