Vue 3 Custom `v-model` for Component Input

Learn how to implement `v-model` functionality on your custom Vue 3 components, enabling two-way data binding for enhanced reusability and clean form handling.

// src/components/MyCustomInput.vue
<template>
  <label>
    {{ label }}:
    <input
      type="text"
      :value="modelValue"
      @input="$emit('update:modelValue', $event.target.value)"
    />
  </label>
</template>

<script setup>
import { defineProps, defineEmits } from 'vue';

const props = defineProps({
  modelValue: {
    type: String,
    default: ''
  },
  label: {
    type: String,
    default: 'Input'
  }
});

const emit = defineEmits(['update:modelValue']);
</script>

// src/App.vue
<template>
  <div>
    <h1>Custom V-Model Example</h1>
    <MyCustomInput v-model="message" label="Your Message" />
    <p>Parent Component Message: {{ message }}</p>

    <hr />
    <MyCustomInput v-model:modelValue="username" label="Username" />
    <p>Parent Component Username: {{ username }}</p>
  </div>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue';
import MyCustomInput from './components/MyCustomInput.vue';

const message = ref('Hello Vue!');
const username = ref('JohnDoe');
</script>
How it works: This snippet shows how to create a custom input component (`MyCustomInput.vue`) that fully supports Vue 3's `v-model`. By defining a `modelValue` prop and emitting an `update:modelValue` event on input, the custom component achieves seamless two-way data binding with the parent component, making it behave like a native input element.
