Action Components

Button components for various user actions like editing, saving, deleting, etc.

Component Structure

All components follow these conventions:

• TypeScript: All components are written in TypeScript with strict type definitions
• Composition API: Using Vue 3’s <script setup> syntax
• Props Interface: Clear TypeScript interfaces for all props
• Emits: Typed emit definitions for component events
• Tailwind CSS: Utility-first CSS framework for styling
• Slots: Named and scoped slots for flexible content composition

Common Patterns

Props Validation

interface Props {
  required: string;
  optional?: boolean;
  withDefault?: string;
}

const props = withDefaults(defineProps<Props>(), {
  optional: false,
  withDefault: "default value",
});

Event Emissions

const emit = defineEmits<{
  click: [];
  change: [value: string];
  customEvent: [data: CustomType];
}>();

Computed Properties

const computedValue = computed(() => {
  return props.someValue ? "active" : "inactive";
});
