Vue.js Link Click Handling Example

In this tutorial, we will see Vue.js link click handling example.

Handling click events with Vue

If you want to prevent the default behavior of a link click in Vue.js and also capture some information associated with that link (like an object), you can use the @click.prevent event handler to prevent the default action and then call a method that handles the click event while passing the relevant object. Here's an example:

Assuming you have a link in your template:

<template>
  <div>
    <a href="#" @click.prevent="handleLinkClick(someObject)">Click me</a>
  </div>
</template>

In your Vue component:

<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      someObject: { /* Your object data here */ }
    };
  },
  methods: {
    handleLinkClick(obj) {
      // Perform any actions you need with the object
      console.log('Object clicked:', obj);
      
      // If you want to navigate to the link's href after handling the click
      // window.location.href = event.currentTarget.href;
    }
  }
}
</script>

In this example:

• @click.prevent prevents the default behavior of the link.
• The handleLinkClick method is called when the link is clicked, and it takes the someObject as an argument.
• You can then perform any actions you need with the object in the handleLinkClick method.
