Automatically Apply Custom Vue Directives in Nuxt 3
Intro
While building out some security measures on a project I’m working on, I came across a nice little trick involving Vue directives and Nuxt plugins that I wanted to talk about. This trick allows a developer to automatically apply a Vue directive to a set of HTML elements and
- saves time, because you don’t have to go through every file in your codebase, looking for HTML elements that need the directive.
- improves accuracy, meaning that you don’t have to come up with some sort of application-wide validation check, to ensure that the directive has actually been applied to all target elements.
- future-proofs your app by ensuring that necessary functionality will exist when new elements are added.
