Week 3 Graded Questions

Q1: Which of the following are examples of system level state that needs to be
maintained for the entire app?

A. User database of NPTEL


B. List of emails selected for archiving in Gmail
C. Google search index
D. User shopping cart content on [Link]

Ans: A and C

Explanation: User preference is frontend state, shopping cart is user specific application state.

Q2: Which of the following could be considered user specific application state?

A. User database of NPTEL


B. List of emails selected for archiving in Gmail
C. Google search index
D. User shopping cart content on [Link]

Ans: D

Explanation: User shopping cart content is specific to the user. So, it can be considered as user
specific application state.

Q3: When you view the online discourse forum, there is a line indicating “last visit” -
posts above this have been updated since the last time you visited the forum. What kind
of state information is this indicator conveying?

A. Ephemeral UI state
B. Application state
C. System state
D. None of the above

Ans: B
Explanation: Although this is temporary and changes each time the user loads the page, it still
needs to be stored at the server to keep it up to date.

Q4: Which of the following methods can be used to ensure that the displayed state and
system state are kept in sync at all times?

A. Ajax requests on each UI change


B. Periodic reloading of web-page
C. Vue bindings to update data reactively
D. Pure static pages with all updates rendered from server
Ans: A, D

Explanation: Vue bindings by themselves do not synchronize state, and reloading a page will
most likely cause loss of any ephemeral information.

Q5: The M in MVC stores ____.

A. Ephemeral UI state
B. Application state
C. System state
D. None of the above

Ans: C

Explanation: The main idea of persistent storage is that you can reconstruct system state from
the stored data

Q6. Consider the following Vue application with markup [Link] and JavaScript file
[Link],

[Link]:

<div id="app">{{newMessage}}</div>

[Link]:

const dataObj = {
message: 'Welcome',
}

const optObject = {
el: '#app',
data: dataObj,
}

const app = new Vue(optObject)


[Link] = 'Welcome to iitm online degree'

What will be rendered by the browser?

A. Welcome
B. Welcome to iitm online degree
C. App with give a warning and will show a blank page.
D. None of the above

Answer: C

Explanation: properties in data are only reactive when they are present when instance was
created and “newMessage” is not present in data object it was assigned after the instance was
created so, app will not be able to identify the property.

Q7. Consider the following Vue application with markup [Link] and JavaScript file
[Link],
[Link]:

<div id="app">{{count+' second remaining'}}</div>

[Link]:

const dataObj = {
count: 10000,
}

const optObject = {
el: '#app',
data: dataObj,
}
const app = new Vue(optObject)

setInterval(() => {
[Link] -= 1
}, 1000)

What will be rendered by the browser after 1 minutes?

A. 10000
B. 9999
C. 9940
D. None of the above

Answer: C

Explanation: After each 1 second callback function of setInterval will reduce the count property
of data object by 1 so after 1 minute it well be reduced by 60 so, answer is 9940.

Q8. Consider the following Vue application with markup [Link] and JavaScript file
[Link],

[Link]:

<div id="app" style="color: white"


v-bind:style="divStyle">{{message}}</div>

[Link]:

const dataObj = {
message: 'IITM online',
divStyle: {
backgroundColor: 'red',
padding: '20px',
fontSize: '2em',
},
}

const optObject = {
el: '#app',
data: dataObj,
}

const app = new Vue(optObject)

What will be the color, background color and font-size of the div with ID “app”?

A. White, red, 2em


B. Black, white, 1em
C. white, white, 1 em
D. Black, red, 2em

Answer: A

Explanation: v-bind will bind the style property of div element with divStyle property of data
object, and it already has color white assigned so, option A is correct.

Q9. Consider the following Vue application with markup [Link] and JavaScript file
[Link],

[Link]:

<div id="app" v-bind:style="{fontSize:fontSize+'em'}">


<p>{{message}}</p>
<button v-on:click="zoom">click me</button>
</div>

[Link]:

const dataObj = {
message: 'IITM online',
fontSize: 2,
}

const optObject = {
el: '#app',
data: dataObj,
methods: objMethods,
}
const app = new Vue(optObject)

If the font size of the text ‘IITM Online’ increases by 1 em each time the user clicks on the
button, which one of the following is the definition of objMethod?

