Props are not rendering inside component

I have a simple setup: I have a parent component that passes data using props to a child component. However, when I pass the props to the child component, the data is not filled in. All the tutorials and guides I've followed use the same syntax as I'm using, so I must be missing something. I just can't seem to figure out what.
// LoginPage.vue
<script>
import Card from '../generic/Card.vue';
import Input from '../generic/Input.vue';
export default {
components: {
Card,
Input,
}
}
</script>
<template>
<Card>
<template v-slot:title>Sign in</template>
<template v-slot:content>
<Input :type="text" :placeholder="Email"></Input>
</template>
</Card>
</template>
// generic/Card.vue
<template>
<div class="card rounded-md p-8 border-2 border-sgray hover:border-sgreen text-center">
<div class="text-xl font-medium text-black">
<slot name="title"></slot>
</div>
<slot name="content"></slot>
</div>
</template>
// generic/Input.vue
<script>
export default {
props: {
type: String,
placeholder: String,
value: String,
}
}
</script>
<template>
<input type="{{ type }}" placeholder="{{ placeholder }}" value="{{ value }}"/>
</template>
When I take a look at the code in the browser, I get this:
<div id="app" data-v-app="">
<div class="flex h-screen">
<div class="m-auto">
<div class="card rounded-md p-8 border-2 border-sgray hover:border-sgreen text-center">
<div class="text-xl font-medium text-black">Sign in</div>
<input type="{{ type }}" placeholder="{{ placeholder }}">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
This line is the problem:
<input type="{{ type }}" placeholder="{{ placeholder }}">
The data does not get filled in where I want them to, but it just returns {{ type }} or {{ placeholder }}, without actually filling in the passed props.
What am I doing wrong?

Mustache {{ }} is actually used for display purposes.
If we want to bind any variable inside an HTML attribute, we should use the v-bind directive.
<input v-bind:type="type" v-bind:placeholder="placeholder">
// OR
<input :type="type" :placeholder="placeholder">
A small tip-
We should avoid using the reserved keywords as variable names like type, define, and many more. It can create confusion.
What you did is also fine but it's better to use the props like this-
props: {
type: {
type: String,
// add any other validation
},
placeholder: {
type: String,
// add any other validation
}
}

Try to bind props in component:
<input :type="type" :placeholder="placeholder" :value="value"/>

BlogCards Component doesn't show up on vue

I have a web app which shows the blog posts in a grid. But the BlogCards component in the Home.vue just outputs nothing, whereas it should output the blogs in a grid format. All the datas are stored in firebase. If I go to /blogs, I can see the blogs in grid format, but it doesn't work on the Home.vue. It also spits out the Vue Warn: property or method "blogPostsCards" is not defined on the instance but referenced during render.
I took this code from this tutorial at 5:31:05 minute mark.
Any solution to this problem.
Home.vue
<template>
<div class="home">
<BlogPost :post="post" v-for="(post, index) in blogPostsFeed" :key="index" />
<div class="blog-card-wrap">
<div class="container">
<h3>View more recent blogs</h3>
<div class="blog-cards">
<BlogCards :post="post" v-for="(post, index) in blogPostsCard" :key="index" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import BlogPost from '../components/BlogPost.vue'
import BlogCards from '../components/BlogCards.vue'
export default {
name: "Home",
components: {
BlogPost,
BlogCards,
Arrow
},
computed : {
blogPostsCards() {
return this.$store.getters.blogPostsCards;
},
blogPostsFeed() {
return this.$store.getters.blogPostsFeed;
},
}
};
</script>
BlogCards.vue
<template>
<div class="blog-card">
<img :src="post.blogCoverPhoto" alt="">
<div class="info">
<h4>{{ post.blogTitle }}</h4>
<h6>Posted on: {{ new Date(post.blogDate).toLocaleString('en-us', {dateStyle: "long"})}}</h6>
<router-link class="link" to="#" >
View Post <Arrow class="arrow" />
</router-link>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: "blogCard",
props: ["post"],
computed: {
editPost() {
return this.$store.state.editPost
},
}
}
</script>
And getter function in store/index.js
getters:{
blogPostsFeed(state){
return state.blogPosts.slice(0,2);
},
blogPostsCards(state) {
return state.blogPosts.slice(2,6);
},
},

<BlogCards :post="post" v-for="(post, index) in blogPostsCard" :key="index" />
In your Home.vue >> change blogPostsCard to blogPostsCards because you use blogPostsCards in your computed so it gives you that error.

