🔥 Vue Tip: Cache Component Instances With the KeepAlive Component
KeepAliveKeepAlive is a built-in Vue component that allows you to conditionally cache component instances when dynamically switching between multiple components.
Let's take a look at a simple example to understand how KeepAliveKeepAlive works. We have two components, ComponentAComponentA and ComponentBComponentB, and we want to cache the instances of these components when switching between them.
1<script setup>2import { shallowRef } from 'vue';3import ComponentA from './components/ComponentA.vue';4import ComponentB from './components/ComponentB.vue';56const current = shallowRef(ComponentA);7</script>89<template>10 <div>11 <label12 ><input type="radio" v-model="current" :value="ComponentA" /> A</label13 >14 <label15 ><input type="radio" v-model="current" :value="ComponentB" /> B</label16 >17 </div>18 <component :is="current"></component>19</template>
If you switch between the components using the radio buttons, you will notice that the component instances are destroyed and recreated every time you switch between them. Thus, the state of each component is lost.
If you want to cache the instances of the components, you can wrap the componentscomponents element with the KeepAliveKeepAlive component.

Saturday, January 10, 2026 Bob Weir is gone . # Today's song: Playing in the Band . # What's happening with ICE is like January 6 four years later with billions of dollars behind it and many months of planning and studying history for prior art. # As I listened to the mayor of Minneapolis speak I thought he was going say "get the fuck out of Minneapolis" but of course he couldn't say that and then he said it. # I'm doing little demos of stuff I'm working on in WordLand, here's a narrated demo that shows how instant updates are going. As often the recording level is too low, so turn up the volume if you want to hear the comments. A productive Saturday session. # John Johnston , a longtime friend of UserLand and my newer products, asks how WordLand connects with FeedLand. Two ways. 1. FeedLand has an API, still working on it, but it will be public. 2. FeedLand has an outbound websockets interface , which is already public,...
Thursday, August 28, 2025 Think Different about WordPress # Steve Jobs asked you to think differently about computers. # I'm going to ask you to think differently about WordPress. # I'm not going to make you wait to hear what it is. I want you to see WordPress as comparable to Bluesky or Mastodon. # I've done this before -- asked people to think differently about things, like public writing, with blogging. In the 90s I was running around the Vallley trying to explain to everyone that blogging was going to change everything, all I got was blank stares from people who said "we don't do that." They of course eventually did do it. But at first the ideas seemed foreign, unreasonable. # I did it with RSS and podcasting. We needed to seed these things, get the ideas in front of people with actual products, with real utility for users. And eventually they came around. # Now I'm going to ask you to think differ...
