Vue js error: Component template should contain exactly one root element

Question

I don\'t know what the error is, so far I am testing through console log to check for changes after selecting a file (for uploading).

When I run $ npm run watc

if, for any reasons, you don't want to add a wrapper (in my first case it was for components), you can use a functionnal component.

Instead of having a single components/MyCompo.vue you will have few files in a components/MyCompo folder :

• components/MyCompo/index.js
• components/MyCompo/File.vue
• components/MyCompo/Avatar.vue

With this structure, the way you call your component won't change.

components/MyCompo/index.js file content :

import File from './File';
import Avatar from './Avatar';   

const commonSort=(a,b)=>b-a;

export default {
  functional: true,
  name: 'MyCompo',
  props: [ 'someProp', 'plopProp' ],
  render(createElement, context) {
    return [
        createElement( File, { props: Object.assign({light: true, sort: commonSort},context.props) } ),
        createElement( Avatar, { props: Object.assign({light: false, sort: commonSort},context.props) } )
    ]; 
  }
};

And if you have some function or data used in both templates, passed them as properties and that's it !

I let you imagine building list of components and so much features with this pattern.
