<div data-vue="users">
  <input value="Example" v-model="user.name">
  <p>User Name: {{ user.name }}</p>

  <hello></hello>
</div>

Add data-vue attribute, the value is file name in app/javascript/packs/vue_melt/options. Vue instance is mounted at turbolinks:load event and unmounted at turbolinks:visit event.

Before Vue rendering, value, checked or selected attributes of elements with v-model is automatically assigned to Vue model. Therefore, form_with and so on using Active Model can use data binding easily.

accepts_nested_attributes_for

JSON of data-vue-model is assigned to Vue model. Also, v-model with prefix _ is not assigned for v-for scope.

<!-- app/views/**/*.html.erb -->

<div data-vue="users">
  <%= content_tag :div, 'data-vue-model': "{ \"items\": #{user.items.to_json} }" do %>
    <div v-for="(_item, i) in items">
      <input type="text" :name="'user[items_attributes][' + i + '][name]'" v-model="_item.name">
      <input type="hidden" :name="'user[items_attributes][' + i + '][id]'" :value="_item.id" v-if="_item.id">
    </div>
  <% end %>
</div>

With Add and Remove function:

<!-- app/views/**/*.html.erb -->

<div data-vue="users">
  <%= content_tag :div, 'data-vue-model': "{ \"items\": #{user.items.to_json}, \"items_destroy_ids\": [] }" do %>
    <div v-for="(_item, i) in items">
      <input type="text" :name="'user[items_attributes][' + i + '][name]'" v-model="_item.name">
      <input type="hidden" :name="'user[items_attributes][' + i + '][id]'" :value="_item.id" v-if="_item.id">
      <button type="button" @click="_item.hasOwnProperty('id') ? items_destroy_ids.push(items.splice(i, 1)[0].id) : items.splice(i, 1)">Remove</button>
    </div>

    <template v-for="(id, i) in items_destroy_ids">
      <input type="hidden" :name="'user[items_attributes][' + (items.length+i) + '][id]'" :value="id">
