Dynamically add rows to form using Vue.JS

Question

I'm trying to make a dynamic form using Vue. User clicks the add button and another row appears for them to add data. The problem is, i initially set only 1 row at first but , when i put the v-for on the div, 3 extra rows started appearing. I'm confused as to why that happened? Plus, nothing happen when i click the add button. Thanks.

        </div>            
</div>
</div>

Script

    export default {
    data(){
      return{   
          users:{
              username:'',
              password:'',
              email:'',
              phone:''
          }
      }
    },
    methods:{
        addMoreData(index){
            this.users.push({ 
                username: '',
                password:'',
                email:'',
                phone:''
                });
        }

    },
    mounted() {
        console.log('Component mounted.')
    }
}

users is an ‘Object’, not an array - push is not ok in ‘addMoreData()’ — muka.gergely

Your data should be an array that contains objects as items. In your example, v-for directive iterate properties in one object.

data(){
      return{   
          users: [{
              username:'',
              password:'',
              email:'',
              phone:''
          }]
      }
    },

Or use vue-autoextra, and avoid having to add a button add something to a collection:

Vue.config.devtools = false
Vue.config.productionTip = false
const app = new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  data () {
    return {
      users: [
        { name: 'Alice', password: 'xyz' },
      ]
    }
  },
  components: {
    Autoextra
  }
})

@import "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bulma/0.7.5/css/bulma.css";
.last {
  opacity: .5;
}

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.6.10/vue.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/vue-autoextra.min.js"></script>

    <div class="container" id="app">
      <div class="columns">
        <div class="column">
          <autoextra :collection="users" v-slot="{item,last,index}">
            <div class="columns is-mobile" :class="{last: last}">
              <div class="field column">
                <div class="control">
                  <label class="label">{{last ? 'New ' : ''}}User {{!last ? index + 1 : ''}}</label>
                  <input class="input" type="text" v-model="item.name"/>
                </div>
              </div>
              <div class="field column">
                <label class="label">Password</label>
                <div class="control">
                  <input class="input" type="password" v-model="item.password"/>
                </div>
              </div>            
            </div>
          </autoextra> 
        </div>
        <div class="column">
          <pre>{{users}}</pre>
        </div>

      </div>
    </div>

<button class="btn btn-secondary float-right" title="Click to add row">
<span class="fa fa-plus-square" @click="addMoreData(index)" v-show="index == users.length-1"></span> &nbsp;Add More Data
</button>

Why did you put @click="addMoreData(index)" inside <span> element ? It doesn't make any sense ... and it certainly won't work! Are index and users variables accessible here ? They're not!
