Vuejs component propeties can be protected instead of private

[antonioortizpola]

Overview of the feature request

While I was working on my post with JHipster + VueJS side by side, I realized that the VueJS generator does not generate the components with protected properties.

This was also true for some time for Angular, but after some discussion it was merged

jhipster/generator-jhipster#8839

I open this issue to know if there is a particular reason to keep the fields private, or if we can try to change it, at least for the entities.

Motivation for or Use Case

The same reasons behind the change in Angular

For me that sound like a reasonable change helping doing side-by-side approach and customizing the frontend. @deepu105 This also sounds like a good hacktoberfest candidate

Hi @antonioortizpola, I'm not against the idea but it seems that fields are generated as public and not as private. Can you give some example where you would like any change like this?

BTW, for me, that's not a big issue that fields are public in Vue.js components because they are not used in other components, as opposed to utility classes for instance. And exposing them are easier to unit test the class (without creating any getter/setter).

Sorry, I have been busy because of work and a small accident, I will check tonight with the plugin updated to the last version

@hdurix The properties inside the update components for example, it could made easier to make JHipster side by side, for example, in a VehicleColorUpdate.ts component:

  @Inject('alertService') private alertService: () => AlertService;
  @Inject('vehicleColorService') private vehicleColorService: () => VehicleColorService;

And almost all injections could be protected instead of private.
