toRef

Normalize value/ref/getter to ref or computed.

Usage

ts
import { toRef } from '@vueuse/core'

const foo = ref('hi')

const a = toRef(0) // Ref<number>
const b = toRef(foo) // Ref<string>
const c = toRef(() => 'hi') // ComputedRef<string>

Differences from Vue's toRef

VueUse's toRef is not the same as Vue’s toRef from the vue package.

VueUse toRef

  • Accepts value, ref, or getter
  • Returns:
    • a ref for primitive values
    • a ref for existing refs
    • a computed for getter functions
  • Does not accept object + key
  • Getters always produce readonly computed values

Vue toRef

  • Accepts only:
    • a reactive object + property key, or
    • an existing ref
  • Produces a writable ref linked to the underlying reactive object
  • Does not accept primitive values
  • Does not accept getter functions
