Dynamically add rows to form using Vue.JS

Question

I'm trying to make a dynamic form using Vue. User clicks the add button and another row appears for them to add data. The problem is, i initially set only 1 row at first but , when i put the v-for on the div, 3 extra rows started appearing. I'm confused as to why that happened? Plus, nothing happen when i click the add button. Thanks.

Answer 1

Your data should be an array that contains objects as items. In your example, v-for directive iterate properties in one object.

data(){
      return{   
          users: [{
              username:'',
              password:'',
              email:'',
              phone:''
          }]
      }
    },

Or use vue-autoextra, and avoid having to add a button add something to a collection:

 Vue.config.devtools = false Vue.config.productionTip = false const app = new Vue({ el: '#app', data () { return { users: [ { name: 'Alice', password: 'xyz' }, ] } }, components: { Autoextra } })

 @import "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bulma/0.7.5/css/bulma.css"; .last { opacity: .5; }

 <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.6.10/vue.js"></script> <script src="https://unpkg.com/vue-autoextra@0.2.0/dist/vue-autoextra.min.js"></script> <div class="container" id="app"> <div class="columns"> <div class="column"> <autoextra :collection="users" v-slot="{item,last,index}"> <div class="columns is-mobile" :class="{last: last}"> <div class="field column"> <div class="control"> <label class="label">{{last ? 'New ' : ''}}User {{!last ? index + 1 : ''}}</label> <input class="input" type="text" v-model="item.name"/> </div> </div> <div class="field column"> <label class="label">Password</label> <div class="control"> <input class="input" type="password" v-model="item.password"/> </div> </div> </div> </autoextra> </div> <div class="column"> <pre>{{users}}</pre> </div> </div> </div>

Answer 3

<button class="btn btn-secondary float-right" title="Click to add row">
<span class="fa fa-plus-square" @click="addMoreData(index)" v-show="index == users.length-1"></span> &nbsp;Add More Data
</button>

Why did you put @click="addMoreData(index)" inside <span> element ? It doesn't make any sense ... and it certainly won't work! Are index and users variables accessible here ? They're not!
