Prevent form submitting when pressing enter from a text input, using Vue.js
I am using Vue.js in my app and have a text input within a form
<div id="myVueForm">
<form>
<input type="text" v-on="keyup:addCategory | key 'enter'">
<!-- more form fields -->
<button type="submit">Submit Form</button>
</form>
</div>
In my Vue instance I have the following
new Vue({
el: '#myVueForm',
methods: {
addCategory: function(e)
{
if(e) e.preventDefault();
console.log("Added a new category, thanks!");
}
}
});
Despite the preventDefault()
call, when a user presses enter whilst on the text input the form still submits (although the addCategory()
method does fire). This behaviour can be demonstrated in this fiddle.
I know I can use jQuery to catch the event and prevent the submit, but I'd like to see if it's possible in Vue to do this as it seems quite a common usage.
Here's a solution for Vue.js 2.x:
<input type='text' v-on:keydown.enter.prevent='addCategory' />
The submit is always fired on keydown. So use keydown instead of keyup.
<input type="text" v-on="keydown:addCategory | key 'enter'">