A. const objMethods = {
zoom() {
[Link] += 1em
},
}

B. const objMethods = {
zoom() {
fontSize += 1
},
}

C. const objMethods = {
zoom() {
[Link] += 1
},
}

D. const objMethods = {
zoom() {
fontSize += 1em
},
}

Answer: C

Explanation: Each time user clicks on the button, zoom method will be triggered, and style
property is bind with the object {fontSize:fontSize+'em'} so, in order to change the font size we
zoom need to change the fontSize property of data object. So, Option C is correct.
Q10. Consider the following Vue application with markup [Link] and JavaScript file
[Link],

[Link]:

<div id="app">
<p directive1>{{message}}</p>
<button directive2>click</button>
</div>

[Link]:

const app = new Vue({


el: '#app',
data: {
message: 'Hello',
seen: true,
},
methods: {
toggleSeen() {
[Link] = ![Link]
},
},
})

If you want to toggle between the presence of p element on click of the button element, what are
the possible value of directive1 and directive2 and their respective values?

A. v-if=”seen”, v-on:click=”toggleSeen”
B. v-if:”seen”, v-on:click:”toggleSeen”
C. v-if=”seen”, @click=”toggleSeen”
D. v-if:”seen”, @:click:”toggleSeen”

Answer: A and C

Explanation: v-on will bind the click event to the method “toggleSeen” which will change the
value of seen property according to the previous set property. And v-if will control the display of
p element based on truth value of seen property. And @ is shorthand for v-on. So, A and C are
correct.

Vue.js uses v-bind to dynamically bind HTML attributes, including style, to data properties. A style object can be created within the data object and bound to an element's style attribute using v-bind:style. This allows for dynamic updates to styles based on application state changes. Additionally, inline styles can be dynamically adjusted by binding style attributes to expressions, such as fontSize+'em', reflecting changes in the UI immediately .

The choice between asynchronous and synchronous UI change methods profoundly affects performance and user experience in web applications. Asynchronous methods, like Ajax requests, allow UI elements to update independently of each other and the server's processing cycle, resulting in smoother, more responsive interfaces. Synchronous methods can lead to performance bottlenecks where the UI freezes while waiting for tasks to complete, negatively affecting usability. The choice impacts how scalable and user-friendly an application is, the latter being more susceptible to latency issues and reduced responsiveness .

System-level state refers to information that the entire application needs to maintain, such as the user database in NPTEL or the Google search index. These are persistent, non-user-specific states that ensure the application functions correctly on a broader scale. In contrast, user-specific application state is information tailored to individual users, such as the content of a user's shopping cart on Amazon.in. It changes based on user interactions and is often stored temporarily on the client side or per session .

Improper use of reactivity in Vue.js can lead to inconsistent application behavior. If a variable is manipulated outside of its initial data object setup, it may not trigger updates in the UI. For example, clicking events that change non-reactive data can result in the application not updating as expected. Such misuse can make debugging difficult and lead to performance issues, as non-reactive properties are updated in the UI only manually or through workarounds, violating the principles of reactive programming .

Reactive bindings in frameworks like Vue.js provide automatic updates to the UI when the underlying data changes, creating a seamless and efficient data-to-view synchronization which reduces the boilerplate code and the potential of human errors. However, they can also introduce a steep learning curve and require developers to understand the concept of reactive programming deeply. Manual DOM manipulation offers control and understanding of each DOM update, but it can lead to inefficiencies, increased code complexity, and more errors, especially as the application scales .

In Vue.js, conditional rendering can be managed using the v-if directive, which evaluates a condition to determine whether an element is rendered. This can be controlled by binding v-if to a reactive data property. User interactions are captured through event-binding directives like v-on, which trigger methods changing the data's state. Changes in state affect the evaluation of v-if conditions, thus dynamically rendering or hiding elements based on user actions .

Vue.js data bindings allow dynamic updates to HTML content by binding elements to reactive data properties. In Vue, template syntax uses {{}} for text binding and v-bind for attribute binding. For instance, binding a div's text content and style to reactive properties ensures that updates to the property automatically reflect in the DOM. This creates interactive interfaces where visualizations adjust to underlying data changes, maintaining UI consistency without additional DOM manipulation .

Periodic updates, such as Ajax requests on each UI change, help maintain synchronization by continuously fetching the latest state from the server and updating the UI. Event bindings, such as v-on in Vue.js, allow the UI to react to user interactions in real-time by binding elements directly to methods that update the application state. These methods ensure that even ephemeral UI changes are reflected in the system state, maintaining a consistent user experience .

In Vue.js, properties in the data object are reactive only if they are present when the Vue instance is created. If new properties are added after the instance's initialization, they will not be reactive. For instance, if 'newMessage' is added to the data object after the Vue instance is created, it won't trigger any updates or reactivity, leading to potential warnings or blanks in the rendered output .

Failure to maintain synchronicity between UIs and backend systems can severely impact user experience and data integrity. Users may encounter stale data, inconsistent content display, or interactions based on outdated information. This results in confusion, decreased trust, and possibly incorrect operations based on obsolete states. For system state-backed applications like e-commerce or community forums, these discrepancies can lead to frustrated users due to incorrect order processing or missed discussions .
