Vue.js unknown custom element
Javascriptvue.jsJavascript Problem Overview
I'm a beginner with Vue.js and I'm trying to create an app that caters my daily tasks and I ran into Vue Components. So below is what I've tried but unfortunately, it gives me this error:
> vue.js:1023 [Vue warn]: Unknown custom element:
Any ideas, help, please?
new Vue({
el : '#app',
data : {
tasks : [
{ name : "task 1", completed : false},
{ name : "task 2", completed : false},
{ name : "task 3", completed : true}
]
},
methods : {
},
computed : {
},
ready : function(){
}
});
Vue.component('my-task',{
template : '#task-template',
data : function(){
return this.tasks
},
props : ['task']
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/1.0.26/vue.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<div v-for="task in tasks">
<my-task :task="task"></my-task>
</div>
</div>
<template id="task-template">
<h1>My tasks</h1>
<div class="">{{ task.name }}</div>
</template>
Javascript Solutions
Solution 1 - Javascript
You forgot about the components
section in your Vue initialization
. So Vue actually doesn't know about your component.
Change it to:
var myTask = Vue.component('my-task', {
template: '#task-template',
data: function() {
return this.tasks; //Notice: in components data should return an object. For example "return { someProp: 1 }"
},
props: ['task']
});
new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: {
tasks: [{
name: "task 1",
completed: false
},
{
name: "task 2",
completed: false
},
{
name: "task 3",
completed: true
}
]
},
components: {
myTask: myTask
},
methods: {
},
computed: {
},
ready: function() {
}
});
And here is jsBin, where all seems to works correctly: http://jsbin.com/lahawepube/edit?html,js,output
UPDATE
Sometimes you want your components to be globally visible to other components.
In this case you need to register your components in this way, before your Vue initialization
or export
(in case if you want to register component from the other component)
Vue.component('exampleComponent', require('./components/ExampleComponent.vue')); //component name should be in camel-case
After you can add your component inside your vue el
:
<example-component></example-component>
Solution 2 - Javascript
Just define Vue.component()
before new vue()
.
Vue.component('my-task',{
.......
});
new Vue({
.......
});
update
- HTML converts
<anyTag>
to<anytag>
- So don't use captital letters for component's name
- Instead of
<myTag>
use<my-tag>

Solution 3 - Javascript
I just spared 1 hour with this message - usually easy to solve.
I got this error because I forgot to close my <script> tag in the parent component.
The browser console & my code editor gave no indication unfortunately.
Solution 4 - Javascript
This solved it for me: I supplied a third argument being an object.
in app.js
(working with laravel and webpack):
Vue.component('news-item', require('./components/NewsItem.vue'), {
name: 'news-item'
});
Solution 5 - Javascript
Don't overuse Vue.component()
, it registers components globally. You can create file, name it MyTask.vue, export there Vue object
https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/single-file-components.html
and then import in your main file, and don't forget to register it:
new Vue({
...
components: { myTask }
...
})
Solution 6 - Javascript
In my case I had
import {component} from "@/path/to/component.vue"
Changing it to
import component from "@/path/to/component.vue"
fixed the issue.
Solution 7 - Javascript
Be sure that you have added the component to the components.
For example:
export default {
data() {
return {}
},
components: {
'lead-status-modal': LeadStatusModal,
},
}
Solution 8 - Javascript
Vue definitely has some bugs around this. I find that although registering a component like so
components: { MyComponent }
will work most of the time, and can be used as MyComponent or my-component automatically, sometimes you have to spell it out as such
components: { 'my-component' : MyComponent }
And use it strictly as my-component
Solution 9 - Javascript
OK, this error may seem obvious, but one day I was looking for an answer JUST TO FOUND OUT THAT I HAD 2 times COMPONENTS declared. it was driving me nuts as VueJS does not complain at all when you declare it 2 times, obvious I had a lot of code in between, and when I added a new component, I placed the declaration in the top, while I also had one close to the bottom. So next time looks for this first, saves a lot of time
Solution 10 - Javascript
I was following along the Vue documentation at https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/index.html when I ran into this issue.
Later they clarify the syntax:
>So far, we’ve only registered components globally, using Vue.component: > > Vue.component('my-component-name', { > // ... options ... > }) > >Globally registered components can be used in the template of any root >Vue instance (new Vue) created afterwards – and even inside all >subcomponents of that Vue instance’s component tree.
(https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/components.html#Organizing-Components)
So as Umesh Kadam says above, just make sure the global component definition comes before the var app = new Vue({})
instantiation.
Solution 11 - Javascript
This is a good way to create a component in vue.
let template = `<ul>
<li>Your data here</li>
</ul>`;
Vue.component('my-task', {
template: template,
data() {
},
props: {
task: {
type: String
}
},
methods: {
},
computed: {
},
ready() {
}
});
new Vue({
el : '#app'
});
