[Vue] Use Vue.js Component Computed Properties

You can add computed properties to a component to calculate a property on the fly. The benefit of this over invoking a method is that computed properties are cached based on their dependencies.

<template>

    <section class="container">
        <item-description></item-description>
        <h1 class="title">
            {{message | capitalize}}
        </h1>
        <button @click="changeMessage" class="button">Change Message</button>
        <hr>
        <section>
            <h2>Mouse event</h2>
            <div>{{counter}}</div>
            <div @mouseover="inc">Mouse over here to change counter</div>
        </section>
        <section>
            <h2>Keyboard events</h2>
            <form @submit.prevent="submit">
                <input type="text"
                       v-model="firstName"
                       @keyup.enter="submit"
                       @keyup.alt.ctrl.shift.down="keyeventHandler"/>
                <button v-bind:disabled="buttonDisabled">{{buttonText}}</button>
            </form>
            <div>
                {{key}}
