I absolutely agree on using vue rather than react. It's too complex. No need to use such complex tech. We just make a web page, not operating system.

You can use both hooks and functional components and for the most part you can forget about this problems. Hell even simple arrow functions will simplify it most of the time.

[@Heisenberg9427]

I am just wondering why there is a need to use any front-end framework, doesn't Django have the capability of creating views?

[@JadaKingdom971]

It has nothing to do with creating views. The reason you use Vue is for reactivity for example switches, checkboxes, sorting data without hitting the database etc etc

[@roba_mutua]

For the search functionality, make it dynamic. Send ajax requests on key up. Use Q to filter the query set. I use this functionality to filter articles on my website: search_text = request.POST.get('search_text') search_posts = Article.objects.filter( Q(title__icontains=search_text) | Q(body__icontains=search_text) | Q(category__icontains=search_text) ).distinct()

Just curious what the advantage would be of doing it this way as opposed to just deploying an SPA in VUE and consuming a DRF api for all the data? Ultimately that separation just feels cleaner to me...

[@tusharsharma1234]

Really nice video, I have a question using vue.js you have just replaced a single page so that it can be used for multiple routes without reloading the browser, that means rest of your webpages are routed by the backend.

Can you suggest any other course i should take in collage instead of CSE if i want to persue coding as a career ?

[@CSDojo]

(I'm assuming that you meant Computer Science when you said CSE here.) I think entrepreneurship-related courses and math courses (stats, linear algebra and calculus) might be helpful depending on what you want to do after college. In the end though, I think it's more important to do a lot of personal projects and try to understand what you're really interested in. So taking easy courses and spending more time in your personal time to do projects is another option.

[@edwardseverinsen5598]

I'm enjoying Vue thus far. The only hang up for me at the moment is using the same Vue app for multiple instances of essentially the same "object" on a webpage. For instance: Having a ListView in Django that displays multiple blog posts per page, with the body of their text being truncated to say 30 words and using Vue to expand the post body upon clicking. What I've had to do so far to work around this is use the {% for %} tag in my Django template and create a unique Vue app per blog post on the page. Which because I'm only showing 3 per page using pagination, doesn't have a noticeable performance impact, but seems hacky and like it may be a problem down the line. Thus far I have not a found a concrete answer for using multiple instances of the same "app" in Vue across multiple elements. Being able to use a Vue app like a class with predetermined data variable names with assignable contents would be the whole package tbh. I just can't seem to find anyone talking about how to do this which honestly baffles me.
