vue-mvvm / core / UserControl

UserControl ​

The UserControl class provides a foundation for creating reusable and interactive UI components within an application.

It should be used when UI logic gets too heavy to put it in a single ViewModel class, instead some parts of the UI (e.g. forms) are abstracted into their own UserControl logic and communicate with the using ViewModel via the Action interface
