In Vue.js, the v-on directive is used to listen to DOM events and run JavaScript code in response to those events. The v-on="..." syntax is a shorthand for binding an event listener to a method in the component's methods object.


For example, if you have a button in your template and you want to run a method named handleClick when the button is clicked, you can use the v-on directive like this:


Click me


In this example, the v-on directive is listening for the click event on the button element and then calling the handleClick method on the component when the event is triggered.


The shorthand v-on="..." syntax can also be used for binding multiple event listeners to multiple methods at once. For example:


In this example, the v-on directive is listening for both click and mouseover events on the div element and then calling the handleClick and handleMouseOver methods on the component respectively when the events are triggered.
