vue js document getElementById shorthand

Question

Does vue js have a shorthand for document getElementById   id   like JQuery s     id      If so  where is the reference for this in the docs so I can locate other information

User · Answer

you can find your answer in the combination of these two pages in the API:

REF

ref is used to register a reference to an element or a child component. The reference will be registered under the parent component’s $refs object. If used on a plain DOM element, the reference will be that element

vm.$refs

An object that holds child components that have ref registered.

You can use the directive v-el to save an element and then use it later   https   vuejs org api  vm-els   lt div v-el my-div gt  lt  div gt   lt  -- this  els myDiv --- gt    Edit  This is deprecated in Vue 2  see     answer

Try not to do DOM manipulation by referring the DOM directly  it will have lot of performance issue  also event handling becomes more tricky when we try to access DOM directly  instead use data and directives to manipulate the DOM   This will give you more control over the manipulation  also you will be able to manage functionalities in the modular format

If you re attempting to get an element you can use Vue util query which is really just a wrapper around document querySelector but at 14 characters vs 22 characters  respectively  it is technically shorter  It also has some error handling in case the element you re searching for doesn t exist   There isn t any official documentation on Vue util  but this is the entire source of the function   function query el      if  typeof el      string         var selector   el      el   document querySelector el       if   el               NODE ENV      production   amp  amp  warn  Cannot find element      selector               return el      Repo link  Vue util query