Rendering VUE slot only if content matches specific value

I have two routes that render the same component but with different data coming from an API.
This component has a child component called <base-section> that has a v-if directive that checks if a specific slot has content or not (because if it has no content, I don't want the slot to show).
However, there might be more than one instance of this child component on the same parent component, and therefore, if one of the instances has content in the slot, but the other one doesn't, VUE will automatically assume that all slots have content.
Therefore, I would like to know if there is any way of checking the specific slot content of each instance and then compare it with the data coming from the API. Please find my code below:
Parent component (Content.vue)
<template>
<base-section
v-for="entry in this.entries"
:key="entry.title"
lang="lang-markup"
:title="entry.title"
>
<template v-slot:content>
<span v-html="entry.content"></span>
</template>
<template v-slot:examples>
<div v-html="entry.examples"></div>
</template>
<template v-slot:code>
{{ entry.code }}
</template>
</base-section>
</template>
Child component (BaseSection.vue)
<template>
<hr class="my-6" />
<h4 class="text-salmon">{{ title }}</h4>
<section>
<div class="section-sm txt-justify" v-if="this.$slots.content">
<slot name="content"></slot>
</div>
<span class="medal bg-light text-dark code-medal">Examples</span>
<div class="section-sm border-light-1 mb-3">
<slot name="examples"></slot>
</div>
<span class="medal text-dark code-medal">Code</span>
<pre :class="lang + ' border-light-1 bg-light'">
<code><slot name="code"></slot></code>
</pre>
</section>
</template>
The data coming from the API follows this structure:
getData() {
const url = this.apiUrl + this.$route.name + this.apiToken
fetch(url)
.then((collection) => collection.json())
.then((collection) => {
const entries = [];
this.entries = [];
for (const id in collection.entries) {
if (collection.entries[id].Version === this.byteVersion) {
entries.push({
title: collection.entries[id].Title,
content: collection.entries[id].Content,
examples: collection.entries[id].Examples,
code: collection.entries[id].Code,
});
}
}
this.entries = entries;
});
}
Thank you very much for your help!
Regards,
T.

Maybe you can pass the "entry.content" into your BaseSection component. and v-if the entryContent.
Parent component (Content.vue)
<template>
<base-section
v-for="entry in this.entries"
:key="entry.title"
lang="lang-markup"
:title="entry.title"
:entryContent="entry.content"
>
<template v-slot:content>
<span v-html="entry.content"></span>
</template>
<template v-slot:examples>
<div v-html="entry.examples"></div>
</template>
<template v-slot:code>
{{ entry.code }}
</template>
</base-section>
</template>
Child component (BaseSection.vue)
<div class="section-sm txt-justify" v-if="entryContent">
<slot name="content"></slot>
</div>
Or you can v-if your content template
<template v-slot:content v-if="entry.content">
<span v-html="entry.content"></span>
</template>

Is there a vue.js equivalent of ngTemplateOutlet?

Does vue.js have an equivalent of Angular's *ngTemplateOutlet directive? Let's say I have some components defined like this:
<template>
<div id="independentComponent">
Hello, {{firstName}}!
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: "independentComponent",
props: ['firstName']
}
</script>
...
<template>
<div id="someChildComponent">
<slot></slot>
<span>Let's get started.</span>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: "someChildComponent"
}
</script>
I want to be able to do something like this:
<template>
<div id="parentComponent">
<template #indepdentInstance>
<independentComponent :firstName="firstName" />
</template>
<someChildComponent>
<template #indepdentInstance></template>
</someChildComponent>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: "parentComponent",
components: {
someChildComponent,
independentComponent
},
data() {
return {
firstName: "Bob"
}
}
}
</script>
In Angular, I could accomplish this with
<div id="parentComponent">
<someChildComponent>
<ng-container *ngTemplateOutlet="independentInstance"></ng-container>
</someChildComponent>
<ng-template #independentInstance>
<independentComponent [firstName]="firstName"></independentComponent>
</ng-template>
</div>
But it looks like Vue requires the element to be written to the DOM exactly where it is in the template. Is there any way to reference an element inline and use that to pass to another component as a slot?

You cannot reuse templates like ngTemplateOutlet, but can combine idea of $refs, v-pre and runtime template compiling with v-runtime-template to achieve this.
First, create reusable template (<ng-template #independentInstance>):
<div ref="independentInstance" v-show="false">
<template v-pre> <!-- v-pre disable compiling content of template -->
<div> <!-- We need this div, because only one root element allowed in templates -->
<h2>Reusable template</h2>
<input type="text" v-model="testContext.readWriteVar">
<input type="text" v-model="readOnlyVar">
<progress-bar></progress-bar>
</div>
</template>
</div>
Now, you can reuse independentInstance template:
<v-runtime-template
:template="$refs.independentInstance.innerHTML"
v-if="$refs.independentInstance">
</v-runtime-template>
But keep in mind that you cannot modify readOnlyVar from inside independentInstancetemplate - vue will warn you with:
[Vue warn]: Avoid mutating a prop directly since the value will be overwritten whenever the parent component re-renders. Instead, use a data or computed property based on the prop's value. Prop being mutated: "readOnlyVar"
But you can wrap it in object and it will work:
#Component({
components: {
VRuntimeTemplate
}
})
export default class ObjectList extends Vue {
reusableContext = {
readWriteVar: '...'
};
readOnlyVar = '...';
}

