When experiencing the "flash of uncompiled content" in Vue, the brief moment when the page is loading and you see the {{ Mustache }} syntax, developers often use either v-text or v-cloak.
According to the documentation, v-text:
Updates the element’s
textContent. For updating specific parts of thetextContent,{{ Mustache }}interpolations are recommended.
Regarding v-cloak:
This directive remains on the element until the associated Vue instance finishes compilation. When used with CSS rules like
[v-cloak] { display: none }, this directive can hide uncompiled mustache bindings until the Vue instance is fully prepared.
It seems that if there is no need to update the textContent, either v-text or v-cloak can be used to achieve the same outcome. However, what sets v-text and v-cloak apart from each other? And is there a preference for one over the other when it comes to concealing {{ Mustache }} bindings?
