Requirements

• The application requires the Vue.js library (version 2) for reactive components.
• Font Awesome (version 6.5.1) is used for icons.
• The application assumes the existence of a server that provides JSON data for channels.

Initialization

The init function initializes the application by adding necessary styles, external scripts (Vue.js and Font Awesome), and event listeners.

function init() {
  // ... (See the original code for style, link, and script additions)
  window.addEventListener("scroll", handleScroll);
}

Event Handling

The handleScroll function is called when the user scrolls. It initializes a Vue component (continent-component) and a Vue instance (app) for handling the continent, country, and channel selection.

function handleScroll() {
  // ... (See the original code for Vue component and instance creation)
  window.removeEventListener("scroll", handleScroll);
}

Vue Components

Continent Component

The continent-component Vue component provides a user interface for selecting continents, countries, and channels. It includes methods for updating the selected continent, selected country, and fetching channels for the selected country.

Vue Instance

The Vue instance (app) is created to mount the continent-component and pass initial data (continents and countries) as props.

Styles

The styles for the application are embedded within the style variable in the init function. The styles define the layout, appearance, and behavior of the UI elements, including continent and country lists, search bars, and channel categories.

External Dependencies

• Vue.js (version 2): A JavaScript framework for building user interfaces.
• Font Awesome (version 6.5.1): A font and icon toolkit.

Usage

1. Include the channels.js script in your HTML file.
2. Add a div with app id to your HTML file.

Conclusion

The Vue Country and Channel Selector offers a simple and dynamic way for users to explore channels based on their geographic preferences. It demonstrates the use of Vue.js for building interactive components and Font Awesome for enhancing the user interface. The application can be customized and extended to support additional features and data sources.
