| > I thought one of the beauty of vue template is 'It is not complete set of JavaScript logics, only subset that just able to support proper html structure.'. The problem with all templating systems is that they start with "we need to limit the amount of logic". But all templating systems find out that this is extremely limiting. So they grow. And grow. And grow. And grow. Same with Vue. The amount of special cases and custom things just grows and grows. See my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19199423 You need simple conditional logic. So you end up with v-if and v-else. Then you have to add v-if-else. You need loops. So you end up with a custom DSL for v-for. And then you expand it to also work on objects. And you need to bind to object produced inside the for loop. And... And you need to handle events. But events are anything but simple. You need to prevent them, you need to stop or start propagation, you need access to their properties. So you end up with v-on:click.stop.prevent. And function calls. And magic variables in the form of $event. Worse still, all your existing knowledge about how to apply these concepts in JS is void. Template has taken over. So in the end you end up with a system that is not really HTML, not really JS, but a weird combination of the two. And the amount of concepts is not exactly more readable than plain React that just uses JS everywhere. |
