Handling Enter Key in Vue.js

Solution 1:

In vue 2, You can catch enter event with v-on:keyup.enter check the documentation:

https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/events.html#Key-Modifiers

I leave a very simple example:

var vm = new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  data: {msg: ''},
  methods: {
    onEnter: function() {
       this.msg = 'on enter event';
    }
  }
});
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue"></script>

<div id="app">
  <input v-on:keyup.enter="onEnter" />
  <h1>{{ msg }}</h1>
</div>

Good luck

Solution 2:

Event Modifiers

You can refer to event modifiers in vuejs to prevent form submission on enter key.

It is a very common need to call event.preventDefault() or event.stopPropagation() inside event handlers.

Although we can do this easily inside methods, it would be better if the methods can be purely about data logic rather than having to deal with DOM event details.

To address this problem, Vue provides event modifiers for v-on. Recall that modifiers are directive postfixes denoted by a dot.

<form v-on:submit.prevent="<method>">
  ...
</form>

As the documentation states, this is syntactical sugar for e.preventDefault() and will stop the unwanted form submission on press of enter key.

Here is a working fiddle.

new Vue({
  el: '#myApp',
  data: {
    emailAddress: '',
    log: ''
  },
  methods: {
    validateEmailAddress: function(e) {
      if (e.keyCode === 13) {
        alert('Enter was pressed');
      } else if (e.keyCode === 50) {
        alert('@ was pressed');
      }      
      this.log += e.key;
    },
    
    postEmailAddress: function() {
			this.log += '\n\nPosting';
    },
    noop () {
      // do nothing ?
    }
  }
})
html, body, #editor {
  margin: 0;
  height: 100%;
  color: #333;
}
<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/vue.js"></script>
<div id="myApp" style="padding:2rem; background-color:#fff;">
<form v-on:submit.prevent="noop">
  <input type="text" v-model="emailAddress" v-on:keyup="validateEmailAddress" />
  <button type="button" v-on:click="postEmailAddress" >Subscribe</button> 
  <br /><br />
  
  <textarea v-model="log" rows="4"></textarea>  
</form>
</div>

Solution 3:

This event works to me:

@keyup.enter.native="onEnter".
