@ Using Cose Examples

The link for the code examples points to github. The repository is present, but contains only the .md file. The "files" folder is empty, except for the git control file. There is another complaint about this in the unconfirmed errata table, from 2 years ago!!

Seems like ORielly doesn't care much about the readers experience once they have paid for the book.

Chapter 1 / Computed Properties

The first example of this section does not work, as it's missing a "this":

return numbers.reduce((sum, val) => sum + val);

should become

return this.numbers.reduce((sum, val) => sum + val);



Tested with Vue.js v2.6.11

Chapter 1 / Reactivity / Caveats / Setting items on an array

There is a single quote missing in the following code sample:

vm.dogs.splice(2, 1, 'Bob);

It should be instead:

vm.dogs.splice(2, 1, 'Bob');

3rd paragraph

The following Vue template
<div v-show="true">one</div>
<div v-show="false">two</div>
results in the following output:
<div>one</div>
<div style="display: none">one</div>

at result the following output will be:
<div>one</div>
<div style="display: none">two</div>

that element style display:none will be two not one.

thank you.

2nd paragraph code example

The text talks about v-model, but the code uses v-bind

It says:

It’s important to note that when you use v-model , if you set the value , checked , or selected attributes, they will be ignored. If you want to set the initial value of the input, set it in the data object instead. See the following example:
<div id="app">
<input type="text" v-bind:value="inputText" value="initial value">

So the example should be:

<div id="app">
<input type="text" v-model="inputText" value="initial value">

Scoped Slots

In Chapter 2. Components in Vue.js, section "Scoped Slots", the example given isn't working:

<div>
<user-data slot-scope="user">
<p v-if="user">User name: {{ user.name }}</p>
</user-data>
</div>

It worked after the following changes.

<div>
<user-data>
<p slot-scope="slotProps">User name: {{ slotProps.user.name }}</p>
</user-data>
</div>

Thank you.

Appendix B
First code block in "Reactivity" section

In the React code example, there is a reference to counterInterval, but that variable was not previously defined.

Ch 6
Second code block in "Promises and Actions" section

The template should be changed to refer to 'updating' rather than 'loading', since that is the name of the data element defined in the component:

template: `<p>
Messages: {{ messages.length }}
<span v-if="loading">(updating…)</span>
<a v-else @click.prevent="handleUpdate">(update)</a>
</p>`

should be changed to:

template: `<p>
Messages: {{ messages.length }}
<span v-if="updating">(updating…)</span>
<a v-else @click.prevent="handleUpdate">(update)</a>
</p>`

Last paragraph of "Programmatic Navaigation" section

Sentence reads: "and to go forward 10 records, you’d use router.go(1)."

It should be, "and to go forward 10 records, you’d use router.go(10)."

Appendix B. Vue from React
Subchapter "Getting started", seconds paragraph

"You can also build you own templates to use with vue-cli."

Should be "... build your own ..."

Chapter 6
Subchapter 'Getters', second code block

The getter "unreadFrom" has a mistake:
The javascript function "filter" is called on the state object but the state object doesn't have a filter function. The messages property of the state object should be used instead.

Current code block (excerpt):
unreadFrom: (state) => state
.filter((message) => !message.read)
.map((message) => message.user.name)


Should be:
unreadFrom: (state) => state.messages
.filter((message) => !message.read)
.map((message) => message.user.name)

ch2
1/4 scroll


Where it reads:
The number passed to the display-number component is increasing by one every second (remember, the create function is ran when the instance is created), and so the prop is changing once a second. Vue is clever enough to know this, and so it updates the page.

It should read "the created function" instead of "the create function".

Ps:
You should improve this form for safari books readers: we don't have page numbers, and it's not practical to count the paragraph number.

Thank you.
