Vue Macro Task: Dynamic Component Rendering
This challenge focuses on implementing a "macro task" system within a Vue 3 application using TypeScript. You'll create a flexible component that can dynamically render a list of other components based on a configuration, allowing for complex UIs to be built compositionally.
Problem Description
Your task is to build a MacroTaskRenderer Vue component that accepts a configuration object and dynamically renders a series of child components. This is useful for creating flexible dashboards, forms, or any UI where the structure needs to be defined programmatically or changed at runtime.
Key Requirements:
- The
MacroTaskRenderercomponent should accept a prop namedtaskConfigwhich is an array of objects. - Each object in the
taskConfigarray should define a component to be rendered and its associated props. - The
MacroTaskRenderershould iterate through thetaskConfigand render the specified components. - Components should be registered globally or locally with the
MacroTaskRenderer. For simplicity, assume components are globally registered for this challenge. - Props defined in the
taskConfigobject should be correctly passed to their respective child components.
Expected Behavior:
When MacroTaskRenderer receives a taskConfig, it should render each item in the array as a distinct Vue component. The componentName property from the taskConfig item will determine which registered component to render, and the props object will be passed down to that component.
Edge Cases:
- What happens if a
componentNameintaskConfigdoes not correspond to a registered component? - What happens if
taskConfigis an empty array? - What happens if a
propsobject is missing or invalid?
Examples
Example 1:
// Assume the following components are globally registered:
// HelloWorld: <template>{{ msg }}</template><script setup lang="ts">defineProps<{ msg: string }>()</script>
// AnotherComponent: <template><div>Static Content</div></template>
Input `taskConfig`:
[
{
componentName: 'HelloWorld',
props: { msg: 'Hello from MacroTaskRenderer!' }
},
{
componentName: 'AnotherComponent',
props: {}
}
]
Output:
The rendered output will contain:
1. A `HelloWorld` component displaying "Hello from MacroTaskRenderer!".
2. An `AnotherComponent` displaying "Static Content".
Example 2:
Input `taskConfig`:
[
{
componentName: 'HelloWorld',
props: { msg: 'Another Message' }
}
]
Output:
The rendered output will contain:
1. A `HelloWorld` component displaying "Another Message".
Example 3 (Edge Case):
Input `taskConfig`:
[
{
componentName: 'NonExistentComponent', // This component is not registered
props: {}
},
{
componentName: 'HelloWorld',
props: { msg: 'This should still render' }
}
]
Output:
The rendered output will contain:
1. An error message or a placeholder indicating that 'NonExistentComponent' could not be rendered.
2. A `HelloWorld` component displaying "This should still render".
Constraints
- The
taskConfigprop will always be an array of objects. - Each object in
taskConfigwill have at least acomponentNameproperty (string). - The
propsproperty within eachtaskConfigobject, if present, will be an object. - Performance is not a primary concern for this challenge, but avoid excessively inefficient rendering loops.
Notes
- Consider using Vue's built-in
<component :is="componentName">feature for dynamic component rendering. - How will you handle situations where a component name is not found? Displaying an error or a placeholder is a good approach.
- Think about how to pass props correctly. The spread operator (
...) can be very useful here. - For this challenge, assume all components are registered globally or are available in the scope of the
MacroTaskRenderer. You do not need to implement a dynamic component registration system.
