# vue/no-root-v-if

> disallow `v-if` directives on root element

This rule reports template roots with `v-if`. Rendering of the whole component could be made conditional in the parent component (with a `v-if` there) instead.

## :book: Rule Details

This rule reports the template root in the following cases:

<eslint-code-block :rules="{'vue/no-root-v-if': ['error']}">

```vue
<template>
  <div v-if="foo"></div>
</template>
```

</eslint-code-block>

## :wrench: Options
