Using Vue.js to Format 'url' Fields from Airtable

I’m reaching out again with another inquiry about how to properly format data retrieved from Airtable using Vue.js. I’m following the instructions provided to insert some Airtable data into a simple HTML layout for styling purposes. However, I am encountering a challenge: what is the correct approach to format the data as a hyperlink? I have a feeling my current method may not be effective. Below is a modified version of my HTML and JavaScript code dealing with this issue.

HTML Code Example:

<div id="app">
    <ul>
        <li v-for="entry in entries">
            <h3>{{ entry['fields']['UserName'] }}</h3>
            <a :href="entry['fields']['Website']['url']" v-if="entry['fields']['Website']">
                <p>Display: {{ entry['fields']['Description'] }}</p>
            </a>
            <p>
                <strong>Website: </strong>
                {{ entry['fields']['Website'] }}
            </p>                
        </li>
    </ul>            
</div>

JavaScript Code Example:

var instance = new Vue({
  el: "#app",
  data: {
    entries: []
  },
  mounted: function() {
    this.fetchEntries();
  },
  methods: {
    fetchEntries: function() {
      var that = this;
      var airtableId = "---";
      var airtableKey = "---";
      this.entries = [];
      axios
        .get(
          "https://api.airtable.com/v0/" + airtableId + "/People?view=Grid%20View",
          {
            headers: { Authorization: "Bearer " + airtableKey }
          }
        )
        .then(function(result) {
          that.entries = result.data.records;
        })
        .catch(function(err) {
          console.error(err);
        });
    }
  }
});

When working with data from Airtable in Vue.js, ensuring the proper formatting can sometimes be tricky due to the data structure. One thing to check is the format of the ‘Website’ field in Airtable. If it’s a URL field, it should ideally return an object with a ‘url’ key. In your HTML binding, make sure to utilize this ‘url’ key, so instead of directly using {{ entry['fields']['Website'] }}, use {{ entry['fields']['Website']['url'] }} to guarantee you’re mapping the hyperlink correctly in the template. Also confirm that your Axios request is configured properly to access Airtable’s API, ensuring the correct response is returned for your manipulation. Sometimes, even refreshing the API permissions or regenerating an API key can solve inexplicable issues if any access problems persist. These small tweaks can often resolve scripting hurdles when dealing with dynamic data in Vue.js.

i think you’re almost there! just ensure “entry[‘fields’][‘Website’]” isn’t undefined or null before you try to access “url” on it. also confirm that v-if="entry['fields']['Website']" actually points to a defined object, otherwise the href will break. simple stuff but easy to miss!
