How to create a Vue.js instance and mount it to an element?

To create a Vue.js instance and mount it to an element, follow these steps:

  1. Include the Vue.js library in your HTML file with a <script> tag:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue/dist/vue.js"></script>
  1. Create a new Vue instance in a <script> tag:
<script> var app = new Vue({ // Vue options // ... }); </script>
  1. Specify the options for your Vue instance. For example:
<script> var app = new Vue({ el: '#my-app', data: { message: 'Hello, Vue!' } }); </script>

In the above example, the el option specifies the CSS selector identifying the element to mount the Vue instance to, and the data option defines the data properties for the instance.

  1. Create an HTML element with an id matching the el option in your Vue instance:
<div id="my-app"> {{ message }} </div>

In this case, the Vue instance will be mounted to the <div> element with the id 'my-app'.

  1. Load your HTML file in a web browser and the Vue instance will be mounted to the specified element, rendering the data properties defined in the Vue instance.

Note: Make sure to add the <script> tag containing the Vue instance after the HTML element you want to mount it to.
