A Vue directive for occupying content places before the data has been loaded.

It's good for user experiment improving.

Using yarn or npm to install vue-occupy:

# yarn
yarn add vue-occupy

# npm
npm install vue-occupy

In your main.js file:

import VueOccupy from 'vue-occupy'

Vue.use(VueOccupy)

Now vue-occupy is a global Vue directive, you can use v-occupy in every .vue file.

For example:

<template>
  <div id="app" style="width:200px;height:50px;">
    <div v-occupy="{ data: content, config }"></div>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data () {
    return {
      content: '',
      config: {
        width: '200px',
        height: '18px',
        background: '#ddd'
      }
    }
  },
  mounted () {
    fetch(url).then((result) => {
      this.content = result
    })
  }
}
</script>

Before the fetch method has requested the result data, the div with v-occupy="{ data: content, config }" would be occupying by a rectangle color lump. Once the data was loaded, the attribute content would be updated and be rendered into the html.

Note: the default configuration of vue-occupy looks like below:

{
  width: 100%; 
  height: 100%; 
  background: #eee
}

And the note with v-occupy will be like this:

<div v-occupy="{ data: content, config }">
  <div style="width: 100%; height: 100%; background: #eee;></div>
</div>

Which means your must set the exactly width and height attribute in the note with v-occupy, or overwrite the default configuration by binding config attribute. What's more, attributes like marginTop or paddingRight are illegal, you should write in 'margin-top': '10px' or 'padding-right': '10px' instead.
