Component template should contain exactly one root element.

Hi Guys ,

In this blog I will share information related to error : Component template should contain exactly one root element.

This error is related to template attribute .




Let us see the erroneous code .

template: `

<h1>My data </h1>

<table>

<th>

<td>

Stock Name

</td>

<td>

Market Capitalization

</td>

</th>

<tr v-for = "a in stocks">

<td >

{{a.name}}

</td>

<td>

{{a.mCap}}

</td>

</tr>

</table>

` ,

You can notice that the template attribute starts with an h1 tag and then has a table tag . But in vue js the component template should have only one root element , so you have to enclose the entire component in one tag . To fix this I have removed the h1 tag.

template: `

<table>

<th>

<td>

Stock Name

</td>

<td>

Market Capitalization

</td>

</th>

<tr v-for = "a in stocks">

<td >

{{a.name}}

</td>

<td>

{{a.mCap}}

</td>

</tr>

</table>

` ,

Hope this resolves the issue . Thanks !

- Component template should contain exactly one root element. If you are using v-if on multiple elements, use v-else-if to chain them instead.
