portal-vue

What is portal-vue?

portal-vue is a Vue.js plugin that allows you to render a component's template in a different part of the DOM tree. This can be particularly useful for creating modals, tooltips, and other UI elements that need to be rendered outside of their parent component's DOM hierarchy.

What are portal-vue's main functionalities?

Basic Portal

This feature allows you to move a piece of the template to another part of the DOM. The `portal` component is used to specify the content to be moved and the `to` attribute specifies the target element.

<template>
  <div>
    <portal to="destination">
      <p>This content will be teleported to the destination element.</p>
    </portal>
    <div id="destination"></div>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import { Portal } from 'portal-vue';

export default {
  components: {
    Portal
  }
};
</script>

Named Portals

Named portals allow you to manage multiple portals more easily by giving each portal a unique name.

<template>
  <div>
    <portal to="destination" name="example">
      <p>This content will be teleported to the destination element with a specific name.</p>
    </portal>
    <div id="destination"></div>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import { Portal } from 'portal-vue';

export default {
  components: {
    Portal
  }
};
</script>

Scoped Slots

Scoped slots allow you to pass data from the parent component to the teleported content, making it more dynamic and interactive.

<template>
  <div>
    <portal to="destination" v-slot="props">
      <p>{{ props.message }}</p>
    </portal>
    <div id="destination"></div>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import { Portal } from 'portal-vue';

export default {
  components: {
    Portal
  },
  data() {
    return {
      message: 'This is a scoped slot message.'
    };
  }
};
</script>
