How to Fix Vue Writable Computed

DodaTech Updated 2026-06-26 1 min read

The Problem

In this quick-fix, you will learn creating computed with both get and set. This matters because writable computed allows v-model on derived state. In real-world applications, this pattern appears in two-way bound computed values.

The Wrong Way

const fullName = computed(() => firstName.value + " " + lastName.value);
// Read-only computed
Incorrect implementation

The Right Way

const fullName = computed({
  get: () => `${firstName.value} ${lastName.value}`,
  set: (val) => {
    [firstName.value, lastName.value] = val.split(" ");
  }
});
Correct implementation with Composition API

Prevention

  • Always use the official API
  • Follow Vue best practices
  • Test your implementation
  • Document your patterns
