BREAKING CHANGE: custom directive bindings no longer expose instance
This is a rarely used property that creates extra complexity in
ensuring it points to the correct instance. From a design
perspective, a custom directive should be scoped to the element and
data it is bound to and should not have access to the entire
instance in the first place.
BREAKING CHANGE: replae `watch(fn, options?)` with `watchEffect`
The `watch(fn, options?)` signature has been replaced by the new
`watchEffect` API, which has the same usage and behavior. `watch`
now only supports the `watch(source, cb, options?)` signautre.
BREAKING CHANGE: `watch` behavior has been adjusted.
- When using the `watch(source, callback, options?)` signature, the
callback now fires lazily by default (consistent with 2.x
behavior).
Note that the `watch(effect, options?)` signature is still eager,
since it must invoke the `effect` immediately to collect
dependencies.
- The `lazy` option has been replaced by the opposite `immediate`
option, which defaults to `false`. (It's ignored when using the
effect signature)
- Due to the above changes, the `watch` option in Options API now
behaves exactly the same as 2.x.
- When using the effect signature or `{ immediate: true }`, the
intital execution is now performed synchronously instead of
deferred until the component is mounted. This is necessary for
certain use cases to work properly with `async setup()` and
Suspense.
The side effect of this is the immediate watcher invocation will
no longer have access to the mounted DOM. However, the watcher can
be initiated inside `onMounted` to retain previous behavior.
BREAKING CHANGE: `createApp` API has been adjusted.
- `createApp()` now accepts the root component, and optionally a props
object to pass to the root component.
- `app.mount()` now accepts a single argument (the root container)
- `app.unmount()` no longer requires arguments.
New behavior looks like the following:
``` js
const app = createApp(RootComponent)
app.mount('#app')
app.unmount()
```
