How to Create a Reusable Form Component in Vue 3

When developing a web application, especially with Vue 3 and modern state management through Pinia, one common challenge developers face is creating forms for both creating and updating resources. In this guide, we will explore an elegant solution that allows for the reuse of a single form component in your Vue 3 applications to handle both creation and updates.

The Problem Defined

You have a Vue 3 application using Pinia stores that interacts with a REST API to manage a resource called Applications. Rather than creating separate components for updating and creating applications, you want to build a single reusable form component that can take care of both tasks.

Current Implementation

Here’s the existing setup:

You are already fetching applications from your API and managing them via a Pinia store.

You can already populate the form with an existing application using route parameters.

What you're uncertain about is how to signal the form component whether it should create a new application or update an existing one. Let's dive into a structured solution!

Solution Overview

Step 1: Utilizing Events to Handle Form Submission

A clean way to manage the submission of both create and update actions is to use events. You can emit a custom submit event from within your form component, and the parent component can handle the specific logic based on the form's state.

Step 2: Modifying Your Application Form Component

Here's how you can modify your ApplicationForm.vue to include the necessary logic:

Step 3: Creating a Parent Component

On the parent component where the form is rendered, you would manage which action occurs based on whether an application is being edited or created. Here’s an example of how it might look:

Key Points to Consider

Props for Reusability: Your form should take in props such as application for the data, error for error messages, and buttonText to dynamically change the button label.

Event Handling: Emit a submit event from the form component, which is then handled by the parent, improving reusability and separation of concerns.

Avoid Direct Route Dependency: Let the parent component manage route parameters instead of letting the form component directly interact with them. This keeps your form as reusable as possible.

Conclusion

By emitting a custom event and using props effectively, you can create a single reusable form component in Vue 3 that gracefully handles both creating and updating your resources. This solution optimizes your code, reduces redundancy, and enhances maintainability, making it an invaluable pattern for any Vue 3 developer working with forms.

Now you can implement this pattern in your application, ensuring a seamless experience for users and a cleaner codebase for yourself. Happy coding!
