Vuejs set a variable maximum for a number input

Question

I have the following vue js script:

 <template>
    <div>
        <div v-if='cart.length > 0'>
            <h1>Your Cart</h1>
        <template>
            <fieldset v-for='product in cart'>
                <image :src='product.image'
                <h4>{{product.name}}</h4>
                <input type='number' :max='quantCheck'/>
                <h5>{{product.price}}</h5>
            </fieldset>
        </template>
        </div>
        <div v-else><h1>Your Cart Is Empty</h1></div>
        <br />
        <h5>Subtotal: </h5>
        <h5>Shipping: Free for a limited time!</h5>
        <h2>Total: </h2>
    </div>
    </template>
    <script>
    const apiURL = 'http://localhost:3000';
    import axios from 'axios';
    export default {
        data() {
            return {
                cart: [
                        {
                    id:"56461",
                    name:"lilly",
                    quantity: 2,
                    price: 30.10
                    }, {
                    id:"1253",
                    name:"wild",
                    quantity: 1,
                    price: 31.10
                    }
                    ]
                }
            },
        methods: {
                let quantCheck = this.cart.product.quantity

        }
        }
    </script>

I haven't been able to find a good way to make something like this work.

The quantity is variable, and I guess maybe I could make a function that checks the number after each input and pops an error when it goes above but that's not quite the goal.

Anyway sorry if this is a stupid question but thanks for your help in advance!

Answer 1

You can use HTML Form validation for input (type="number"):

<input type='number' :max='product.quantity'/>

If the input is greater than max value then it will show error on Submit the form

Answer 2

I believe that what you want to do is limit the number of items in <input type='number' :max='quantCheck'/> based on the quantity property of the item in your cart . If this is the case, there's a few things that can be improved in your component.

First, you are binding :max="quantityCheck" to your input. looking at your component, you have defined quantityCheck in the methods option.

methods: {
    let quantCheck = this.cart.product.quantity
}

This is incorrect, there's no method declaration. You'll need to limit the number of characters using the quantity property directly:

 new Vue({ el: '#app', template: ` <div> <fieldset v-for='product in cart'> <h4>{{product.name}}</h4> <input type='number' :max="product.quantity"/> <h5>{{product.price}}</h5> </fieldset> </div>`, data: () => ({ cart: [ { id: "56461", name: "lilly", quantity: 2, price: 30.10 }, { id: "1253", name: "wild", quantity: 1, price: 31.10 } ] }) }); 

 <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.17/vue.js"></script> <div id="app"></div> 

The above works, to test it, enter a value higher than the quantity and the input should highlight on blur

If you want better validation, I would suggest using Vee-Validate for a simple way to validate your inputs.

Using VeeValidate

 Vue.use(VeeValidate); new Vue({ el: '#app', template: ` <div> <fieldset v-for='product in cart'> <h4>{{product.name}}</h4> <input v-validate="'max_value:'+product.quantity" :name="product.name" type="number"> <span v-if="errors.first(product.name)">Quantity cannot be more than {{product.quantity}}</span> <h5>{{product.price}}</h5> </fieldset> </div>`, data: () => ({ cart: [{ id: "56461", name: "lilly", quantity: 2, price: 30.10 }, { id: "1253", name: "wild", quantity: 1, price: 31.10 } ] }) });
