What is the Vue 3 Options API?

Can you explain what the Vue 3 Options API is?

The Vue 3 Options API is a way to define components using an object-based syntax, allowing developers to organize code by options like data, methods, and lifecycle hooks.

How does it differ from the Composition API?

The Options API organizes code by options, while the Composition API allows for more flexible code organization using functions, making it easier to reuse logic.

Can you give me a simple example of using the Options API?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

export default {
  data() {
    return { message: 'Hello, Vue!' };
  },
  methods: {
    greet() {
      alert(this.message);
    }
  }
};

This defines a component with a data property and a method.

What are some common use cases for the Options API?

Common use cases include building simple components, managing state, and handling events in a structured way.
