Vue: Toggle Button with Data from Child to Parent - vue.js

Question

I have a parent component that has numerous containers. Each container has an image and some buttons.
I have over simplified the parent and child components below. When a button is clicked that is within the child component, I would like to toggle the class on an element that is in the parent container. I would like to effect each image individually, not globally. How do I do this?
parent:
<template>
<div>
<div :class="{ active: mock }">
<img src="/path">
</div>
<toggleButtons/>
</div>
<div>
<div :class="{ active: mock }">
<img src="/path">
</div>
<toggleButtons/>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import toggleButtons from './toggleButtons'
export default {
name: "parent",
components: {
toggleButtons
}
};
</script>
child:
<template>
<div class="switch-type">
<a #click="mock = false">Proto</a>
<a #click="mock = true">Mock</a>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: "toggleButtons",
data() {
return {
mock: false
}
}
};
</script>

Oversimplified example of how you can pass data from child to parent:
Child:
<a #click="$emit('mockUpdated', false)">Proto</a>
<a #click="$emit('mockUpdated', true)">Mock</a>
Parent (template):
<toggleButtons #mockUpdated="doSomething" />
Parent(methods):
doSomething(value) {
// value will be equal to the second argument you provided to $emit in child
}
EDIT: (toggling the class for each individual container):
I would probably create a new component for the container (container.vue), pass a path as a prop :
<template>
<div>
<div :class="{ active: mock }">
<img :src="path">
</div>
<toggleButtons #mockUpdated="doSomething" />
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
props: {
path: String,
},
data() {
return {
mock: false
}
},
methods: {
doSomething(value) {
this.mock = value;
}
}
}
</script>
and then in Parent.vue, you can import the container component and use it like:
<template>
<Container path="/path-to-file.jpg" />
<Container path="/path-to-file.jpg" />
</template>

There is nothing to do with slots in your case. You need "emit event" to parent from button, and pass mock data to update img states. Slot is a very different thing. There are multiple ways to achive your goal. One way can be something like this:
parent
<AppImage v-for="img in imageData" :key="img.id" :image="img"/>
data() {
iamges: ["yourPath1", "yourPath2"]
},
computed: {
imageData() {
// adding ID is almost always a good idea while creating Vue apps.
return this.images.map(x => {
id: Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000),
path: x
})
}
}
Image.vue
<img :path="image.path" :class={ active: mock} />
<toggleButtons #toggled=changeImageState />
props: [image],
data() {
mock: ''
},
methods: {
changeImageState(event) {
this.mock = event
}
}
ToggleButtons.vue
<a #click="toggleMock(false)">Proto</a>
<a #click="toggleMock(true)">Mock</a>
emits: ['toggled']
methods: {
toggleMock(val) {
this.$emits('toggled', val)
}
}
Please read the code and let me know if you have any question.
