createTemplatePromise ​
Template as Promise. Useful for constructing custom Dialogs, Modals, Toasts, etc.
WARNING
This function only works for Vue 3
Demo ​
Usage ​
<script setup lang="ts">
import { createTemplatePromise } from '@vueuse/core'
const TemplatePromise = createTemplatePromise<ReturnType>()
async function open() {
const result = await TemplatePromise.start()
// button is clicked, result is 'ok'
}
</script>
<template>
<TemplatePromise v-slot="{ promise, resolve, reject, args }">
<!-- your UI -->
<button @click="resolve('ok')">
OK
</button>
</TemplatePromise>
</template>Features ​
- Programmatic - call your UI as a promise
- Template - use Vue template to render, not a new DSL
- TypeScript - full type safety via generic type
- Renderless - you take full control of the UI
- Transition - use support Vue transition
This function is migrated from vue-template-promise
Usage ​
createTemplatePromise returns a Vue Component that you can directly use in your template with <script setup>
import { createTemplatePromise } from '@vueuse/core'
const TemplatePromise = createTemplatePromise()
const MyPromise = createTemplatePromise<boolean>() // with generic typeimport { createTemplatePromise } from '@vueuse/core'
const TemplatePromise = createTemplatePromise()
const MyPromise = createTemplatePromise() // with generic typeIn template, use v-slot to access the promise and resolve functions.
<template>
<TemplatePromise v-slot="{ promise, resolve, reject, args }">
<!-- you can have anything -->
<button @click="resolve('ok')">
OK
</button>
</TemplatePromise>
<MyPromise v-slot="{ promise, resolve, reject, args }">
<!-- another one -->
</MyPromise>
</template>The slot will not be rendered initially (similar to v-if="false"), until you call the start method from the component.
const result = await TemplatePromise.start()Once resolve or reject is called in the template, the promise will be resolved or rejected, returning the value you passed in. Once resolved, the slot will be removed automatically.
Passing Arguments ​
You can pass arguments to the start with arguments.
import { createTemplatePromise } from '@vueuse/core'
const TemplatePromise = createTemplatePromise<boolean, [string, number]>()import { createTemplatePromise } from '@vueuse/core'
const TemplatePromise = createTemplatePromise()const result = await TemplatePromise.start('hello', 123) // PrAnd in the template slot, you can access the arguments via args property.
<template>
<TemplatePromise v-slot="{ args, resolve }">
<div>{{ args[0] }}</div>
<!-- hello -->
<div>{{ args[1] }}</div>
<!-- 123 -->
<button @click="resolve(true)">
OK
</button>
</TemplatePromise>
</template>Transition ​
You can use transition to animate the slot.
<script setup lang="ts">
const TemplatePromise = createTemplatePromise<ReturnType>({
transition: {
name: 'fade',
appear: true,
},
})
</script>
<template>
<TemplatePromise v-slot="{ resolve }">
<!-- your UI -->
<button @click="resolve('ok')">
OK
</button>
</TemplatePromise>
</template>
<style scoped>
.fade-enter-active,
.fade-leave-active {
transition: opacity 0.5s;
}
.fade-enter,
.fade-leave-to {
opacity: 0;
}
</style>Learn more about Vue Transition.
Motivation ​
The common approach to call a dialog or a model programmatically would be like this:
const dialog = useDialog()
const result = await dialog.open({
title: 'Hello',
content: 'World',
})This would work by sending these information to the top-level component and let it render the dialog. However, it limits the flexibility you could express in the UI. For example, you could want the title to be red, or have extra buttons, etc. You would end up with a lot of options like:
const result = await dialog.open({
title: 'Hello',
titleClass: 'text-red',
content: 'World',
contentClass: 'text-blue text-sm',
buttons: [
{ text: 'OK', class: 'bg-red', onClick: () => {} },
{ text: 'Cancel', class: 'bg-blue', onClick: () => {} },
],
// ...
})Even this is not flexible enough. If you want more, you might end up with manual render function.
const result = await dialog.open({
title: 'Hello',
contentSlot: () => h(MyComponent, { content }),
})This is like reinventing a new DSL in the script to express the UI template.
So this function allows expressing the UI in templates instead of scripts, where it is supposed to be, while still being able to be manipulated programmatically.
