I would like to show a div when hovering over an element in vue.js. But I can't seem to get it working.
It looks like there is no event for hover
or mouseover
in vue.js. Is this really true?
Would it be possible to combine jquery hover and vue methods?
i feel above logics for hover is incorrect. it just inverse when mouse hovers. i have used below code. it seems to work perfectly alright.
<div @mouseover="upHere = true" @mouseleave="upHere = false" >
<h2> Something Something </h2>
<some-component v-show="upHere"></some-component>
</div>
on vue instance
data : {
upHere : false
}
Hope that helps
Here is a working example of what I think you are asking for.
http://jsfiddle.net/1cekfnqw/3017/
<div id="demo">
<div v-show="active">Show</div>
<div @mouseover="mouseOver">Hover over me!</div>
</div>
var demo = new Vue({
el: '#demo',
data: {
active: false
},
methods: {
mouseOver: function(){
this.active = !this.active;
}
}
});
v-on:mouseover="mouseOver"
but did not mention in which version of vue the syntax changed
@mouseover:mouseover
There's no need for a method here.
HTML
<div v-if="active">
<h2>Hello World!</h2>
</div>
<div v-on:mouseover="active = !active">
<h1>Hover me!</h1>
</div>
JS
new Vue({
el: 'body',
data: {
active: false
}
})
v-on:mouseover
or the shortcut @mouseover
per the docs vuejs.org/guide/syntax.html#v-on-Shorthand
on
with v-on:
or @
for any of the html event attributes. w3schools.com/tags/ref_eventattributes.asp
To show child or sibling elements it's possible with CSS only. If you use :hover
before combinators (+
, ~
, >
, space
). Then the style applies not to hovered element.
HTML
<body>
<div class="trigger">
Hover here.
</div>
<div class="hidden">
This message shows up.
</div>
</body>
CSS
.hidden { display: none; }
.trigger:hover + .hidden { display: inline; }
With mouseover
and mouseleave
events you can define a toggle function that implements this logic and react on the value in the rendering.
Check this example:
var vm = new Vue({ el: '#app', data: {btn: 'primary'} });
@mouseover="btn-color='btn-warning' @mouseleave="btn-color='btn-primary' :class="btn btn-block { btn-color}"
Though I would give an update using the new composition api.
Component
<template>
<div @mouseenter="hovering = true" @mouseleave="hovering = false">
{{ hovering }}
</div>
</template>
<script>
import { ref } from '@vue/composition-api'
export default {
setup() {
const hovering = ref(false)
return { hovering }
}
})
</script>
Reusable Composition Function
Creating a useHover
function will allow you to reuse in any components.
export function useHover(target: Ref<HTMLElement | null>) {
const hovering = ref(false)
const enterHandler = () => (hovering.value = true)
const leaveHandler = () => (hovering.value = false)
onMounted(() => {
if (!target.value) return
target.value.addEventListener('mouseenter', enterHandler)
target.value.addEventListener('mouseleave', leaveHandler)
})
onUnmounted(() => {
if (!target.value) return
target.value.removeEventListener('mouseenter', enterHandler)
target.value.removeEventListener('mouseleave', leaveHandler)
})
return hovering
}
Here's a quick example calling the function inside a Vue component.
<template>
<div ref="hoverRef">
{{ hovering }}
</div>
</template>
<script lang="ts">
import { ref } from '@vue/composition-api'
import { useHover } from './useHover'
export default {
setup() {
const hoverRef = ref(null)
const hovering = useHover(hoverRef)
return { hovering, hoverRef }
}
})
</script>
You can also use a library such as @vuehooks/core
which comes with many useful functions including useHover
.
Reference: Vuejs composition API
I think what you want to achieve is with the combination of
@mouseover, @mouseout, @mouseenter and @mouseleave
So the two best combinations are
"@mouseover and @mouseout"
or
"@mouseenter and @mouseleave"
And I think, It's better to use the 2nd pair so that you can achieve the hover effect and call functionalities on that.
<div @mouseenter="activeHover = true" @mouseleave="activeHover = false" >
<p v-if="activeHover"> This will be showed on hover </p>
<p v-if ="!activeHover"> This will be showed in simple cases </p>
</div>
on vue instance
data : {
activeHover : false
}
Note: 1st pair will effect/travel on the child elements as well but 2nd pair will only effect where you want to use it not the child elements. Else you will experience some glitch/fluctuation by using 1st pair. So, better to use 2nd pair to avoid any fluctuations.
I hope, it will help others as well :)
It's possible to toggle a class on hover strictly within a component's template, however, it's not a practical solution for obvious reasons. For prototyping on the other hand, I find it useful to not have to define data properties or event handlers within the script.
Here's an example of how you can experiment with icon colors using Vuetify.
new Vue({ el: '#app' })
With mouseover
only the element stays visible when mouse leaves the hovered element, so I added this:
@mouseover="active = !active" @mouseout="active = !active"
<script>
export default {
data(){
return {
active: false
}
}
</script>
I came up with the same problem, and I work it out !
There is a correct working JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/1cekfnqw/176/
<p v-on:mouseover="mouseOver" v-bind:class="{on: active, 'off': !active}">Hover over me!</p>
Please take a look at the vue-mouseover package if you are not satisfied with how does this code look:
<div
@mouseover="isMouseover = true"
@mouseleave="isMouseover = false"
/>
vue-mouseover provides a v-mouseover
directive that automaticaly updates the specified data context property when the cursor enters or leaves an HTML element the directive is attached to.
By default in the next example isMouseover
property will be true
when the cursor is over an HTML element and false
otherwise:
<div v-mouseover="isMouseover" />
Also by default isMouseover
will be initially assigned when v-mouseover
is attached to the div
element, so it will not remain unassigned before the first mouseenter
/mouseleave
event.
You can specify custom values via v-mouseover-value
directive:
<div
v-mouseover="isMouseover"
v-mouseover-value="customMouseenterValue"/>
or
<div
v-mouseover="isMouseover"
v-mouseover-value="{
mouseenter: customMouseenterValue,
mouseleave: customMouseleaveValue
}"
/>
Custom default values can be passed to the package via options object during setup.
Here is a very simple example for MouseOver and MouseOut:
<div id="app">
<div :style = "styleobj" @mouseover = "changebgcolor" @mouseout = "originalcolor">
</div>
</div>
new Vue({
el:"#app",
data:{
styleobj : {
width:"100px",
height:"100px",
backgroundColor:"red"
}
},
methods:{
changebgcolor : function() {
this.styleobj.backgroundColor = "green";
},
originalcolor : function() {
this.styleobj.backgroundColor = "red";
}
}
});
