Complete the code to conditionally show the message only if isVisible is true.

Vue

<template>
  <div>
    <p v-if="[1]">Hello, Vue!</p>
  </div>

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a variable name that is not defined in the component.

Forgetting to use the correct variable controlling visibility.

The v-if directive in Vue shows the element only when the condition is true. Here, isVisible controls the display.

Complete the code to toggle the visibility state when the button is clicked.

Vue

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'
const isVisible = ref(false)

function toggle() {
  isVisible.value = [1]
}
</script>

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Assigning a fixed value like true or false instead of toggling.

Using isVisible without .value in the ref.

Using !isVisible.value flips the boolean value, toggling visibility on each click.

Fix the error in the template to correctly bind the click event to the toggle function.

Vue

<template>
  <button [1]="toggle">Toggle Message</button>
  <p v-if="isVisible">Now you see me!</p>
</template>

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

A@click

Bv-on:click.prevent

Cv-bind:click

Dclick

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using v-bind:click which is incorrect for events.

Omitting the event binding syntax.

In Vue, @click is shorthand for v-on:click and correctly binds the click event.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a computed property that returns a message based on isVisible.

Vue

<script setup>
import { computed, ref } from 'vue'
const isVisible = ref(true)
const message = computed(() => [1] ? 'Visible' : [2])
</script>

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

AisVisible.value

B'Hidden'

CisVisible

D'Invisible'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using isVisible without .value.

Using the wrong string for the false case.

The computed property checks isVisible.value and returns 'Visible' or 'Hidden' accordingly.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a reactive toggle button with conditional rendering and a dynamic message.

Vue

<template>
  <button [1]="[2]">Toggle</button>
  <p v-if="[3]">The message is visible.</p>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'
const visible = ref(false)
function toggle() {
  visible.value = !visible.value
}
</script>

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

A@click

Btoggle

Cvisible

DisVisible

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong event binding syntax.

Referencing a variable not defined in the script.

The button uses @click to call toggle. The paragraph shows only if visible is true.

Practice

1. Why is conditional rendering important in Vue applications?

easy

A. It speeds up the Vue app by skipping all rendering.

B. It automatically styles components without CSS.

C. It controls what content is shown based on conditions, improving user experience.

D. It replaces the need for JavaScript event handlers.

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand conditional rendering purpose

   Conditional rendering shows or hides parts of the page based on data or user actions.

2. Step 2: Connect to user experience

   Showing relevant content only makes the app easier and friendlier to use.

3. Final Answer:

   It controls what content is shown based on conditions, improving user experience. -> Option C

4. Quick Check:

   Conditional rendering = control content display [OK]

Hint: Conditional rendering controls visible content based on conditions [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Thinking it styles components automatically
• Believing it skips all rendering to speed app
• Confusing it with event handling

2. Which of the following is the correct syntax for conditional rendering in Vue to show a paragraph only if isVisible is true?

easy

A. Visible paragraph

B. Visible paragraph

C. Visible paragraph

D. Visible paragraph

Solution

1. Step 1: Identify correct directive for conditional rendering

   Vue uses v-if to conditionally render elements based on a boolean.

2. Step 2: Check syntax correctness

   v-if="isVisible" correctly binds the condition to show the paragraph only if true.

3. Final Answer:

   <p v-if="isVisible">Visible paragraph</p> -> Option A

4. Quick Check:

   Use v-if for conditional rendering [OK]

Hint: Use v-if="condition" to show/hide elements [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Using v-for instead of v-if for conditions
• Confusing v-show with v-if (v-show toggles visibility but renders always)
• Using v-bind incorrectly for conditional rendering

3. Given this Vue template snippet:

<template>
  <div>
    <p v-if="showMessage">Hello User!</p>
    <p v-else>Please log in.</p>
  </div>
</template>

What will be displayed if showMessage is false?

medium

A. Please log in.

B. Hello User!

C. Nothing will be displayed.

D. Both paragraphs will be displayed.

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand v-if and v-else behavior

   If showMessage is false, the v-if block is skipped and v-else block runs.

2. Step 2: Determine displayed content

   The v-else paragraph with text "Please log in." will be shown.

3. Final Answer:

   Please log in. -> Option A

4. Quick Check:

   v-if false shows v-else block [OK]

Hint: v-else shows content when v-if condition is false [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Thinking both paragraphs show at once
• Assuming nothing shows if v-if is false
• Confusing v-else with v-show

4. Consider this Vue template:

<template>
  <div>
    <p v-if="isActive">Active</p>
    <p v-else-if="isPending">Pending</p>
    <p v-else>Inactive</p>
  </div>
</template>

What is wrong if none of the paragraphs show even when isActive and isPending are both false?

medium

A. The variables isActive and isPending must be true to render anything.

B. Nothing is wrong; the last v-else should show 'Inactive'.

C. You cannot use v-else-if after v-if.

D. The v-else is missing a condition and causes error.

Solution

1. Step 1: Review v-if, v-else-if, and v-else logic

   Vue renders the first true condition block; if none are true, v-else runs.

2. Step 2: Check variables false case

   Both isActive and isPending false means v-else block should show 'Inactive'.

3. Final Answer:

   Nothing is wrong; the last v-else should show 'Inactive'. -> Option B

4. Quick Check:

   v-else runs if all previous conditions false [OK]

Hint: v-else shows when all prior conditions are false [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Thinking v-else needs a condition
• Believing v-else-if is invalid after v-if
• Assuming no output if all conditions false

5. You want to display a list of users but only show those who are active. Which Vue template snippet correctly uses conditional rendering inside a v-for loop to achieve this?

hard

A. <ul>
<li v-for="user in users">{{ user.name }}</li>
</ul>

B. <ul>
<li v-for="user in users">
<span v-if="user.active">{{ user.name }}</span>
</li>
</ul>

C. <ul>
<li v-if="users.active" v-for="user in users">{{ user.name }}</li>
</ul>

D. <ul>
<li v-for="user in users" v-if="user.active">{{ user.name }}</li>
</ul>

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand filtering with v-if inside v-for

   Using v-if on the same element as v-for filters which items render.

2. Step 2: Check each option's logic

   <ul>
     <li v-for="user in users" v-if="user.active">{{ user.name }}</li>
   </ul>

   applies v-if="user.active" on the <li> with v-for, showing only active users.

3. Final Answer:

   <ul> <li v-for="user in users" v-if="user.active">{{ user.name }}</li> </ul> -> Option D

4. Quick Check:

   v-if on v-for element filters rendered items [OK]

Hint: Put v-if on same element as v-for to filter list items [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Placing v-if inside child elements causing empty list items
• Using "users.active" instead of "user.active" (always false)
• Not filtering at all, showing all users
