change data variable when passed into a method in vue - vue.js

Question

I have the following vue component where I am changing the class of the parent row based on whether or not an input is focused
<template>
<div class="form form--login">
<div class="form__row" :class="{entered: emailEntered}">
<label class="form__label" for="login-form-email">Email address</label>
<input type="text" class="form__control form__control--textbox" name="email-address" id="login-form-email" #focus="emailEntered = true" #blur="handleBlur($event, emailEntered)">
</div>
<div class="form__row" :class="{entered: passwordEntered}">
<label class="form__label" for="login-form-password">Password</label>
<input type="password" class="form__control form__control--textbox form__control--password" name="password" id="login-form-password" #focus="passwordEntered = true" #blur="handleBlur($event, passwordEntered)">
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: 'login-form',
data() {
return {
emailEntered: false,
passwordEntered: false,
}
},
methods: {
handleBlur(e, enteredBool) {
if (e.currentTarget.value.trim() === '') {
// this doesn't do anything - I can do an if else statement to change this.passwordEntered or this.emailEntered based on the name of the current target, but how do I change the value by passing it into the method?
enteredBool = false;
}
},
}
}
</script>
but it doesn't seem to change the variable that is passed into the method - how do I pass a data variable into the method and change it's value? Or should I be doing it in a different way? I don't really want to be doing an if else statement as I may have a form that has got a lot more inputs on and I think that would be really inefficient to maintain
I also thought that I could do something in the #bur as you can do #blur="passwordEntered = false", but I wasn't sure how to check if the field was empty or not

Answer 1

In order to change the variable, you need to refer it using this
handleBlur(e, enteredBool) {
if (e.currentTarget.value.trim() === '') {
this[enteredBool] = false; //Change added
}
},
and the way you pass it should be like
#blur="handleBlur($event, 'emailEntered')" //Added single quotes
and
#blur="handleBlur($event, 'passwordEntered')" //Added single quotes
