What is the rendered output of this Vue template?

Consider the following Vue component template using v-bind for attribute binding:

<template>
  <button v-bind:disabled="isDisabled">Click Me</button>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'
const isDisabled = ref(true)
</script>

What will the button look like in the browser?

Vue
<template>
  <button v-bind:disabled="isDisabled">Click Me</button>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'
const isDisabled = ref(true)
</script>
AThe button is hidden from the page.
BThe button is disabled and cannot be clicked.
CThe button is visible but has no text.
DThe button is enabled and clickable.

Why does this attribute binding not update dynamically?

Given this Vue component snippet:

<template>
  <img v-bind:src="imageSrc" alt="Image"/>
</template>

<script setup>
const imageSrc = './img1.png'

setTimeout(() => {
  imageSrc = './img2.png'
}, 2000)
</script>

Why does the image not change after 2 seconds?

Vue
<template>
  <img v-bind:src="imageSrc" alt="Image"/>
</template>

<script setup>
const imageSrc = './img1.png'

setTimeout(() => {
  imageSrc = './img2.png'
}, 2000)
</script>
ABecause the setTimeout function is not allowed inside <code>&lt;script setup&gt;</code>.
BBecause the <code>v-bind</code> directive does not work with <code>src</code> attributes.
CBecause imageSrc is not reactive; it should be a ref to update dynamically.
DBecause the image path './img2.png' is invalid and cannot load.

What is the value of the title attribute after clicking the button?

Examine this Vue component:

<template>
  <button v-bind:title="tooltip" @click="changeTooltip">Hover me</button>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'
const tooltip = ref('Initial tip')
function changeTooltip() {
  tooltip.value = 'Updated tip'
}
</script>

After clicking the button once, what is the title attribute shown on hover?

Vue
<template>
  <button v-bind:title="tooltip" @click="changeTooltip">Hover me</button>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'
const tooltip = ref('Initial tip')
function changeTooltip() {
  tooltip.value = 'Updated tip'
}
</script>
ANo title attribute is present
BInitial tip
CAn empty string
DUpdated tip

Which option best explains why v-bind is preferred over string interpolation for binding attributes?

In Vue, you can bind attributes using v-bind or by using string interpolation inside attribute values. For example:

<img v-bind:src="imageUrl" />
<img src="{{ imageUrl }}" />

Why is v-bind the preferred method for binding attributes?

A<code>v-bind</code> ensures the attribute updates reactively and handles special attributes correctly, while string interpolation inside attributes does not update reactively and can cause invalid HTML.
B<code>v-bind</code> only works with event handlers, not attributes, so string interpolation is needed for attributes.
CString interpolation is faster and more efficient, but <code>v-bind</code> is easier to write.
DString interpolation automatically escapes HTML, while <code>v-bind</code> does not, making string interpolation safer.

💡 Hint

Think about how Vue updates the DOM when data changes and how attributes behave.

Practice

(1/5)
1. What does v-bind do in Vue?
easy
A. It links HTML attributes to Vue data properties so they update automatically.
B. It creates a new Vue component.
C. It runs JavaScript code inside the template.
D. It styles elements with CSS.

Solution

  1. Step 1: Understand the purpose of v-bind

    v-bind connects HTML attributes to Vue data, making the UI update when data changes.
  2. Step 2: Compare options with this purpose

    Only It links HTML attributes to Vue data properties so they update automatically. describes this behavior correctly; others describe unrelated Vue features.
  3. Final Answer:

    It links HTML attributes to Vue data properties so they update automatically. -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    v-bind connects attributes to data = C [OK]
Hint: Remember: v-bind links attributes to data [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking v-bind creates components
  • Confusing v-bind with event handling
  • Assuming v-bind styles elements
2. Which of the following is the correct shorthand syntax for v-bind:href in Vue?
easy
A. $href
B. #href
C. :href
D. @href

Solution

  1. Step 1: Recall Vue shorthand for v-bind

    The shorthand for v-bind:attr is :attr.
  2. Step 2: Match the shorthand to the attribute

    For v-bind:href, the shorthand is :href.
  3. Final Answer:

    :href -> Option C
  4. Quick Check:

    v-bind shorthand = :attr = D [OK]
Hint: Use colon (:) before attribute for v-bind shorthand [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Using @ instead of : for v-bind
  • Confusing v-bind shorthand with event binding
  • Adding extra symbols like # or $
3. Given the Vue template:
<a :href="url">Link</a>

and data: { url: 'https://vuejs.org' }, what will be the rendered href attribute in the browser?
medium
A. :href='url'
B. https://vuejs.org
C. url
D. undefined

Solution

  1. Step 1: Understand v-bind behavior

    The :href="url" binds the href attribute to the value of url in data.
  2. Step 2: Substitute the data value

    Since url is 'https://vuejs.org', the href attribute becomes this string.
  3. Final Answer:

    https://vuejs.org -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Bound attribute shows data value = A [OK]
Hint: v-bind sets attribute to data value, not literal text [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking it outputs the literal string ':href="url"'
  • Confusing attribute name with value
  • Expecting 'url' as string instead of data value
4. What is wrong with this Vue template snippet?
<img v-bind:src='imageUrl></img>
medium
A. Missing closing quote for the attribute value.
B. v-bind cannot be used on <img> tags.
C. The tag <img> cannot have a closing tag.
D. The attribute should be v-bind:href, not v-bind:src.

Solution

  1. Step 1: Check attribute syntax

    The attribute value for v-bind:src is missing the closing single quote after imageUrl.
  2. Step 2: Verify other options

    v-bind works on <img>, <img> can be self-closing or no closing tag, and src is correct attribute for images.
  3. Final Answer:

    Missing closing quote for the attribute value. -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Attribute quotes must be closed = B [OK]
Hint: Always close quotes around v-bind attribute values [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Leaving quotes open in attribute bindings
  • Thinking v-bind can't be on <img>
  • Confusing src and href attributes
5. You want to bind a dynamic class name and a dynamic href attribute to an <a> tag in Vue. Which is the correct way to do this using v-bind shorthand?
hard
A. <a :class=linkClass :href=linkUrl>Click</a>
B. <a v-bind:class="linkClass" href="linkUrl">Click</a>
C. <a class=":linkClass" :href=linkUrl>Click</a>
D. <a :class="linkClass" :href="linkUrl">Click</a>

Solution

  1. Step 1: Use correct v-bind shorthand syntax

    Shorthand for v-bind is a colon before the attribute name, and the value must be in quotes if it's a JavaScript expression.
  2. Step 2: Check each option

    <a :class="linkClass" :href="linkUrl">Click</a> correctly uses :class="linkClass" and :href="linkUrl". <a v-bind:class="linkClass" href="linkUrl">Click</a> misses binding on href. Options C and D have incorrect quoting or missing quotes.
  3. Final Answer:

    <a :class="linkClass" :href="linkUrl">Click</a> -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Use :attr="value" for binding multiple attributes = A [OK]
Hint: Use colon and quotes for each dynamic attribute [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Not quoting the bound value
  • Mixing static and dynamic attributes incorrectly
  • Using wrong attribute names
