In summary, there is no direct equivalent of jQuery to Vue for what you are trying to achieve.
Based on your code, it seems like you are logging the this (the <a> element) as a jQuery object in your jQuery example.
The usage of e.target in your Vue example corresponds to simply using e in your jQuery click handler.
By wrapping e with $() in the test() function, you are giving the <a> element access to the features and methods of the jQuery API.
In Vue, there is no direct way to use the jQuery prototype, but you have options to include jQuery in your Vue app or utilize vanilla JavaScript on the e.target. A helpful resource for accomplishing tasks without jQuery is .
UPDATE: After understanding your clarification regarding the difference between jQuery and frameworks like Vue, React, and Angular, it's clear that there is a switch from imperative to declarative programming. This explanation further discusses this distinction.
To implement your desired functionality in a more Vue-friendly manner, consider creating a component for each "review" block to manage their "Read More/Read Less" states independently.
You could achieve the same outcome in a Vue application using plain JavaScript or by integrating jQuery and setting up your click listener within the mounted lifecycle hook. While not incorrect, this approach may not fully leverage Vue's declarative nature.
