Place things in a specific iteration element in Vue












1















Let's say I create 20 divs using a v-for.
Then let's say I have a lot of data in an array, and each unordered element of this array belongs in one of the 20 divs (they have an index or something that tells where they belong, but not necessarily all of them).



The simple way to do this would be to iterate over the array on each one of the v-for divs and check if the indexes match and if they do, render them. Something with a v-if element_index == for_index. But this is really inefficient because if there's a lot of data and the v-for has a lot of iterations, this grows a lot for a simple webpage.



Is there a way to do the opposite of this? So first generate the 20 divs, then run through the data array and one by one insert them where they belong?

I would use reduce to create a "bucket" object keyed by the grouping indexes.




The reduce() method executes a reducer function (that you provide) on each member of the array resulting in a single output value.




Example






new Vue({
el: '#app',
data() {
return {
dataArray:
}
},
computed: {
bucket () {
return this.dataArray.reduce((obj, item) => {
if (!obj.hasOwnProperty(item.index)) {
Object.assign(obj, {
[item.index]: [item]
})
} else {
obj[item.index].push(item)
}
return obj
}, {})
}
},
created() {
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
this.addData()
}
},
methods: {
addData() {
this.dataArray.push({
index: Math.ceil(Math.random() * 3),
name: Math.random().toString(36).substring(7)
})
},
removeData() {
this.dataArray = this.dataArray.slice(1)
}
}
})

<div id="app">
<button @click="addData(true)">Add Data</button>
<button @click="removeData">Remove Data</button>
<div v-for="key in Object.keys(bucket)" :key="key">
<h3 style="font-family: monospace">Bucket {{ key }} ({{ bucket[key].length }} items)</h3>
<p v-for="(item, index) in bucket[key]" :key="item.name" style="font-family: monospace; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(96,125,139,.1)">{{ index + 1 }}. {{ item.name }}</p>
</div>
