Use v-bind:class and v-bind:style to compute html classes and inline styles from component data. Vue.js will automatically add vendor prefixes when using v-bind:style.

[00:00] Here, we've got a list of inputs that are bound using V-model to our components data block. Let's create a dynamic class by using v-bind class, then create a ternary based on the result of size toggle. If true, return the string, "large," and if it's false, return an empty string.

[00:20] Let's add another class. We do that by turning v-bind class into an array. For the second [inaudible] in the array, let's create a key value pair. Vue will render this key if the value returns true. We can use v-bind disabled to bind the disable state of our button to a variable disabled.

[00:45] What if we wanted to bind to an entire block of inline styles? Let's add v-bind style and set that equal to styles. Styles will need to be a computed property in this case, so we'll create a computed block after data and add a styles method.

[01:00] That method will return a block of key value pairs. These keys and values will be displayed as inline styles in the Vue, so we need to use actual CSS properties. Now, we have a large rounded but disabled button with an orange background and white text that we can slide over to the left.
