The heart of every application is displaying data to users. Sometimes it is very challenging to display that data using text. Charts and graphs are a great way to provide a visual representation of that data. In this article, I will show you how easy it is to create visually appealing charts in your Vue.js application.
Getting Started
I will be using the Vue CLI to scaffold out a starter application quickly. I will use both echarts and vue-echarts to add charts to our starter application. So let’s get started.
Install the Vue CLI with this command:
<![CDATA[npm install @vue/cli
]]>
Next, we will use the Vue CLI to scaffold out a Vue application that we will use. We will create the application using this command:

Directives are special attributes with the v- prefix. A directive’s job is to reactively apply side effects to the DOM when the value of its expression changes. Vue.js provides a wide range of directives for you to use. You have probably already used the v-if, v-repeat, v-model and v-show directives.
In this article, I am going to explain the parts of a directive and what is available to use. Then I will show you how to create a wide range of custom directives so that you can apply your programming needs directly to DOM elements. So let’s get started discussing what is included with a directive.

Project Layout
We need to create a container that will contain all the images that we want to scroll. Here is the code:

¡Hola. Bonjour. Ciao. 你好. Here is how you add internationalization to Vue.
My company has plants in 37 countries. We write applications for the employees at these plants. Our application has to be translated into their native language. You can easily add internationalization to your Vue application. Let me show you how to add internationalization to the default Vue application.
Creating Our Application
We will be creating an application using the Vue CLI. If you do not have it installed you can install it with this command:
<![CDATA[npm install @vue/cli -g]]>
The -g flag will install the Vue CLI globally. Now that we have the CLI installed we can create a new application. Enter this command to create the application:
<![CDATA[vue create vue-internationalization]]>
The Vue CLI will prompt you to pick a preset. You have the option of selecting the default preset or manually selecting features. I chose default.
