How Vue differs from React and Angular - Try It Yourself

How Vue differs from React and Angular

📖 Scenario: You are learning about three popular tools to build websites: Vue, React, and Angular. Each helps you make interactive web pages but works in different ways.

🎯 Goal: You will create a simple Vue component that shows a list of features. Then you will add a setting to choose which framework to compare. Next, you will write code to show differences based on the chosen framework. Finally, you will complete the component so it displays the correct information clearly.

📋 What You'll Learn

Create a Vue component using the Composition API with <script setup>

Use a reactive variable to hold the selected framework name

Use a list of features stored in a reactive object

Use a v-if or @switch control flow to show differences

Add accessible labels and semantic HTML for clarity

💡 Why This Matters

🌍 Real World

Comparing frameworks helps developers choose the right tool for their projects by understanding differences clearly.

💼 Career

Knowing how Vue differs from React and Angular is useful for frontend developers working in teams or deciding on technology stacks.

1

DATA SETUP: Create a reactive object with Vue features

Create a Vue component with <script setup> and define a reactive object called features with these exact entries: reactive({ templateSyntax: 'Simple and flexible', learningCurve: 'Gentle', ecosystem: 'Growing but smaller' }).

Vue

// Your code here

Need a hint?

Use reactive from Vue to create an object with the exact keys and values.

2

CONFIGURATION: Add a reactive variable for selected framework

Add a reactive variable called selectedFramework using ref and set its initial value to 'React'.

Vue

import { reactive, ref } from 'vue'

const features = reactive({
  templateSyntax: 'Simple and flexible',
  learningCurve: 'Gentle',
  ecosystem: 'Growing but smaller'
})

// Your code here

Need a hint?

Use ref to create a reactive string variable with the exact name and value.

3

CORE LOGIC: Show differences based on selected framework

Inside the template, use a <template> block and write a <div> that uses v-if or @switch on selectedFramework to display these exact texts for each framework: For 'React', show 'Uses JSX for templating.'; for 'Angular', show 'Full framework with TypeScript.'; for 'Vue', show 'Progressive framework with templates.'.

Vue

import { reactive, ref } from 'vue'

const features = reactive({
  templateSyntax: 'Simple and flexible',
  learningCurve: 'Gentle',
  ecosystem: 'Growing but smaller'
})

const selectedFramework = ref('React')



  
  

Need a hint?

Use Vue's v-if and v-else-if directives inside the template to show the exact text for each framework.

4

COMPLETION: Add accessible label and semantic structure

Wrap the framework differences inside a <section> with an aria-label attribute set to 'Framework differences'. Also, add a <h2> heading with the text 'Compare Vue, React, and Angular' above the differences.

Vue

import { reactive, ref } from 'vue'

const features = reactive({
  templateSyntax: 'Simple and flexible',
  learningCurve: 'Gentle',
  ecosystem: 'Growing but smaller'
})

const selectedFramework = ref('React')



  
  

Need a hint?

Use semantic HTML tags and add aria-label for accessibility.
