3.7.4.2
Dice

This example application simulates a dice. It contains a button with an event listener for the click event. Event listeners in Vue.js can be attached to elements using the @-prefix. In this case the rollDice method is called when the user clicks the button.

???

The rollDice method is generating a random number (Math.random()), scales it to the range from 0 up to 6 exclusively (* 6), converts it to a whole number (Math.floor()) and adds one, so the result is in the range from 1 to 6 inclusively.

The number is assigned to the result property which is in turn displayed on the page.
