Difference between v-model and v-bind on Vue.js?

From here
Remember:

<input v-model="something">

is essentially the same as:

<input
   v-bind:value="something"
   v-on:input="something = $event.target.value"
>

or (shorthand syntax):

<input
   :value="something"
   @input="something = $event.target.value"
>

So v-model is a two-way binding for form inputs. It combines v-bind, which brings a js value into the markup and v-on:input to update the js value. The js value must be present in your data, or in an inject.

Use v-model when you can. Use v-bind/v-on when you must 🙂 I hope your answer was accepted.

v-model works with all the basic HTML input types (text, textarea, number, radio, checkbox, select). You can use v-model with input type=date if your model stores dates as ISO strings (yyyy-mm-dd). If you want to use date objects in your model (a good idea as soon as you’re going to manipulate or format them), do this.

v-model has some extra smarts that it’s good to be aware of. If you’re using an IME ( lots of mobile keyboards, or Chinese/Japanese/Korean ), v-model will not update until a word is complete (a space is entered or the user leaves the field). v-input will fire much more frequently.

v-model also has modifiers .lazy, .trim, .number, covered in the doc.
