Text Interpolation

You can use "mustaches" (double curly braces) inside the template for text interpolation. For example:

<template>
  <Window title="Example" width="400" height="100" margined>
    <Box>
      <Text>Hello, {{ name }}</Text>
    </Box>
  </Window>
</template>
​
<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      name: 'John'
    };
  }
}
</script>

This will display "Hello, John" in the Text widget. Thanks to reactivity built into Vue.js, the data is bound to the text of the widget, so when the value of the name property is changed, the text is automatically updated.

You can use simple JavaScript expressions inside the mustaches, for example {{ number + 1 }}.

The interpolation mechanism can also be used in other widgets which have static labels, for example Button and Checkbox.

Binding Attributes

You can use the v-bind directive to bind dynamic values to attributes, for example:

<template>
  <Window v-bind:title="title" width="400" height="100" margined>
    <Box>
      <Text>Welcome to your Vuido application!</Text>
    </Box>
  </Window>
</template>
​
<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      title: 'Hello!'
    };
  }
}
</script>

The v-bind directive binds the data property, or the result of an expression, to the attribute specified after the colon. In this example, the title of the window will be "Hello!". When the value of the title property is changed, the title of the window is automatically updated.

The v-bind directive can be applied to many different attributes. In case of boolean attributes, the null, undefined and false values are interpreted as false and other values are interpreted as true.

You can use simple JavaScript expressions in bound attributes, for example:

<Window v-bind:title="'Hello, ' + name">...</Window>

You can also use the shorthand syntax by omitting v-bind and prefixing the attribute name with a colon, for example:

<Window :title="title">...</Window>
