💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using v-bind instead of v-model will not create two-way binding.

Using v-if or v-for here is incorrect as they control rendering or loops.

The v-model directive binds the input's value to the variable, allowing two-way data binding.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'checked' instead of 'value' sets the button as selected, not its value.

Using 'name' or 'id' does not set the radio button's value.

The value attribute sets the value that the radio button represents.

Fix the error in the code to correctly bind the radio button group to the variable 'choice'.

Vue

<input type="radio" value="A" v-model=[1]> A

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Achoice

B"choice"

C'choice'

D{choice}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Adding quotes makes Vue treat it as a string literal, not a variable.

Using curly braces inside directive bindings is incorrect.

In Vue templates, v-model should be bound without quotes around the variable name.

Fill both blanks to create a radio button group bound to 'selectedFruit' with value 'apple'.

Vue

<input type="radio" [1]=[2] v-model="selectedFruit"> Apple

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Avalue

B"apple"

C'apple'

Dchecked

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'checked' instead of 'value' sets selection, not the value.

Using double quotes inside double quotes without escaping causes syntax errors.

The value attribute sets the radio button's value, and it should be a string like 'apple' using single quotes.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a radio button group bound to 'answer' with value 'yes' and label 'Yes'.

Vue

<label><input type="radio" [1]=[2] v-model=[3]> Yes</label>

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Avalue

B"yes"

Canswer

D'yes'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using single quotes inside double quotes without escaping causes errors.

Putting quotes around the variable name in v-model breaks binding.

The value attribute sets the radio button's value to "yes" (double quotes inside attribute), and v-model binds to the variable answer.

Practice

1. What does v-model do when used with radio buttons in Vue?

easy

A. It binds the selected radio button's value to a single data property.

B. It creates multiple independent data properties for each radio button.

C. It disables all radio buttons except the first one.

D. It automatically submits the form when a radio button is clicked.

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand v-model binding

   The v-model directive in Vue binds form inputs to a data property, syncing the input's value with the data.

2. Step 2: Apply to radio buttons

   For radio buttons, v-model binds the selected button's value to a single data property, so only one value is stored.

3. Final Answer:

   It binds the selected radio button's value to a single data property. -> Option A

4. Quick Check:

   v-model syncs selected radio value = C [OK]

Hint: v-model links one data value to all radios in a group [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Thinking each radio has its own data property
• Assuming v-model disables radios
• Believing v-model auto-submits forms

2. Which of the following is the correct syntax to bind a radio button group with v-model to a data property named choice?

easy

A. <input type='radio' :model='choice' value='A'>

B. <input type='radio' v-bind='choice' value='A'>

C. <input type='radio' v-model='value' value='choice'>

D. <input type='radio' v-model='choice' value='A'>

Solution

1. Step 1: Identify correct directive usage

   The correct directive to bind input value to data is v-model, not v-bind or :model.

2. Step 2: Check attribute values

   The value attribute sets the radio's value, and v-model='choice' binds the selected value to the choice data property.

3. Final Answer:

   <input type='radio' v-model='choice' value='A'> -> Option D

4. Quick Check:

   Use v-model='choice' with value='A' = A [OK]

Hint: Use v-model='dataProp' and value='option' for radios [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Using v-bind instead of v-model
• Swapping value and v-model attributes
• Using incorrect directive like :model

3. Given this Vue template snippet:

<template>
  <input type='radio' id='red' v-model='color' value='red'>
  <label for='red'>Red</label>
  <input type='radio' id='blue' v-model='color' value='blue'>
  <label for='blue'>Blue</label>
  <p>Selected color: {{ color }}</p>
</template>

If the user clicks the radio button labeled "Blue", what will be displayed inside the paragraph?

medium

A. Selected color: undefined

B. Selected color: red

C. Selected color: blue

D. Selected color: true

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand v-model behavior on radio buttons

   When a radio button is selected, its value is assigned to the bound data property, here color.

2. Step 2: Apply user action

   User clicks the radio with value='blue', so color becomes 'blue'. The paragraph shows this value.

3. Final Answer:

   Selected color: blue -> Option C

4. Quick Check:

   Click blue radio sets color = 'blue' [OK]

Hint: Selected radio's value updates bound data shown in template [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Assuming initial value stays after click
• Confusing value attribute with label text
• Expecting boolean true instead of string value

4. Consider this Vue code snippet:

<input type='radio' v-model='selection' value='A'>
<input type='radio' v-model='selection' value='B'>
<input type='radio' v-model='selection' value='C'>

Why might none of the radio buttons appear selected even after clicking them?

medium

A. Radio buttons require a name attribute to work with v-model.

B. The data property selection is not initialized in the Vue component.

C. The v-model directive is misspelled.

D. The value attributes are missing from the radio buttons.

Solution

1. Step 1: Check data initialization

   Vue's v-model binds to a data property. If selection is undefined initially, no radio is selected by default.

2. Step 2: Understand radio selection behavior

   Clicking a radio sets selection to that value, but if the component does not react or update, it may be due to missing reactive data or errors elsewhere.

3. Final Answer:

   The data property selection is not initialized in the Vue component. -> Option B

4. Quick Check:

   Uninitialized data property causes no selection [OK]

Hint: Always initialize data properties used with v-model [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Thinking name attribute is required for v-model radios
• Ignoring data property initialization
• Assuming misspelled v-model without checking

5. You want to create a group of radio buttons bound to selectedFruit with options 'Apple', 'Banana', and 'Cherry'. You also want the label text to be clickable for accessibility. Which of the following Vue template snippets correctly implements this?

hard

A. <div>
<label>
<input type='radio' v-model='selectedFruit' value='Apple'> Apple
</label>
<label>
<input type='radio' v-model='selectedFruit' value='Banana'> Banana
</label>
<label>
<input type='radio' v-model='selectedFruit' value='Cherry'> Cherry
</label>
</div>

B. <div>
<input type='radio' v-model='selectedFruit' value='Apple'>
<label>Apple</label>
<input type='radio' v-model='selectedFruit' value='Banana'>
<label>Banana</label>
<input type='radio' v-model='selectedFruit' value='Cherry'>
<label>Cherry</label>
</div>

C. <div>
<input type='radio' v-model='selectedFruit' value='Apple'> Apple
<input type='radio' v-model='selectedFruit' value='Banana'> Banana
<input type='radio' v-model='selectedFruit' value='Cherry'> Cherry
</div>

D. <div>
<input type='radio' id='apple' v-model='selectedFruit' value='Apple'> Apple
<input type='radio' id='banana' v-model='selectedFruit' value='Banana'> Banana
<input type='radio' id='cherry' v-model='selectedFruit' value='Cherry'> Cherry
</div>

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand label accessibility

   Wrapping the input inside a label makes the label text clickable and improves accessibility without needing for and id.

2. Step 2: Check the options

   <div>
     <label>
       <input type='radio' v-model='selectedFruit' value='Apple'> Apple
     </label>
     <label>
       <input type='radio' v-model='selectedFruit' value='Banana'> Banana
     </label>
     <label>
       <input type='radio' v-model='selectedFruit' value='Cherry'> Cherry
     </label>
   </div>

   wraps each radio input inside a label with the text, which is the recommended accessible pattern.

3. Final Answer:

   The snippet wrapping inputs inside <label> tags for clickable labels. -> Option A

4. Quick Check:

   Wrap input in label for clickable text = B [OK]

Hint: Wrap input inside label for easy clickable text [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Using labels without for/id pairs
• Not wrapping input in label causing unclickable text
• Forgetting to bind v-model on each radio
