How to add a class conditionally in Vue?

I have a project that I'm converting to Vue, and I was wondering how I can conditionally add a class to certain elements depending on what is returned from the database and rendered with Vue. Here is the code I had for the application when I was not using Vue:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('.task_element').each(function(index, element) {
    if ($(element).find(".task_priority").text().trim() === "high") {
      $(element).addClass('high');
    } else if ($(element).find(".task_priority").text().trim() === "medium") {
      $(element).addClass('medium');
    } else if ($(element).find(".task_priority").text().trim() === "low") {
      $(element).addClass('low');
    }
  });
});

And this worked fine. But, I'm wondering is there a way to do this with Vue much more easily? Or would I have to find a way to throw this into my Vue app?

Here is part of the component:

<p class="task_description">
  {{ task.description }} <span class="badge badge-pill">priority</span>
</p>
<p class="task_priority">
  {{ task.priority }}
</p>

What I want to do is bind the style of the badge (add one of the classes, either high, medium, or low) based on the value of the task_priority element. How would I achieve this?

With Vue class binding, you can do this right inline on the element and actually add an additional Vue computed class to your already defined class list.

for example:

<div class="task_priority" :class="task.priority">{{ task.priority }}</div>

And do your styling as such (assuming the output for the task.priority is high,medium,low. it looks like it would be according to your posted code)

.task_priority.high {color: red}
.task_priority.medium {color: yellow}
.task_priority.low {color: green}

You can try this code above for conditional class in the html template

<element v-bind:class = "(condition)?'class_if_is_true':'else_class'"></element>

You may see the official vue documentation on this topic here.

If you only need to add a class if condition is true, you can use:

<p v-bind:class="{ 'className' : priority === low}"></p>

or you can use shorthand notation by omitting v-bind

<p :class="{ 'className' : priority === low}"></p>

This way you don't have to care if condition turned out to be false.

You can try creating function and pass condition compare value to it

<span bind:class="BindOrderStatus(order.status)">{{order.status}}</span>

and write function like

 methods: {
    BindOrderStatus: function (status){
        if(status === "received")
        {
            return "badge badge-pill badge-primary pending-badge";
        }else if(status === "accepted" || status === "auto-accepted"){
            return "badge badge-pill badge-primary in-progress-badge"
        }.......etc conditions

}

this may be help you for complex conditions.
