Vue conditional rendering: editing existing todos
Now it is time to add one of the major parts of functionality that we're still missing — the ability to edit existing todo items. To do this, we will take advantage of Vue's conditional rendering capabilities — namely
v-if
and
v-else
— to allow us to toggle between the existing todo item view, and an edit view where you can update todo item labels. We'll also look at adding functionality to delete todo items.

Prerequisites:
|
Familiarity with the core
HTML
,
CSS
,和
JavaScript
languages,
knowledge of the
terminal/command line
.
Vue components are written as a combination of JavaScript objects that
manage the app's data and an HTML-based template syntax that maps to
the underlying DOM structure. For installation, and to use some of the
more advanced features of Vue (like Single File Components or render
functions), you'll need a terminal with node + npm installed.

|
Objective:
|
To learn how to do conditional rendering in Vue.
|
We can start by creating a separate component to handle the editing functionality. In your
components
directory, create a new file called
ToDoItemEditForm.vue
. Copy the following code into that file:
<template>
<form class="stack-small" @submit.prevent="onSubmit">
<div>
<label class="edit-label">Edit Name for "{{label}}"</label>
<input :id="id" type="text" autocomplete="off" v-model.lazy.trim="newLabel" />
</div>
<div class="btn-group">
<button type="button" class="btn" @click="onCancel">
取消
<span class="visually-hidden">editing {{label}}</span>
</button>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn__primary">
保存
<span class="visually-hidden">edit for {{label}}</span>
</button>
</div>
</form>
</template>
<script>
export default {
props: {
label: {
type: String,
required: true
},
id: {
type: String,
required: true
}
},
data() {
return {
newLabel: this.label
};
},
methods: {
onSubmit() {
if (this.newLabel && this.newLabel !== this.label) {
this.$emit("item-edited", this.newLabel);
}
},
onCancel() {
this.$emit("edit-cancelled");
}
}
};
</script>
<style scoped>
.edit-label {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
color: #0b0c0c;
display: block;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
input {
display: inline-block;
margin-top: 0.4rem;
width: 100%;
min-height: 4.4rem;
padding: 0.4rem 0.8rem;
border: 2px solid #565656;
}
form {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
form > * {
flex: 0 0 100%;
}
</style>
注意:
Walk through the above code then read the below description to make sure you understand everything the component is doing before moving on. This is a useful way to help reinforce everything you've learned so far.
This code sets up the core of the edit functionality. We create a form with an
<input>
field for editing the name of our to-do.
There is a "Save" button and a "Cancel" button:
-
When the "Save" button is clicked, the component emits the new label via an
item-edited
事件。
-
When the "Cancel" button is clicked, the component signals this by emitting an
edit-cancelled
事件。
Before we can add
ToDoItemEditForm
to our app, we need to make a few modifications to our
ToDoItem
component. Specifically, we need to add a variable to track if the item is being edited, and a button to toggle that variable. We’ll also add a
删除
button since deletion is closely related.
Update your
ToDoItem
’s template as shown below.
<template>
<div class="stack-small">
<div class="custom-checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" :id="id" :checked="isDone"
@change="$emit('checkbox-changed')" />
<label :for="id" class="checkbox-label">{{label}}</label>
</div>
<div class="btn-group">
<button type="button" class="btn" @click="toggleToItemEditForm">
Edit <span class="visually-hidden">{{label}}</span>
</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn__danger" @click="deleteToDo">
Delete <span class="visually-hidden">{{label}}</span>
</button>
</div>
</div>
</template>
We’ve added a wrapper <div> around the whole template for layout purposes.
We've also added "Edit" and "Delete" buttons:
-
The "Edit" button, when clicked, will toggle displaying the
ToDoItemEditForm
component so we can use it to edit our todo item, via an event handler function called
toggleToItemEditForm()
. This handler will set an
isEditing
flag to true. To do that, we'll need to first define it inside our
data()
特性。
-
The "Delete" button, when clicked, will delete the todo item via an event handler function called
deleteToDo()
. In this handler we’ll emit an
item-deleted
event to our parent component so the list can be updated.
