V-bind (almost always written with its shorthand 🙂 is the directive that lets you dynamically bind values to HTML attributes, props, or even special Vue features. Without v-bind, everything in your template would be...

V-cloak This is not a flashy directive like v-for or v-model — it’s a tiny helper that solves one very specific but very visible problem: The “Flash of Uncompiled Mustache” (also called FOUC —...

V-on (99% of the time written with its beautiful shorthand: @) This directive is Vue’s official way to listen to DOM events (click, submit, keyup, mouseenter, change…) and custom events emitted from child components....
