vuejs form prevent default event

To prevent the default event in a Vue.js form, you can follow these steps:

  1. In your Vue component, locate the form element that you want to prevent the default event on.

  2. Add an event listener to the form element using the @submit directive. This directive allows you to listen for the form's submission event.

  3. In the event listener, add a parameter to represent the event object. This parameter is typically named event or e.

  4. Inside the event listener function, call the preventDefault() method on the event object. This method prevents the default form submission behavior from occurring.

Here's an example of how these steps can be implemented in a Vue.js component:

<template>
  <form @submit="handleSubmit">
    <!-- form fields -->
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
  </form>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  methods: {
    handleSubmit(event) {
      event.preventDefault();
      // Handle form submission logic
    }
  }
}
</script>

By adding the @submit="handleSubmit" directive to the form element, we are listening for the form's submission event. When the form is submitted, the handleSubmit method is called, passing the event object as a parameter. Calling event.preventDefault() inside the handleSubmit method prevents the default form submission behavior.

Remember to replace the <!-- form fields --> section with your actual form fields, and implement the desired form submission logic inside the handleSubmit method.
