vue.js 'document.getElementById' shorthand

Question

Does vue.js have a shorthand for document.getElementById('#id') like JQuery's $('#id')?

If so, where is the reference for this in the docs so I can locate other information?

Answer 1

Theres no shorthand way in vue 2.

Jeff's method seems already deprecated in vue 2.

Heres another way u can achieve your goal.

 var app = new Vue({
    el:'#app',
    methods: {    
        showMyDiv() {
           console.log(this.$refs.myDiv);
        }
    }
    
   });

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/vue.js"></script>
<div id='app'>
   <div id="myDiv" ref="myDiv"></div>
   <button v-on:click="showMyDiv" >Show My Div</button>
</div>
