Template

The v-once directive is a Vue.js directive used to avoid unwanted re-renders of an element.
It optimizes the update performance by rendering the element and component only once.
Vue will treat the element/component and its children as static content on subsequent re-render.
<p v-once>This text will never change: {{ message }}</p>
If we put the v-once
directive on an element with children, these would also be treated as static content:
<section v-once> <h1>My Headline</h1> <p>{{ message }}</p></section>
Info
Since 3.2, you can also memoize part of the template with invalidation conditions using v-memo
.
