Separating start and end tags for conditional rendering












1















<template>
<div>
<template v-if="isFieldsetElement">
<fieldset>
<legend>Label Here</legend>
</template>
<template v-else>
<label>Label Here</label>
</template>

<span> Description </span>
<img src="image.png" />
<div>more stuff here </div>

<template v-if="isFieldsetElement">
</fieldset>
</template>
</div>
</template>


I'm unable to do this tag separation. Basically I have a separate header and footer (for the lack of better word) but I can't do this in Vue like its possible in server-side generated markup.



Is there a workaround or a more elegant solution for this issue?

  • No, Vue works with a complete document model so you cannot put together elements by parts

  • @Phil yea but there must be some workaround for when you need to wrap tags around components? Its a pretty common scenario right?

Using Dynamic Components:



<component :is="isFieldsetElement ? 'fieldset' : 'div'">
<component :is="isFieldsetElement ? 'legend' : 'label'">
<span> Description </span>
<img src="image.png" />
<div>more stuff here </div>
</component>
</component>

I'd go with a custom wrapping component. Something like...



<template>
<div> <!-- single root element required -->
<fieldset v-if="wrap">
<legend>{{ label }}</legend>
<slot></slot>
</fieldset>
<template v-else>
<label>{{ label }}</label>
<slot></slot>
</template>
</div>
</tenmplate>

<script>
export default {
name: 'FieldWrapper',
props: {
wrap: Boolean,
label: String
}
}
</script>


and use it like



<FieldWrapper :wrap="isFieldsetElement" label="Label Here">
<span> Description </span>
<img src="image.png" />
<div>more stuff here </div>
</FieldWrapper>


There's a little repetition of the <slot> within the component but for your use-case, I'd say that's acceptable.

    The output for PHP is a string, so you can set it like '' + 'hello' + '', but for JS framework, them used HTMLElement, so you can't do same thing here. I think you need to get used to using the component, also PHP. Example:



    <?php
    class View() {
    public $header; public $footer; public $content;
    }
    $view = new View(); $view->header = 'Hello';...
    ?>
    <html>
    <body>
    <header>
    <?php echo $view->header?>
    </header>
    <div id="root">
    <?php echo $view->content?>
    </div>
    <footer>
    <?php echo $view->footer?>
    </footer>
    </body>
    </html>


    For above source, header, footer, content both mean one component, and the content usually has many child component.



    So, tag separation never a good solution, include PHP template.



    <template>
    <div>
    <template v-if="isFieldsetElement">
    <fieldset>
    <legend>Label Here</legend>
    <span> Description </span>
    <img src="image.png" />
    <div>more stuff here </div>
    </fieldset>
    </template>
    <template v-else>
    <label>Label Here</label>
    <span> Description </span>
    <img src="image.png" />
    <div>more stuff here </div>
    </template>
    </div>
    </template>


    or the other way same as your did in php:



    var app = new Vue({data:{html:'<div>Hello</div>'}});
    <template v-html="html"></template>

              The output for PHP is a string, so you can set it like '' + 'hello' + '', but for JS framework, them used HTMLElement, so you can't do same thing here. I think you need to get used to using the component, also PHP. Example:



              <?php
              class View() {
              public $header; public $footer; public $content;
              }
              $view = new View(); $view->header = 'Hello';...
              ?>
              <html>
              <body>
              <header>
              <?php echo $view->header?>
              </header>
              <div id="root">
              <?php echo $view->content?>
              </div>
              <footer>
              <?php echo $view->footer?>
              </footer>
              </body>

                The output for PHP is a string, so you can set it like '' + 'hello' + '', but for JS framework, them used HTMLElement, so you can't do same thing here. I think you need to get used to using the component, also PHP. Example:



                <?php
                class View() {
                public $header; public $footer; public $content;
                }
                $view = new View(); $view->header = 'Hello';...
                ?>
                <html>
                <body>
                <header>
                <?php echo $view->header?>
                </header>
                <div id="root">
                <?php echo $view->content?>
                </div>
                <footer>
                <?php echo $view->footer?>
                </footer>
                </body>
                </html>


                For above source, header, footer, content both mean one component, and the content usually has many child component.



                So, tag separation never a good solution, include PHP template.



                <template>
                <div>
                <template v-if="isFieldsetElement">
                <fieldset>
                <legend>Label Here</legend>
                <span> Description </span>
                <img src="image.png" />
                <div>more stuff here </div>
                </fieldset>
                </template>
                <template v-else>
                <label>Label Here</label>
                <span> Description </span>
                <img src="image.png" />
                <div>more stuff here </div>
                </template>
                </div>
                </template>


                or the other way same as your did in php:



                var app = new Vue({data:{html:'<div>Hello</div>'}});
                <template v-html="html"></template>
