## Getting the previous value {#previous}

- Only supported in 3.4+

In case you need it, you can get the previous value returned by the computed property accessing
the first argument of the getter:

<div class="options-api">

```js
export default {
data() {
return {
count: 2
}
},
computed: {
// This computed will return the value of count when it's less or equal to 3.
// When count is >=4, the last value that fulfilled our condition will be returned
// instead until count is less or equal to 3
alwaysSmall(previous) {
if (this.count <= 3) {
return this.count;
}

return previous;
}
}
}
```
</div>

<div class="composition-api">

```vue
<script setup>
import { ref, computed } from 'vue'

const count = ref(2)

// This computed will return the value of count when it's less or equal to 3.
// When count is >=4, the last value that fulfilled our condition will be returned
// instead until count is less or equal to 3
const alwaysSmall = computed((previous) => {
if (count.value <= 3) {
return count.value;
}

return previous;
})
</script>
```
</div>

In case you're using a writable computed:

<div class="options-api">

```js
export default {
data() {
return {
count: 2
}
},
computed: {
alwaysSmall: {
get(previous) {
if (this.count <= 3) {
return this.count;
}

return previous;
},
set(newValue) {
this.count = newValue * 2;
}
}
}
}
```

</div>
<div class="composition-api">

```vue
<script setup>
import { ref, computed } from 'vue'

const count = ref(2)

const alwaysSmall = computed({
get(previous) {
if (count.value <= 3) {
return count.value;
}

return previous;
},
set(newValue) {
count.value = newValue * 2;
}
})
</script>
```

</div>