Let's define our click handlers, and the necessary
isEditing
标志。
添加
isEditing
below your existing
isDone
data point:
data() {
return {
isDone: this.done,
isEditing: false
};
}
Now add your methods inside a methods property, right below your
data()
特性:
methods: {
deleteToDo() {
this.$emit('item-deleted');
},
toggleToItemEditForm() {
this.isEditing = true;
}
}
Now we have an
isEditing
flag that we can use to signify that the item is being edited (or not). If
isEditing
is true, we want to use that flag to display our
ToDoItemEditForm
instead of the checkbox. To do that, we'll use another Vue directive:
v-if
.
v-if
directive will only render a block if the value passed to it is truthy. This is similar to how an
if
statement works in JavaScript.
v-if
also has corresponding
v-else-if
and
v-else
directives to provide the equivalent of JavaScript
else if
and
else
logic inside Vue templates.
It's important to note that
v-else
and
v-else-if
blocks need to be the first sibling of a
v-if
/
v-else-if
block, otherwise Vue will not recognize them. You can also attach
v-if
到
<template>
tag if you need to conditionally render an entire template.
Lastly, you can use a
v-if
+
v-else
at the root of your component to display only one block or another, since Vue will only render one of these blocks at a time. We'll do this in our app, as it will allow us to replace the code that displays our to-do item with the edit form.
First of all add
v-if="!isEditing"
to the root
<div>
在您的
ToDoItem
component,
<div class="stack-small" v-if="!isEditing">
Next, below that
<div>
's closing tag add the following line:
<to-do-item-edit-form v-else :id="id" :label="label"></to-do-item-edit-form>
We also need to import and register the
ToDoItemEditForm
component, so we can use it inside this template. Add this line at the top of your
<script>
元素:
import ToDoItemEditForm from "./ToDoItemEditForm";
And add a
components
property above the
props
property inside the component object:
components: {
ToDoItemEditForm
},
Now, if you go to your app and click a todo item's "Edit" button, you should see the checkbox replaced with the edit form.
However, there's currently no way to go back. To fix that, we need to add some more event handlers to our component.
First, we need to add an
itemEdited()
method to our
ToDoItem
component's
方法
. This method should take the new item label as an argument, emit an
itemEdited
event to the parent component, and set
isEditing
to
false
.
Add it now, below your existing methods:
itemEdited(newLabel) {
this.$emit('item-edited', newLabel);
this.isEditing = false;
}
Next, we'll need an
editCancelled()
method. This method will take no arguments and just serve to set
isEditing
back to
false
. Add this method below the previous one:
editCancelled() {
this.isEditing = false;
}
Last for this section, we'll add event handlers for the events emitted by the
ToDoItemEditForm
component, and attach the appropriate methods to each event.
Update your
<to-do-item-edit-form></to-do-item-edit-form>
call to look like so:
<to-do-item-edit-form v-else :id="id" :label="label"
@item-edited="itemEdited"
@edit-cancelled="editCancelled">
</to-do-item-edit-form>
Now we can toggle between the edit form and the checkbox. However, we haven’t actually handled updating the
ToDoItems
array back in
App.vue
. To fix that, we need to listen for the
item-edited
event, and update the list accordingly. We'll also want to handle the delete event so that we can delete todo items.
Add the following new methods to your
App.vue
's component object, below the existing methods inside the
方法
特性:
deleteToDo(toDoId) {
const itemIndex = this.ToDoItems.findIndex(item => item.id === toDoId);
this.ToDoItems.splice(itemIndex, 1);
},
editToDo(toDoId, newLabel) {
const toDoToEdit = this.ToDoItems.find(item => item.id === toDoId);
toDoToEdit.label = newLabel;
}
Next, we'll add the event listeners for the
item-deleted
and
item-edited
事件:
-
For
item-deleted
, you'll need to pass the
item.id
to the method.
-
For
item-edited
, you'll need to pass the
item.id
and the special
$event
variable. This is a special Vue variable used to pass event data to methods. When using native HTML events (like
click
), this will pass the native event object to your method.
更新
<to-do-item></to-do-item>
call inside the
App.vue
template to look like this:
<to-do-item :label="item.label" :done="item.done" :id="item.id"
@checkbox-changed="updateDoneStatus(item.id)"
@item-deleted="deleteToDo(item.id)"
@item-edited="editToDo(item.id, $event)">
</to-do-item>
And there you have it — you should now be able to edit and delete items from the list!
This is great so far, but we've actually introduced a bug by adding in the edit functionality. Try doing this:
-
Check (or uncheck) one of the todo checkboxes.
