Watch Checkbox Clicks in Vue.js
To watch for checkbox clicks in Vue.js, we can listen to the change event.
For instance, we can write:
<template>
<div id="app">
<input type="checkbox" v-model="selected" @change="check($event)" />
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: "App",
data() {
return {
selected: true,
};
},
methods: {
check(e) {
console.log(e.target.checked, this.selected);
},
},
};
</script>
to add the @change directive to the checkbox input to listen to the change event.
Then we can get the checked value of the checkbox with e.target.checked or the this.selected reactive property.
We can use this.selected since we bind the checked value of the checkbox to the this.selected reactive property with the v-model directive.
Conclusion
