I am a beginner who is currently learning Vue and Nuxt JS and developing a simple web application with Nuxt JS. Currently, I am trying to make a Vue Select option where I pass an array and I have the options be the elements in the array. This is my current index.vue (TextBox and DropDown are components I have defined):
<template>
<body>
<div id = "app">
<select v-model="selected">
<option :v-for="country in countries">{{ country.countryName }}</option>
</select>
<br/>
<TextBox label = "Name of new country:"/>
<TextBox label = "Code of new country:"/>
<button>Submit</button>
<br/>
<br/>
<TextBox label = "Name of new state/province:"/>
<TextBox label = "Code of new state/province:"/>
<DropDown label = "Countries of this state/province"/>
</div>
</body>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: 'IndexPage',
data() {
return {
selected: "",
countries: [{"countryName":"Canada"}, {"countryName":"US"}, {"countryName":"UK"}, {"countryName":"France"}]
};
},
}
</script>
When I run this code, it compiles successfully, but then the console gives me the following warning:
ERROR [Vue warn]: Property or method "country" is not defined on the instance but referenced during render. Make sure that this property is reactive, either in the data option, or for class-based components, by initializing the property. See: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/reactivity.html#Declaring-Reactive-Properties.
found in
---> <IndexPage> at pages/index.vue
<Nuxt>
<.nuxt/layouts/default.vue> at .nuxt/layouts/default.vue
<Root>
And the localhost view displays:
TypeError
Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'countryName')
I have tried changing things like moving the array under created() or mounted() instead of data() and making data a list of variables instead of a function that returns variables, but no matter what I try, the Vue-select is still unable to access the array of countries, so I'm not sure what is happening.
v-for doesn't take a semicolon before the directive. Remove that and you'll get past that error.
<select v-model="selected">
<option v-for="country in countries">{{ country.countryName }}</option>
</select>
You should also add a unique :key to any element in a v-for iteration. And for being-explicit's sake, you can add a value prop to indicate which field will be used when selected.
<select v-model="selected">
<option v-for="country in countries" :key="country.countryName" :value="country.countryName">
{{ country.countryName }}
</option>
</select>
