虽然计算属性在大多数情况下更合适,但有时也需要一个自定义的 watcher 。这是为什么 Vue 提供一个更通用的方法通过 watch 选项,来响应数据的变化。当你想要在数据变化响应时,执行异步操作或昂贵操作时,这是很有用的。
例如:
HTML:
<div id="watch-example"> <p> Ask a yes/no question: <input v-model="question"> </p> <p>{{ answer }}</p> </div>
JS:
<!-- Since there is already a rich ecosystem of ajax libraries --> <!-- and collections of general-purpose utility methods, Vue core --> <!-- is able to remain small by not reinventing them. This also --> <!-- gives you the freedom to just use what you're familiar with. --> <script src="https://unpkg.com/axios@0.12.0/dist/axios.min.js"></script> <script src="https://unpkg.com/lodash@4.13.1/lodash.min.js"></script> <script> var watchExampleVM = new Vue({ el: '#watch-example', data: { question: '', answer: 'I cannot give you an answer until you ask a question!' }, watch: { // 如果 question 发生改变,这个函数就会运行 question: function (newQuestion) { this.answer = 'Waiting for you to stop typing...' this.getAnswer() } }, methods: { // _.debounce 是一个通过 lodash 限制操作频率的函数。 // 在这个例子中,我们希望限制访问yesno.wtf/api的频率 // ajax请求直到用户输入完毕才会发出 // 学习更多关于 _.debounce function (and its cousin // _.throttle), 参考: https://lodash.com/docs#debounce getAnswer: _.debounce( function () { var vm = this if (this.question.indexOf('?') === -1) { vm.answer = 'Questions usually contain a question mark. ;-)' return } vm.answer = 'Thinking...' axios.get('https://yesno.wtf/api') .then(function (response) { vm.answer = _.capitalize(response.data.answer) }) .catch(function (error) { vm.answer = 'Error! Could not reach the API. ' + error }) }, // 这是我们为用户停止输入等待的毫秒数 500 ) } }) </script>
在这个示例中,使用 watch 选项允许我们执行异步操作(访问一个 API),限制我们执行该操作的频率,并在我们得到最终结果前,设置中间状态。这是计算属性无法做到的。
