My goal is to dynamically display components based on their type. Here's how I'm approaching it:
I have several similar components that should show different content depending on their type. Using the defineAsyncComponent method, I can easily import and use these components. For example:
const CheckBoxControl = defineAsyncComponent(
() => import('@/components/editor/controls/CheckBoxControl.vue'),
);
While this method works fine, I end up with a long list of imported components, which is not ideal. To address this, I've wrapped the defineAsyncComponent inside an arrow function like so:
const loadComponent = async (type: string) =>
defineAsyncComponent(
() =>
import(
`@/components/editor/controls/${type[0].toUpperCase()}${type.substring(
1,
)}Control.vue`
),
);
In the template, I can then render the component using
<component :is="renderComponent(control.type)" />However, this approach triggers the following warning: "[Vue warn]: Component is missing template or render function." Even awaiting the defineAsyncComponent method doesn't resolve the issue.
What am I doing wrong? How can I dynamically import and render these components?
Update
These are the possibilities for the control.type attribute:
- checkbox
- date
- number
- radio
- range
- select
- textarea
- text
Update 2
Here is my current code that is functioning correctly:
const CheckBoxControl = defineAsyncComponent(
() => import('@/components/editor/controls/CheckBoxControl.vue'),
);
// Repeat above pattern for other control types
const loadComponent = (type: string) => {
switch (type) {
case 'checkbox':
return CheckBoxControl;
// Add cases for other control types here
}
};
Update 3
My setup involves using Vite as the build tool, version 2.9.5. I'm also using Vue version 3.2.33 and TypeScript version 4.6.3.
