Core Concepts

Vue 2 and Aurelia 1 take fundamentally different approaches to building web applications:

  • Vue 2 uses a progressive framework approach with a virtual DOM and component-based architecture
  • Aurelia 1 is a convention-based framework that emphasizes standards compliance and powerful data binding

Reactivity and State Management

State Declaration

Both frameworks offer different ways to declare and manage state:

Vue 2’s Approach

<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      name: "John",
    };
  },
};
</script>

<template>
  <h1>Hello {{ name }}</h1>
</template>

Vue 2 uses a component-based approach with a data function.

Aurelia 1’s Approach

<!-- name.html -->
<template>
  <h1>Hello ${name}</h1>
</template>

Aurelia 1 uses a more traditional template-based approach with string interpolation.

State Updates

Vue 2

<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      name: "John",
    };
  },
  created() {
    this.name = "Jane";
  },
};
</script>

<template>
  <h1>Hello {{ name }}</h1>
</template>

Aurelia 1

<!-- name.html -->
<template>
  <h1>Hello ${name}</h1>
</template>

Computed Values

Vue 2

<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      count: 10,
    };
  },
  computed: {
    doubleCount() {
      return this.count * 2;
    },
  },
};
</script>

<template>
  <div>{{ doubleCount }}</div>
</template>

Aurelia 1

<!-- double-count.html -->
<template>
  <div>${doubleCount}</div>
</template>

Templating and Components

Basic Templates

Vue 2

<template>
  <h1>Hello world</h1>
</template>

Aurelia 1

<template>
  <h1>Hello world</h1>
</template>

CSS Styling

Vue 2

<template>
  <div>
    <h1 class="title">I am red</h1>
    <button style="font-size: 10rem">I am a button</button>
  </div>
</template>

<style scoped>
.title {
  color: red;
}
</style>

Aurelia 1

/* css-style.css */
.title {
  color: red;
}

DOM Manipulation

List Rendering

Vue 2

<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      colors: ["red", "green", "blue"],
    };
  },
};
</script>

<template>
  <ul>
    <li v-for="color in colors" :key="color">
      {{ color }}
    </li>
  </ul>
</template>

Aurelia 1

<template>
  <ul>
    <li repeat.for="color of colors">${color}</li>
  </ul>
</template>

Conditional Rendering

Vue 2

<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      TRAFFIC_LIGHTS: ["red", "orange", "green"],
      lightIndex: 0,
    };
  },
  computed: {
    light() {
      return this.TRAFFIC_LIGHTS[this.lightIndex];
    },
  },
  methods: {
    nextLight() {
      this.lightIndex = (this.lightIndex + 1) % this.TRAFFIC_LIGHTS.length;
    },
  },
};
</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <button @click="nextLight">Next light</button>
    <p>Light is: {{ light }}</p>
    <p>
      You must
      <span v-if="light === 'red'">STOP</span>
      <span v-else-if="light === 'orange'">SLOW DOWN</span>
      <span v-else-if="light === 'green'">GO</span>
    </p>
  </div>
</template>

Aurelia 1

<template>
  <button click.trigger="nextLight()">Next light</button>
  <p>Light is: ${light}</p>
  <p>
    You must
    <span if.bind="light === 'red'">STOP</span>
    <span if.bind="light === 'orange'">SLOW DOWN</span>
    <span if.bind="light === 'green'">GO</span>
  </p>
</template>

Event Handling

Click Events

Vue 2

<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      count: 0,
    };
  },
  methods: {
    incrementCount() {
      this.count++;
    },
  },
};
</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <p>Counter: {{ count }}</p>
    <button @click="incrementCount">+1</button>
  </div>

  <button click.trigger="incrementCount()">+1</button>
</template>

    <option
      v-for="color in colors"
      :key="color.id"
      :value="color.id"
      :disabled="color.isDisabled"
    >
