Worked Vue examples

act101 parses Vue single-file components with a dedicated grammar and edits template attributes and script declarations as syntax nodes. It can add a :key binding to a v-for loop that lacks one. It can consolidate an explicit :modelValue/@update:modelValue pair on a child component into a single v-model binding. And it can generate or extend a component's emits: array with a given event name, creating the option if the component does not already have one. Each example below is the verbatim output of the command shown, run against the file shown.

Add a key binding to a v-for loop

list.vue renders a list of items with v-for="item in items" but no :key, so Vue cannot track list items across re-renders.

$ act refactor-lang add_key_to_v_for --file list.vue --params '{"line":3,"column":1}'

Before

<template>
  <ul>
    <li v-for="item in items">{{ item.name }}</li>
  </ul>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data() { return { items: [] } }
}
</script>

After

<template>
  <ul>
    <li v-for="item in items" :key="item.id">{{ item.name }}</li>
  </ul>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data() { return { items: [] } }
}
</script>

The <li> element gains :key="item.id", giving Vue a stable identity for each rendered item.

Consolidate a modelValue pair into v-model

form-input.vue binds a child FormInput with the explicit :modelValue prop and a matching @update:modelValue listener that writes back to formData.email.

$ act refactor-lang convert_two_way_binding_to_v_model --file form-input.vue --params '{"prop_name":"modelValue","line":1,"column":1}'

Before

<template>
  <FormInput :modelValue="formData.email" @update:modelValue="formData.email = $event" />
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return { formData: { email: '' } }
  }
}
</script>

After

<template>
  <FormInput v-model="formData.email" />
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return { formData: { email: '' } }
  }
}
</script>

The two attributes collapse into a single v-model="formData.email" binding on FormInput.

Add an event to the emits declaration

form.vue's component calls this.$emit('submit') from handleSubmit, but its emits option is still an empty array.

$ act refactor-lang generate_emits_definition --file form.vue --params '{"event_name":"submit"}'

Before

<template>
  <form @submit.prevent="handleSubmit">
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
  </form>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  emits: [],
  methods: {
    handleSubmit() {
      this.$emit('submit')
    }
  }
}
</script>

After

<template>
  <form @submit.prevent="handleSubmit">
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
  </form>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  emits: ['submit'],
  methods: {
    handleSubmit() {
      this.$emit('submit')
    }
  }
}
</script>

emits: [] becomes emits: ['submit'], declaring the event the component already fires.

Refactor

Operation Description
add-key-to-v-for Add :key binding to v-for loops for stability
add-type-annotation-to-prop Add a TypeScript type annotation to an untyped prop
add-v-model-binding Convert :prop/@update:prop pattern to v-model binding
convert-arrow-to-method Convert an arrow function data property to a proper method
convert-method-to-arrow Convert a method to an arrow function
convert-prop-validator-to-type Convert a runtime prop validator to a TypeScript PropType annotation
convert-string-interpolation Convert template string interpolation to expression binding
convert-string-to-dynamic-binding Convert a hardcoded string to a dynamic :bind expression
convert-to-composition-api Convert an Options API component to Composition API
convert-two-way-binding-to-v-model Consolidate :prop and @update:prop bindings into v-model
extract-component Extract selected template markup into a new component
extract-computed-property Extract an expression from template into a computed property
extract-event-handler Extract an inline event handler from template into a method
extract-template-helper Extract a complex expression into a template helper function
extract_function Extract a code selection into a new function — automatically infers parameters, return types, and inserts the call site. Use instead of manually cutting/pasting code. Works without LSP; LSP improves type inference. Params: file (string), new_name (string), start_line (u32), start_column (u32), end_line (u32), end_column (u32) [, preview (bool), receipt (bool)]
extract_variable Extract an expression into a named variable — inserts the declaration and replaces the expression with the variable name. Works without LSP. Params: file (string), new_name (string), start_line (u32), start_column (u32), end_line (u32), end_column (u32) [, preview (bool)]
generate-component-scaffold Generate a new Vue component with Options API structure
generate-composition-api-component Generate a new Vue component with Composition API script setup
generate-computed-property Generate a computed property with getter expression
generate-emits-definition Generate or extend the emits declaration with event names
generate-lifecycle-hook Generate a lifecycle hook in a Vue component
generate-list-binding Generate a v-for loop with key and data structure
generate-prop-definition Generate a prop definition with type annotation and default value
generate-v-model-prop Generate a prop and emit for v-model two-way binding
inline Inline a variable, function, or method — replace every usage with its definition body, then remove the original. The inverse of extract. Works without LSP (single-file); LSP enables cross-file inlining. Params: file (string), symbol (string) [, line (u32), preview (bool), receipt (bool)]
inline-computed Inline a computed property into template
insert_body Replace a function's implementation body with new code. AST-validated — rejects if the result has parse errors, so you can't accidentally break syntax. Use instead of manual text editing for function rewrites. Params: file (string), symbol (string), code (string) [, commit (bool)]
move_symbol Move a function, class, or type to a different file and automatically update all imports across the codebase. Use instead of manually cut/paste + fixing imports. Works without LSP (single-file); LSP enables cross-file import updates. Params: file (string), symbol (string), destination (string) [, preview (bool), receipt (bool)]
recipe_run Run a codemod recipe: declarative match → transform → optional verify across modeled grammars. Preview lists matches; apply writes with optional E7 receipts and all-or-nothing rollback. Returns a per-site report.
remove-unused-method Remove an unused method from the component
remove-unused-prop Remove an unused prop definition
rename Rename a symbol and automatically update ALL references across the codebase. Safer and faster than find-and-replace — AST-aware, won't rename strings or comments. Works without LSP (single-file); LSP enables cross-file renames. Params: file (string), old_name (string), new_name (string) [, line (u32), column (u32), preview (bool), receipt (bool)]
rename-computed-property Rename a computed property across definition and template references
rename-data-property Rename a data property across definition, template, and methods
rename-emitted-event Rename an emitted event across emit calls and parent listeners
rename-method Rename a component method across definition and call sites
rename-prop Rename a Vue component prop across definition and all usages
