Introduction

Vue.js is a popular JavaScript framework for building user interfaces. It is often referred to as a progressive framework because you can use as much or as little of it as you like. This guide is designed for beginners to help you get started with Vue.js and understand its fundamental concepts.

Getting Started

To begin with Vue.js, you need to include the Vue library in your HTML file. You can do this by adding the following script tag to your HTML:

                            <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue@2.6.14/dist/vue.js"></script>
                    

This script tag includes Vue.js from a Content Delivery Network (CDN). You can also download the library and host it locally if needed.

Your First Vue Application

Let's create a simple Vue application to get a taste of how Vue works. Start by adding the following HTML code to your document:

                            <div id="app">
                    {{ message }}
                </div>
                    

Now, create a new Vue instance and bind it to the "#app" element in your JavaScript:

                            var app = new Vue({
                    el: '#app',
                    data: {
                        message: 'Hello, Vue.js!'
                    }
                });
                    

This simple example displays the message "Hello, Vue.js!" inside the "#app" div. Vue's reactivity system will keep this message in sync with your data.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You've just created your first Vue.js application. This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Vue.js's capabilities. To continue your journey, explore Vue's official documentation and try out more advanced features and components.
