vue-attr v1.0.1

vue-attr

Insert attributes into rendered HTML from Vue

Introduction

While using Vue with custom elements, I noticed that the slot attribute was not working correctly. Upon further inspection, it appeared that Vue was absorving the slot attribute regardless of whether a parent node had a <slot> tag with the same name of the slot attribute. I created this Vue directive as a quick, temporary fix until the issue can be corrected within Vue.

Installation

npm

You can install vue-attr with npm:

npm install vue-attr

You can then use import it:

var VueAttr = require('vue-attr')
Vue.use(VueAttr);

Direct include

If you have Vue included globally, you can include vue-attr with a <script> tag and it will install itself (you can do this by downloading the files directly or by using bower).

Usage

vue-attr includes the v-attr directive, which can be attached to an attribute:

<div v-attr:slot="'example'">
    <!-- Rendered HTML will be <div slot="example"></div> -->
</div>

One note to consider is that the value of the directive must be a JavaScript literal, hence the single quotes in the above example. vue-attr will work by just placing in the value of the attribute, but Vue will spout errors warning you that your value is not a property of the component. The side effect of this is that if you have a property with the same name, the property value will be bound to the attribute's value (similar, in some ways, to v-bind). It is best practice to use JavaScript literals instead.
