Vue.js data-bind style backgroundImage not working

The issue is that the value for backgroundImage needs to be a string like this:

<div class="circular" v-bind:style="{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + image + ')' }"></div>

Here's a simplified fiddle that's working: https://jsfiddle.net/89af0se9/1/

Re: the comment below about kebab-case, this is how you can do that:

<div class="circular" v-bind:style="{ 'background-image': 'url(' + image + ')' }"></div>

In other words, the value for v-bind:style is just a plain Javascript object and follows the same rules.

UPDATE: One other note about why you may have trouble getting this to work.

You should make sure your image value is quoted so that the end resulting string is:

url('some/url/path/to/image.jpeg')

Otherwise, if your image URL has special characters in it (such as whitespace or parentheses) the browser may not apply it properly. In Javascript, the assignment would look like:

this.image = "'some/url/path/to/image.jpeg'"

or

this.image = "'" + myUrl + "'"

Technically, this could be done in the template, but the escaping required to keep it valid HTML isn't worth it.

More info here: Is quoting the value of url() really necessary?

<div :style="{'background-image': 'url(' + require('./assets/media/img.jpg') + ')'}"></div>

Another solution:

<template>  <div :style="cssProps"></div></template><script>  export default {    data() {      return {        cssProps: {          backgroundImage: `url(${require('@/assets/path/to/your/img.jpg')})`        }      }    }  }</script>

What makes this solution more convenient?Firstly, it's cleaner. And then, if you're using Vue CLI (I assume you do), you can load it with webpack.

Note: don't forget that require() is always relative to the current file's path.
