How can I get a input required with vuejs

I have my chat and I dont want people to send empty message so I would like that my input become required. Thanks for your help.

I tried to put “required=’required'” in the input line, I also tried veeValidate but it broke my chat when I use it, I also tried to put “Required = true” in Props and data but without a good result

This is ChatForm.vue

<template>
    <div class="input-group" >
        <input id="btn-input" type="text" name="message"  class="form-control input-sm" placeholder="Ecrire..." v-model="newMessage" @keyup.enter="sendMessage">

        <span class="input-group-btn">
            <button class="btn btn-primary btn-sm"  id="btn-chat" @click="sendMessage">
                &#10003
            </button>
        </span>
    </div>
</template>

<script>


    export default {
        props: ['user'],

        data() {
            return {
                newMessage: '',
            }
        },

        methods: {
            sendMessage() {
                this.$emit('messagesent', {
                    user: this.user,
                    message: this.newMessage
                });

                setTimeout(function() {
                    const messages = document.getElementById('mess_cont');

                    messages.scrollTop = messages.scrollHeight;
                    }, 200);
                this.newMessage = '';

            }

        }
    }


</script>

And this is my form in the app.blade.php

  <div id="app" class="container-chat">

                    <div class="row">
                        <div class="col-md-12 col-md-offset-2">
                            <div class="col-md-12 col-md-offset-2">
                                <div class="panel-body panel-content" id="mess_cont">

                                    <chat-messages id="mess" :messages="messages" :currentuserid="{{Auth::user()->id}}"></chat-messages>
                                </div>
                                <div class="panel-footer">
                                    <chat-form
                                            v-on:messagesent="addMessage"
                                            :user="{{ Auth::user() }}"
                                    ></chat-form>
                                </div>
                            </div>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div>

Answer

Try to change your ChatForm.vue like this:

<template>
 <form @submit.prevent="sendMessage">   
   <div class="input-group" >
     <input id="btn-input" type="text" name="message"  class="form-control input-sm" placeholder="Ecrire..." v-model="newMessage" required>

     <span class="input-group-btn">
       <button class="btn btn-primary btn-sm" type="submit" id="btn-chat">
                &#10003
            </button>
        </span>
    </div>
</template>

You are not treating the input in the correct way, the input which is required needs to be inside a form and the required keyword will prevent the form submission if the input field is empty.
