Component

::: info This function will be removed in future version.

Vue 3.5 introduced the useTemplateRef API which can effectively replace the functionality of templateRef, therefore we recommend using the native approach. :::

templateRef

Shorthand for binding ref to template element.

Usage

<script lang="ts">
import { templateRef } from '@vueuse/core'

export default {
  setup() {
    const target = templateRef('target')

    // no need to return the `target`, it will bind to the ref magically
  },
}
</script>

<template>
  <div ref="target" />
</template>

With JSX/TSX

import { templateRef } from '@vueuse/core'

export default {
  setup() {
    const target = templateRef<HTMLElement | null>('target', null)

    // use string ref
    return () => <div ref="target"></div>
  },
}

<script setup>

There is no need for this when using with <script setup> since all the variables will be exposed to the template. It will be exactly the same as ref.

<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref } from 'vue'

const target = ref<HTMLElement | null>(null)
</script>

<template>
  <div ref="target" />
</template>
