Question

[Vue warn]: Avoid mutating a prop directly since the value will be overwritten whenever the parent component re-renders. Instead, use a data or computed property based on the prop's value. Prop being mutated: "selectedPost"

Answer 1

v-on:click="selectedPost = post" is the culprit; selectedPost is a prop here and you cannot assign to a prop.
There are two different solutions depending on what you want:
Make selectedPost a local data property instead of a prop. You can then modify selectedPost but since it is no longer a prop, you cannot accept selectedPost from the parent anymore (but you're not really doing that anyway).
data() {
return {
selectedPost: null
}
}
Instead of modifying selectedPost directly, you should emit an event which the parent can handle to update its data. The convention is to emit an event named like update:selectedPost which will make it work with the .sync modifier.
Change the click handler to:
#click="$emit('update:selectedPost', post)"
Then in the parent, update as follows:
<TableMenu
:posts="posts"
:selectedPost="selectedPost"
#update:selectedPost="selectedPost = $event"
></TableMenu>
Or you can use .sync to make the above a bit simpler (it does the same thing):
<TableMenu
:posts="posts"
:selectedPost.sync="selectedPost"
></TableMenu>
