Vue.js - Display a list of items with v-for
Other versions available:
- Vue: Vue 3
- React: React
- Angular: Angular
- ASP.NET Core: Blazor WebAssembly
This is a quick example to show how to display a list of items in Vue with the v-for directive.
The example simply renders an array of users as rows in a table with <tr v-for="user in users" :key="user.id">.
Here it is in action: (See on CodeSandbox at https://codesandbox.io/s/vuejs-display-a-list-of-items-with-v-for-plys5)
Example Vue component that renders the users array
The app component template contains some standard html for a heading and table, and inside the table the tr tag uses the v-for Vue directive to loop over the users array and render a table row for each user that includes the user name, email and role.
The app component contains the hardcoded users array that is rendered with the v-for directive in template. The users array is declared as a data property of the Vue component so the template can see it.
<template>
<div class="container">
<h3 class="p-3 text-center">Vue.js - Display a list of items with v-for</h3>
<table class="table table-striped table-bordered">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Email</th>
<th>Role</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr v-for="user in users" :key="user.id">
<td>{{user.firstName}} {{user.lastName}}</td>
<td>{{user.email}}</td>
<td>{{user.role}}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
users: [
{ firstName: 'Frank', lastName: 'Murphy', email: '[email protected]', role: 'User' },
{ firstName: 'Vic', lastName: 'Reynolds', email: '[email protected]', role: 'Admin' },
{ firstName: 'Gina', lastName: 'Jabowski', email: '[email protected]', role: 'Admin' },
{ firstName: 'Jessi', lastName: 'Glaser', email: '[email protected]', role: 'User' },
{ firstName: 'Jay', lastName: 'Bilzerian', email: '[email protected]', role: 'User' }
]
};
}
};
</script>
Render an array of objects with index instead of id
If you have an array of objects that don't have a unique property (e.g. id) that you can use for the :key attribute, it's possible to use the item index which is provided by the v-for directive.
This is how the above v-for would look using the item index instead of the id as the key prop:
<tr v-for="(user, index) in users" :key="index">
...
</tr>
