Install

npm i -S vue-property-decorator

Usage

There are 7 decorators and 1 function (Mixin):

• @Emit
• @Inject
• @Model
• @Prop
• @Provide
• @Watch
• @Component (provided by vue-class-component)
• Mixins (the helper function named mixins provided by vue-class-component)

@Prop(options: (PropOptions | Constructor[] | Constructor) = {}) decorator

import { Vue, Component, Prop } from 'vue-property-decorator'

@Component
export default class YourComponent extends Vue {
  @Prop(Number) propA!: number
  @Prop({ default: 'default value' }) propB!: string
  @Prop([String, Boolean]) propC!: string | boolean
}

is equivalent to

export default {
  props: {
    propA: {
      type: Number
    },
    propB: {
      default: 'default value'
    },
    propC: {
      type: [String, Boolean]
    },
  }
}

Note that:

• reflect-metadata isn't used in this library and setting emitDecoratorMetadata to true means nothing.
• Each prop's default value need to be defined as same as the example code shown in above.

@Model(event?: string, options: (PropOptions | Constructor[] | Constructor) = {}) decorator

import { Vue, Component, Model } from 'vue-property-decorator'

@Component
export default class YourComponent extends Vue {
  @Model('change', { type: Boolean }) checked!: boolean
}

is equivalent to

export default {
  model: {
    prop: 'checked',
    event: 'change'
  },
  props: {
    checked: {
      type: Boolean
    },
  },
}

@Watch(path: string, options: WatchOptions = {}) decorator

import { Vue, Component, Watch } from 'vue-property-decorator'

@Component
export default class YourComponent extends Vue {
  @Watch('child')
  onChildChanged(val: string, oldVal: string) { }

  @Watch('person', { immediate: true, deep: true })
  onPersonChanged1(val: Person, oldVal: Person) { }

  @Watch('person')
  onChildChanged2(val: Person, oldVal: Person) { }
}

is equivalent to

export default {
  watch: {
    'child': [
      {
        handler: 'onChildChanged',
        immediate: false,
        deep: false
      }
    ],
    'person': [
      {
        handler: 'onPersonChanged1',
        immediate: true,
        deep: true
      },
      {
        handler: 'onPersonChanged2',
        immediate: false,
        deep: false
      }
    ]
  },
  methods: {
    onChildChanged(val, oldVal) { },
    onPersonChanged1(val, oldVal) { }
    onPersonChanged2(val, oldVal) { }
  }
}

@Emit(event?: string) decorator

The functions decorated by @Emit $emit their return value followed by their original arguments. If the return value is a promise, it is resolved before being emitted.

If the name of the event is not supplied via the event argument, the function name is used instead. In that case, the camelCase name will be converted to kebab-case.

import { Vue, Component, Emit } from 'vue-property-decorator'

@Component
export default class YourComponent extends Vue {
  count = 0

  @Emit()
  addToCount(n: number) {
    this.count += n
  }

  @Emit('reset')
  resetCount() {
    this.count = 0
  }

  @Emit()
  returnValue() {
    return 10
  }

  @Emit()
  promise() {
    return new Promise(resolve => {
      setTimeout(() => {
        resolve(20)
      }, 0)
    })
  }
}

is equivalent to

export default {
  data() {
    return {
      count: 0
    }
  },
  methods: {
    addToCount(n) {
      this.count += n
      this.$emit('add-to-count', n)
    },
    resetCount() {
      this.count = 0
      this.$emit('reset')
    },
    returnValue() {
      this.$emit('return-value', 10)
    },
    promise() {
      const promise = new Promise(resolve => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          resolve(20)
        }, 0)
      })

      promise.then(value => {
        this.$emit('promise', value)
      })
    }
  }
}

@Provide(key?: string | symbol) / @Inject(options?: { from?: InjectKey, default?: any } | InjectKey) decorator

import { Component, Inject, Provide, Vue } from 'vue-property-decorator'

const symbol = Symbol('baz')

@Component
export class MyComponent extends Vue {
  @Inject() foo!: string
  @Inject('bar') bar!: string
  @Inject({ from: 'optional', default: 'default' }) optional!: string
  @Inject(symbol) baz!: string


  @Provide() foo = 'foo'
  @Provide('bar') baz = 'bar'
}

is equivalent to

const symbol = Symbol('baz')

export const MyComponent = Vue.extend({

  inject: {
    foo: 'foo',
    bar: 'bar',
    'optional': { from: 'optional', default: 'default' },
    [symbol]: symbol
  },
  data () {
    return {
      foo: 'foo',
      baz: 'bar'
    }
  },
  provide () {
    return {
      foo: this.foo,
      bar: this.baz
    }
  }
})
