I have a button component which calls an API, and I want to push the returned response up to the parent, where it will become the 'translatedText' prop, however, I believe I'm using the $emit incorrectly, due to the error: `Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '$emit'). How do I best capture the response data and pass it to my parent prop, and is using $emit the best use in this instance?
TranslationButton.vue
<template>
<b-button type="is-primary" #click="loadTranslations()">Übersetzen</b-button>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: "TranslationButton",
props: {
translatedText: ''
},
methods: {
loadTranslations() {
fetch('http://localhost:3000/ccenter/cc_apis')
.then(function(response) {
return response.text();
})
.then(function(data) {
console.log(data);
this.$emit('translatedText', this.data);
console.log(data)
})
},
},
};
</script>
Parent Component Props:
props: {
data: Array,
translatedText: '',
showAttachments: {
type: Boolean,
default: false,
}
},
How Child Component is called in Parent Component:
<translation-button #translatedText="loadTranslations()" />
Best practise when passing data from child to parent is emitting events.
this.$root.$emit('translatedText', this.data);
than
this.$root.$on('translatedText', () => { // do stuff })
by emits you pass value to parent component,
#translatedText="loadTranslations()" - its event listner, fireing on your child comp emit
do #translatedText="loadTranslations" instead of #translatedText="loadTranslations()"
and add this loadTranslations as a method to parent comp
BTW
if you dont use arrow funcs, and you use this.data it's pointing to object passed to .then, it will be undefined i guess...
The problem is with the usage of this. It does no longer point to your component inside the promise then() method.
You should create a new variable and initialize it with the value of this and use that variable to emit the event.
E.g.
loadTranslations() {
const _this = this;
fetch().then(response => _this.$emit(response));
}
if you want to pass data from child to parent, you need to use $emit like the below code
child:
<template>
<b-button type="is-primary" #click="loadTranslations">Übersetzen</b-button>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: "TranslationButton",
props: {
TranslatedText: ''
},
methods: {
loadTranslations() {
const self= this; // change added
fetch('http://localhost:3000/ccenter/cc_apis')
.then(function(response) {
return response.text();
})
.then(function(data) {
console.log(data);
self.$emit('changeTitle', data) // change added
})
}
}
</script>
parent:
<template>
<translation-button #changeTitle="ChangeT" />
</template>
......
methods:{
ChangeT(title)
{
console.log(title)
},
}

Can someone tell me why I get undefined when trying to pass a prop down to child component?
Error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'title')
Sandbox reproduction: https://codesandbox.io/s/little-silence-3lgd9?file=/components/PostEditor.vue
Parent component:
<template>
<div>
<PostEditor v-bind="post" />
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: "PostsEdit",
data() {
return {
post: {},
};
},
async created() {
const response = await fetch(
"https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1"
);
this.post = await response.json();
},
};
</script>
Child component:
<template>
<section>
{{ title }}
</section>
</template>
<script>
export default {
post: {
type: Object,
default: () => {},
required: false,
},
data() {
return {
title: this.post.title,
};
},
methods: {
save() {
this.$emit("save", {
...this.formValues,
});
},
},
};
</script>
v-bind="post"
The child prop is named "post", but the parent is trying to bind several properties with v-bind="post".
The binding name should match the target prop in the child:
<!-- <PostEditor v-bind="post" /> --> ❌ binds subproperties of post
<PostEditor v-bind:post="post" /> ✅ binds post
<PostEditor :post="post" /> ✅ binds post (shorthand)
post default prop value
The child's post prop has a default option of () => {}, but that arrow function returns nothing (undefined), as the curly brackets start a block scope. This is effectively the same as not having the default option.
You likely meant for default to return an empty object, which requires wrapping the curly braces in parentheses:
// default: () => {} // ❌ returns undefined
default: () => ({}) // ✅ returns {}
data() not reactive
Even with the prop default fixed above, the formValues.title property in data() is initialized to this.post.title, which would be undefined because post is initially an empty object. The post value passed in from the parent is updated asynchronously, so the value is still the initial value from the parent (also an empty object) in data().
Note that data() is not reactive, so it's only called once at initialization. Changes to this.post will not automatically update the data property.
Solution: Render child after post populated
One solution is to defer rendering the child component until the post prop is populated in the parent so that the post prop would have the expected values for the child's data() initialization.
In the parent, initialize post to null, and use v-if="post" to conditionally render the child:
<template>
<div> 👇
<PostEditor :post="post" v-if="post" />
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return { 👇
post: null,
}
},
}
</script>
demo
In the child component, you need to define the props section first and then access it through computed
export default {
props: { // change added
post: {
type: Object,
default: () => {},
required: false,
}
}, // change added
computed: {
title() {
return this.post ? this.post.title : '',
}
},
I have an issue in the two way binding of a reactive component in vue 3 using the composition API.
The setup:
The parent calling code is:
<template>
<h1>{{ message.test }}</h1>
<Message v-model="message" />
</template>
<script>
import Message from '#/components/Message.vue';
import { reactive } from 'vue';
export default {
name: 'Home',
components: { Message },
setup() {
const message = reactive({ test: '123' });
return {
message
};
}
};
</script>
The child component code is:
<template>
<label>
<input v-model="message" type="text" />
</label>
</template>
<script>
import { computed } from 'vue';
export default {
props: {
messageObj: {
type: Object,
default: () => {},
},
},
emits: ['update:messageObj'],
setup(props, { emit }) {
const message = computed({
get: () => props.messageObj.test,
set: (value) => emit('update:messageObj', value),
});
return {
message,
};
},
};
</script>
The problem:
When the component is loaded, the default value from the object is shown in the input field.
