This lesson

This lesson teaches Event handling: the concepts, APIs, and habits you need before advancing in Vue.

Without Event handling, you will struggle to read or extend Vue codebases and playground exercises.

You will apply Event handling in contexts like: Greenfield SPAs, dashboards, design systems, and full-stack apps that pair Vue with PHP or Node APIs.

Write TypeScript, click Run—Vue 3 loads from CDN with the template compiler, mountApp shows UI in #app, and printOutput feeds the terminal.

When you can explain the previous lesson's ideas without copying starter code.

Vue listens to DOM events with v-on or the @ shorthand. Handlers can be inline expressions or methods returned from setup().

Handler patterns

  • Method reference: @click="toggle"
  • Inline expression: @click="count++"
  • With argument: @click="remove(item.id)"
  • Event object: @submit="onSubmit($event)"

Modifiers

  • @click.stop — call stopPropagation
  • @submit.prevent — call preventDefault (essential for handled forms)
  • @keyup.enter — filter by key

Self-check

  1. When do you need .prevent on a form?
  2. How do you pass the native event to a handler?

Challenge

Toggle panel

  1. Wire the button to flip open.
  2. Show details only when open is true.

Done when: clicking the button shows and hides the details paragraph.