You could try Portal vue written by LinusBorg a core Vue team member.
PortalVue is a set of two components that allow you to render a
component's template (or a part of it) anywhere in the document - even
outside the part controlled by your Vue App!
Sample code:
<template>
<div id="parentComponent">
<portal to="independentInstance">
<!-- This slot content will be rendered wherever the <portal-target>
with name 'independentInstance' is located. -->
<independent-component :first-name="firstName" />
</portal>
<some-child-component>
<portal-target name="independentInstance">
<!--
This component can be located anywhere in your App.
The slot content of the above portal component will be rendered here.
-->
</portal-target>
</some-child-component>
</div>
</template>
There is also a vue-simple-portal written by the same author that is smaller but that mounts the component to end of body element.

My answer from #NekitoSP gave me an idea for a solution. I have implemented the sample below. It worked for me. Perhaps you want to use it as a custom component with props.
keywords: #named #template #vue
<template>
<div class="container">
<div ref="templateRef" v-if="false">write here your template content and add v-if for hide in current place</div>
....some other contents goes here
<p v-html="getTemplate('templateRef')"></p>
</div>
</template>
<script lang="ts">
import Vue from 'vue';
Vue.extend({
methods:{
getTemplate(tempRef){
return this.$refs[tempRef].innerHTML
}
}
})
</script>

X-Templates
Use an x-template. Define a script tag inside the index.html file.
The x-template then can be referenced in multiple components within the template definition as #my-template.
Run the snippet for an example.
See the Vue.js doc more information about x-templates.
Vue.component('my-firstname', {
template: '#my-template',
data() {
return {
label: 'First name'
}
}
});
Vue.component('my-lastname', {
template: '#my-template',
data() {
return {
label: 'Last name'
}
}
});
new Vue({
el: '#app'
})
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.17/vue.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<my-firstname></my-firstname>
<my-lastname></my-lastname>
</div>
<script type="text/x-template" id="my-template">
<div>
<label>{{ label }}</label>
<input />
</div>
</script>

Not really sure i understand your problem here, but i'll try to give you something that i will opt to do if i want to add two components in one template.
HeaderSection.vue
<template>
<div id="header_id" :style="'background:'+my_color">
welcome to my blog
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
props: ['my_color']
}
</script>
BodySection.vue
<template>
<div id="body_id">
body section here
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
}
</script>
home.vue
<template>
<div id="parentComponent">
<header-section :color="my_color" />
<body-section />
</div>
</template>
<script>
import HeaderSection from "./components/HeaderSection.vue"
import BodySection from "./components/BodySection.vue"
export default {
name: "home",
components: {
HeaderSection,
BodySection
},
data() {
return {
my_color: "red"
}
}
}
</script>

Dynamically add a child component in Vue JS

I need some help in Vue JS and Laravel with adding a child vue component.
I have a parent component called "wrapper" and some child components called like "show-1", "show-2", "show-3" ... etc.
Parent component:
<template>
<div class="card border-light">
<div class="card-header">
<h5 class="title">{{ title }}</h5>
</div>
<div class="card-body">
<component
is="view"
></component >
</div>
<div class="card-footer"></div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
props : ['title'],
data() {
return {
view : ''
}
}
}
</script>
An exmaple child component like "show-1":
<template>
<div> show-1 </div>
</template>
This code below is in blade for rendering wrapper component with a dynamic child component name:
<wrapper
title="Example"
view="show-1"
></wrapper>
This code is not working but if i change the parent view data "show-1" instead of empty, it works. why ?
When I change the view prop, child vue component should be changed too. How could I do this ?
I want to pass the view attribute to parent component dynamically.

You can use :is attribute. You can read more about it here:
https://v2.vuejs.org/v2/guide/components.html#Dynamic-Components
You can use the same mount point and dynamically switch between
multiple components using the reserved element and
dynamically bind to its is attribute....
<template>
<div class="card border-light">
<div class="card-header">
<h5 class="title">{{ title }}</h5>
</div>
<div class="card-body">
<!-- make sure to use : -->
<component v-if="view" :is="view"></component >
</div>
<div class="card-footer"></div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
props : ['title'],
data() {
return {
view : ''
}
}
}
</script>

#Eduardo has the right answer. To add to it, import your components into the parent and switch between them via a data property:
...
<component :is="current"></component >
...
data: {
current: 'show1'
},
components: {
show1: Show1Component,
show2: Show2Component,
show3: Show3Component
}
The key is to bind the component using the name of the dynamic component.
