I'm learning Vue with an online course and the instructor gave me an exercise to make an input text with a default value. I completed it using v-model but, the instructor chose v-bind:value and I don't understand why.
Can someone give me a simple explanation about the difference between these two and when it's better use each one?
From here - Remember:
<input v-model="something">
is essentially the same as:
<input
v-bind:value="something"
v-on:input="something = $event.target.value"
>
or (shorthand syntax):
<input
:value="something"
@input="something = $event.target.value"
>
So v-model is a two-way binding for form inputs. It combines v-bind, which brings a js value into the markup and v-on:input to update the js value. The js value must be present in your data, or in an inject.
Use v-model when you can. Use v-bind/v-on when you must :-) I hope your answer was accepted.
v-model works with all the basic HTML input types (text, textarea, number, radio, checkbox, select). You can use v-model with input type=date if your model stores dates as ISO strings (yyyy-mm-dd). If you want to use date objects in your model (a good idea as soon as you're going to manipulate or format them), do this.
v-model has some extra smarts that it's good to be aware of. If you're using an IME ( lots of mobile keyboards, or Chinese/Japanese/Korean ), v-model will not update until a word is complete (a space is entered or the user leaves the field). v-input will fire much more frequently.
v-model also has modifiers .lazy, .trim, .number, covered in the doc.
In simple words
v-model is for two way bindings means: if you change input value, the bound data will be changed and vice versa.
but v-bind:value is called one way binding that means: you can change input value by changing bound data but you can't change bound data by changing input value through the element.
check out this simple example: https://jsfiddle.net/gs0kphvc/
v-model
it is two way data binding, it is used to bind html input element when you change input value then bounded data will be change.
v-model is used only for HTML input elements
ex: <input type="text" v-model="name" >
v-bind
it is one way data binding,means you can only bind data to input element but can't change bounded data changing input element.
v-bind is used to bind html attribute
ex:
<input type="text" v-bind:class="abc" v-bind:value="">
<a v-bind:href="home/abc" > click me </a>
