Add documentation for $createElement() to the API docs

[sqal]

I don't see anywhere vm.$createElement being mentioned in the docs It's not a private function, right? judging from this comment

[LinusBorg]

Hm ... It's not a private function really, no.

It probably slipped through because the only real use for it is in the render function, to which it is passed as the argument anyway:

https://vuejs.org/v2/api/#render

But it might be worth documenting.

Agree, but sometimes render logic can be very complex so it's useful to move some of the code to the custom method function. Then you have 2 choices, a) pass the createElement from the render down to the method or b) just use this.$createElement

Some third party plugins are using this API : see element-ui

It seems vuetify is also one of them: https://github.com/vuetifyjs/vuetify/blob/dev/src/components/VDataTable/mixins/body.js#L9

It would be great to document it - just found out about it on accident. Very useful helper for JS based components

[AlbertMarashi]

Why hasn't this been documented yet?

I searching why Vuetify use "this.$createElement" without jsx babel, and now finding the why!
 
The documentation is missing this attribute. u.u
