vue-safe-teleport

Recommended for teleporting inside the app. You can replace all <Teleport> with <SafeTeleport>, it will wait for the target to be mounted before teleporting (or one frame if you don't use <TeleportTarget>, see below). Demo

No more "Failed to locate Teleport target with selector"!

Usage

Install the vue-safe-teleport package:

pnpm i vue-safe-teleport

Install the plugin in your Vue app:

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import VueSafeTeleport from 'vue-safe-teleport'

const app = createApp(App)
app.use(VueSafeTeleport)

Add a TeleportTarget (by default rendering a div) inside your app:

<template>
  <TeleportTarget
    id="target"
  />
</template>

Use the SafeTeleport component instead of Teleport (it has the same props):

<template>
  <SafeTeleport to="#target">
    <div>Teleported to target</div>
  </SafeTeleport>
</template>

The content will be teleported as soon as the corresponding target is mounted.

You can also use SafeTeleport without TeleportTarget, in that case it will work like the builtin Teleport but will wait one frame if the target DOM element isn't available yet:

<template>
  <SafeTeleport to="#target">
    <div>Teleported to target</div>
  </SafeTeleport>

  <div id="target"/>
</template>

TeleportTarget

This component will notify the SafeTeleport components when it is mounted. It will render a div by default, but you can change the tag.

Props:

• id: the id of the target, used to match the to prop of SafeTeleport
• tag: the tag of the target, defaults to div
• disabled: disable all SafeTeleport targeting this target

<template>
  <TeleportTarget
    id="target"
    tag="span"
    disabled
  />
</template>

Will render:

<span id="target"></span>

Migration example

Before:

<template>
  <div id="target" />

  <Teleport to="#target">
    <div>Teleported to target</div>
  </Teleport>
</template>

After:

<template>
  <TeleportTarget id="target" />

  <SafeTeleport to="#target">
    <div>Teleported to target</div>
  </SafeTeleport>
</template>
