Consider two different scenarios:
Scenario 1:
data(){
return {
number: 2
}
},
methods: {
multiplyByTwo(number){
return number*2
}
},
mounted(){
this.multiplyByTwo(this.number)
}
Scenario 2:
data(){
return {
number: 2
}
},
methods: {
multiplyByTwo(){
return this.number*2
}
},
mounted(){
this.multiplyByTwo()
}
In both cases, the function multiplyByTwo calculates the result of multiplying the data's number property by 2. However, in scenario 1, the data number property is passed as an argument to the function, while in scenario 2, the data number property is directly accessed within the function without being passed as an argument.
Now the question arises whether one method is superior to the other. Scenario 2 may be considered less flexible because it relies on the component having a specific data property 'number' for the method to work.
On the other hand, the first scenario allows for more reusability since the number can be passed as an argument, making the method adaptable in various contexts.
Despite acknowledging these differences, I have frequently used scenario 2 in my Vue.js application. Now, I am contemplating whether some methods should be rewritten to ensure better code quality.
