A common scenario is to present different components based on the state of the application. Dynamic components in Vue make this simple by providing a component element that simply needs to be bound to the component that you want to render. This example shows using a select dropdown in Vue to select the component to render.

Instructor: [00:00] To demonstrate dynamic components, I created three functional components, each one just returning an h1 with a different background and text.

[00:09] I'm going to make an array of these on my component. I'll call these comps, let's say one, two, and three. Then, I'll have a selected comp, which can be this.comps, and describe the first one.

[00:21] I'll use a select drop-down right in here, select, and I'll set up a v-model. That's bound to the selected comp. The options for this will be looping through v-for, where we say comp in comps, we'll make the key the comp.name. The whole label can be the comp.name, as well. Of course, I need the value bound to the comp.

[00:49] We have our drop-down with one, two, and three. When I change that, it'll change the selected comp, which makes it easy to use the component, which is a reserved component name in Vue. I can bind is to selected comp.

[01:05] From here, it's easy to go one, two, three. Whenever I select a component, my is changes to the selected comp, which can be either this one, that one, or that one, because I'm simply providing this list and a model to my select drop-down, three, two, and one.