-
Press the "Edit" button for that todo item.
-
Cancel the edit by pressing the "Cancel" button.
Note the state of the checkbox after you cancel — not only has the app forgotten the state of the checkbox, but the done status of that todo item is now out of whack. If you try checking (or unchecking) it again, the completed count will change in the opposite way to what you'd expect. This is because the
isDone
inside
data
is only given the value
this.done
on component load.
Fixing this is fortunately quite easy — we can do this by converting our
isDone
data item into a
computed property
— another advantage of computed properties is that they preserve
reactivity
, meaning (among other things) that their state is saved when the template changes like ours is now doing.
So, let's implement the fix:
-
Remove the following line from inside our
data()
特性:
isDone: this.done,
-
Add the following block below the data() { } block:
computed: {
isDone() {
return this.done;
}
},
Now when you save and reload, you'll find that the problem is solved — the checkbox state is now preserved when you switch between todo item templates.
One of the most potentially confusing parts is the tangle of standard and custom events we've used to trigger all the interactivity in our app. To understand this better, it is a good idea to write out a flow chart, description, or diagram of what events are emitted where, where they are being listened for, and what happens as a result of them firing.
例如:
App.vue
<to-do-form>
listens for:
-
todo-added
event emitted by the
onSubmit()
method inside the
ToDoForm
component when the form is submitted.
结果
:
addToDo()
method invoked to add new todo item to the
ToDoItems
数组。
<to-do-item>
listens for:
-
checkbox-changed
event emitted by the checkbox
<input>
在
ToDoItem
component when it is checked or unchecked.
结果
:
updateDoneStatus()
method invoked to update done status of associated todo item.
-
item-deleted
event emitted by the
deleteToDo()
method inside the
ToDoItem
component when the "Delete" button is pressed.
结果
:
deleteToDo()
method invoked to delete associated todo item.
-
item-edited
event emitted by the
itemEdited()
method inside the
ToDoItem
component when the
item-edited
event emitted by the
onSubmit()
method inside the
ToDoItemEditForm
has been successfully listened for. Yes, this is a chain of two different
item-edit
events!
结果
:
editToDo()
method invoked to update label of associated todo item.
ToDoForm.vue
<form>
listens for
submit
事件。
结果
:
onSubmit()
method is invoked, which checks that the new label is not empty, then emits the
todo-added
event (which is then listened for inside
App.vue
, see above), and finally clears the new label
<input>
.
ToDoItem.vue
checkbox
<input>
listens for
change
事件。
结果
:
checkbox-changed
event emitted when the checkbox is checked/unchecked (which is then listened for inside
App.vue
; see above).
"Edit"
<button>
listens for
click
事件。
结果
:
toggleToItemEditForm()
method is invoked, which toggles
this.isEditing
to
true
, which in turn displays the todo item's edit form on re-render.
"Delete"
<button>
listens for
click
事件。
结果
:
deleteToDo()
method is invoked, which emits the
item-deleted
event (which is then listened for inside
App.vue
; see above)
<to-do-item-edit-form>
listens for:
-
item-edited
event emitted by the
onSubmit()
method inside the
ToDoItemEditForm
component when the form is successfully submitted.
结果
:
itemEdited()
method is invoked, which emits the
item-edited
event (which is then listened for inside
App.vue
, see above), and sets
this.isEditing
back to
false
, so that the edit form is no longer shown on re-render.
-
edit-cancelled
event emitted by the
onCancel()
method inside the
ToDoItemEditForm
component when the "Cancel" button is clicked.
结果
:
editCancelled()
method is invoked, which sets
this.isEditing
back to
false
, so that the edit form is no longer shown on re-render.
ToDoItemEditForm.vue
<form>
listens for
submit
事件。
结果
:
onSubmit()
method is invoked, which checks to see if the new label value is not blank, and not the same as the old one, and if so emits the
item-edited
event (which is then listened for inside
ToDoItem.vue
, see above).
"Cancel"
<button>
listens for
click
事件。
结果
:
onCancel()
method is invoked, which emits the
edit-cancelled
event (which is then listened for inside
ToDoItem.vue
, see above).
This article has been fairly intense, and we covered a lot here. We've now got edit and delete functionality in our app, which is fairly exciting. We are nearing the end of our Vue series now. The last bit of functionality to look at is focus management, or put another way, how we can improve our app's keyboard accessibility.
