Hello everyone, welcome to the Directix tutorial series. Today let's discover a powerful Vue directive library.

Chapter 1: What is Directix? (0:15-1:15)

Visual: Directix homepage

Directix is a comprehensive, easy-to-use Vue custom directive library. Its biggest feature is supporting both Vue 2 and Vue 3.

Visual: Feature list animation

Core features:

1. 57+ Common Directives - Covering events, forms, visibility, scroll, etc.
2. Vue 2/3 Compatible - One codebase, both versions work
3. Tree-shakable - Import only what you need
4. TypeScript Support - Complete type definitions
5. 57 Composables - Each directive has a corresponding composable

Simply put, Directix lets you handle DOM operations declaratively, no complex logic needed.

Chapter 2: Core Features (1:15-3:15)

Visual: Split screen Vue 2 vs Vue 3

First, compatibility. Whether your project is Vue 2 or Vue 3, Directix works seamlessly. Great for migrating projects.

Second, Tree-shaking. You only import directives you use, unused code won't be bundled.

Visual: TypeScript hints

Third, TypeScript support. All directives have complete type definitions, IDE gives smart hints.

Finally, Composables. Each directive has a corresponding useXxx function for Composition API.

Chapter 3: Quick Demo (3:15-6:15)

Visual: VS Code

Let's see some real examples.

Example 1: v-copy - One-click Copy

<template>
  <!-- Click to copy text to clipboard -->
  <button v-copy="textToCopy">Copy Text</button>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'

const textToCopy = ref('Hello Directix!')
</script>

Just one line to implement copy functionality.

Example 2: v-debounce - Debounced Input

<template>
  <!-- Input debounce, triggers after 500ms -->
  <input v-debounce:500ms="handleSearch" placeholder="Search..." />
</template>

<script setup>
const handleSearch = (value) => {
  console.log('Search:', value)
  // Execute search request
}
</script>

Triggers after user stops typing for 500ms, avoiding frequent requests.

Example 3: v-click-outside - Click Outside to Close

<template>
  <div>
    <button @click="show = !show">Toggle</button>
    <div v-if="show" v-click-outside="closeMenu" class="dropdown">
      Menu content
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'

const show = ref(false)

const closeMenu = () => {
  show.value = false
}
</script>

Auto-close when clicking outside, standard pattern for dropdowns.

Example 4: v-lazy - Image Lazy Loading

<template>
  <!-- Load image when it enters viewport -->
  <img v-lazy="imageUrl" alt="Lazy loaded image" />
</template>

Image loads only when scrolled into viewport, improving performance.

Chapter 4: Learning Path (6:15-8:00)

Visual: Learning roadmap

How to proceed? I suggest this order:

1. Getting Started Series - Master installation and common directives
2. Advanced Series - Learn Composables, performance optimization, debugging
3. Practical Series - Solidify knowledge through real projects

Visual: Documentation site

Directix official docs are comprehensive, with Chinese, English, and Japanese support. Each directive has detailed API docs and examples.

Visual: Playground

There's also an online Playground to try all directives directly.
