Building a Reusable Product Card with Local Components in Vue (TypeScript)

This challenge focuses on leveraging Vue's local component feature to create a modular and reusable product card component. Local components allow you to encapsulate specific parts of your UI within a parent component, promoting cleaner code and better organization. You'll build a ProductCard component that utilizes a local ProductImage and ProductDetails component to display product information.

Problem Description

You are tasked with creating a ProductCard component in Vue.js using TypeScript. This component should display a product's image, name, description, and price. To improve code organization and reusability, you'll implement two local components within ProductCard: ProductImage and ProductDetails.

• ProductCard Component: This is the main component responsible for rendering the entire product card. It receives product data as a prop.
• ProductImage Component (Local): This component is responsible for displaying the product image. It receives the image URL as a prop.
• ProductDetails Component (Local): This component is responsible for displaying the product name, description, and price. It receives the name, description, and price as props.

Key Requirements:

• The ProductCard component must accept a product prop, which is an object with the following structure: { name: string, description: string, imageUrl: string, price: number }.
• The ProductImage component must display the image using an <img> tag.
• The ProductDetails component must display the product name, description, and price in a clear and readable format.
• All components must be written in TypeScript.
• The ProductCard component should register ProductImage and ProductDetails as local components.

Expected Behavior:

When the ProductCard component receives a product prop, it should render the product's image using the ProductImage component and display the product's name, description, and price using the ProductDetails component. The styling is not required for this challenge, focus on the component structure and data passing.

Edge Cases to Consider:

• What happens if the product prop is missing or invalid (e.g., missing name, description, or imageUrl)? While error handling isn't explicitly required, consider how your component might behave in such scenarios. A simple check for the existence of the properties is sufficient.

Examples

Example 1:

Input:
product = { name: "Awesome T-Shirt", description: "A comfortable and stylish t-shirt.", imageUrl: "https://example.com/tshirt.jpg", price: 25.99 }

Output: A product card displaying the image from "https://example.com/tshirt.jpg", the name "Awesome T-Shirt", the description "A comfortable and stylish t-shirt.", and the price 25.99. Explanation: The ProductCard component receives the product data and renders it using its local components.

Example 2:

Input:
product = { name: "Fancy Mug", description: "A beautiful ceramic mug.", imageUrl: "https://example.com/mug.png", price: 12.50 }

Output: A product card displaying the image from "https://example.com/mug.png", the name "Fancy Mug", the description "A beautiful ceramic mug.", and the price 12.50. Explanation: Similar to Example 1, the component renders the provided product data.

Constraints

• The solution must be written in TypeScript.
• The code must be well-formatted and readable.
• The solution should use Vue 3.
• No external libraries are allowed beyond Vue and TypeScript.
• Styling is not required. Focus on the component structure and data passing.

Notes

• Think about how to pass data from the parent ProductCard component to its local components.
• Local components are defined within the components option of a Vue component.
• Consider how you might handle cases where the product data is incomplete or missing. A simple check for property existence is sufficient.
• This challenge is designed to test your understanding of component composition and local component registration in Vue.js.
