Course Description

This Vue 3 component options guide focuses on the Options API — a core feature of Vue 3 that offers a straightforward, organized way to define the logic of your components. Unlike the Composition API, which emphasizes code reuse through functions, the Options API uses object-based configuration to keep components easy to read and maintain.

You’ll begin by learning how to set up a Vue 3 project and create your first component. Then, you’ll dive into core topics like data binding, props, event handling, and lifecycle hooks. With clear examples and practical use cases, this course ensures that you build a solid foundation in writing clean and maintainable Vue components.

Whether you’re developing single-page applications, dashboards, or UI libraries, mastering the Options API will help you create fast and efficient Vue apps with confidence.
