Vue, do I need the colon for all my functions?

Question

In the Vue documentation, the syntax myFunc: function(){...} is often used, for computed or methods. In these places, myFunc(){...} also works. Is there any difference? Is there any reason not to use the simpler syntax?

Answer 1

The both do the same thing. The difference is the shorter one is ES6 syntax which needs to be transpiled into ES5 in order to work in older browsers.
