The Problem
In typical Vue applications, managing form state often involves:
- Setting up individual watchers for each form field
- Implementing debouncing to prevent excessive API calls
- Handling programmatic updates without triggering watchers
- Adding new form fields and their corresponding watchers
This leads to boilerplate code that looks something like this:
const form = ref({
username: '',
email: '',
age: 0
})
watch(() => form.value.username, debounce((value) => {
updateServer('username', value)
}, 500))
watch(() => form.value.email, debounce((value) => {
updateServer('email', value)
}, 500))
watch(() => form.value.age, debounce((value) => {
updateServer('age', value)
}, 500))
Enter vue-form-watchers
vue-form-watchers solves these problems by providing a simple, declarative way to handle form state changes. Here’s how to get started:
npm install vue-form-watchers
Basic Usage
Here’s an example of how to use vue-form-watchers in your Vue application:
import { ref } from 'vue'
import { createFormWatchers } from 'vue-form-watchers'
const form = ref({
username: '',
email: '',
age: 0
})