This is as it should be, however, when I update the value in the input box the H1 in the parent view is not getting updated with the new input box value.
I have searched through the stackoverflow board and google but have not found any hint as to what needs to be done to make the object reactive.
I read through the reactivity documentation but still have not found any solution for my issue.
For testing I have changed message to be a ref and using this single ref value the data remains reactive and everything is working as expected.
Any pointers on what can be the issue with the reactive object not updating?
Here
<div id="app">
<h1>{{ message.test }}</h1>
<child v-model="message"></child>
</div>
const { createApp, reactive, computed } = Vue;
// -------------------------------------------------------------- child
const child = {
template: `<input v-model="message.test" type="text" />`,
props: {
modelValue: {
type: Object,
default: () => ({}),
},
},
emits: ['update:modelValue'],
setup(props, { emit }) {
const message = computed({
get: () => props.modelValue,
set: (val) => emit('update:modelValue', val),
});
return { message };
}
};
// ------------------------------------------------------------- parent
createApp({
components: { child },
setup() {
const message = reactive({ test: 'Karamazov' });
return { message };
}
}).mount('#app');
Solution and observations:
In the parent view which is calling the component you can use v-model and add a parameter to that v-model if you need to pass only one of the values in the object.
<template>
<h1>{{ message.test }}</h1>
<!-- <h1>{{ message }}</h1> -->
<Message v-model:test="message" />
</template>
<script>
import Message from '#/components/Message.vue';
import { reactive } from 'vue';
export default {
name: 'Home',
components: { Message },
setup() {
const message = reactive({ test: '123' });
return {
message
};
}
};
</script>
In the receiving component you then register the parameter of the object that was passed in props as an object.
<template>
<label>
<input v-model="message.test" type="text" />
</label>
</template>
<script>
import { computed } from 'vue';
export default {
props: {
test: {
type: Object,
default: () => {}
},
},
emits: ['update:test'],
setup(props, { emit }) {
const message = computed({
get: () => props.test,
set: (value) => emit('update:test', value),
});
return {
message,
};
},
};
</script>
If you need to pass the whole object you need to use as a prop in the component the name modelValue.
Change in parent compared to previous code:
<template>
<h1>{{ message.test }}</h1>
<!-- <h1>{{ message }}</h1> -->
<Message v-model="message" />
</template>
Code of the component:
<template>
<label>
<input v-model="message.test" type="text" />
</label>
</template>
<script>
import { computed } from 'vue';
export default {
props: {
modelValue: {
type: Object,
default: () => {}
},
},
emits: ['update:modelValue'],
setup(props, { emit }) {
const message = computed({
get: () => props.modelValue,
set: (value) => emit('update:modelValue', value),
});
return {
message,
};
},
};
</script>
Should be pretty straight forward, and no computed is needed. See example below.
The messageObj was replaced with message in the child component for the emit to work (which would break due to case sensitivity in this demo)
const app = Vue.createApp({
setup() {
const message = Vue.reactive({ test: '123' , foo: "bark"});
return {
message,
};
}
})
app.component('Message', {
props: {
message: {
type: Object,
default: () => {},
},
},
emits: ['update:message'],
setup(props, { emit }) {
const message = props.message;
return { message };
},
template: document.querySelector('#t_child')
})
app.mount('#app')
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue#3.0.2/dist/vue.global.prod.js"></script>
<fieldset>
<div id="app">
<h1>{{ message.test }} || {{ message.foo }}</h1>
<fieldset><Message v-model:message="message"/></fieldset>
</div>
</fieldset>
<template id="t_child">
<label>
<h4>{{message}}</h4>
<input v-model="message.test" type="text" />
<input v-model="message.foo" type="text" />
</label>
</template>
Your initial problem is quite simple. In Vue 3 v-model defaults to to a prop called modelValue and emits come from update:modelValue. Other answers here have assumed that in their solutions but not directly addressed it.
You can either rename your messageObj prop to use the default prop OR use the multi-model features in Vue 3:
<Message v-model:messageObj="message" />
However our problems run deeper.
All (current) answers will work but aren't quite correct. They all fail the idiomatic "One-way Data Flow" rule.
Consider this JSFiddle, modified from this answer.
const child = {
template: `<input v-model="message.test" type="text" />`,
setup(props, { emit }) {
const message = computed({
get: () => props.modelValue,
// No set() ?
});
return { message };
}
}
In this example, the child component never 'emits' - yet the data is still updating in the parent component. This violates the "One-way" rule. Data must be propagated from child components using only emits and not via prop proxies.
The problem in here is that props.modelValue is reactive when arrives in the child component. One can verify this with the isReactive() helper. When it's passed through the computed() it retains that reactiveness and will continue to proxy updates through itself into the parent component.
A solution:
JSFiddle here
const { createApp, ref, computed } = Vue;
const child = {
template: `<input v-model="message" type="text" />`,
props: {
modelValue: {
type: Object,
default: () => ({}),
},
},
emits: ['update:modelValue'],
setup(props, { emit }) {
const message = computed({
get: () => props.modelValue.test,
set: (test) => emit('update:modelValue', ({...props.modelValue, test })),
});
return { message };
}
};
createApp({
components: { child },
setup() {
const message = ref({ test: 'Karamazov' });
return { message };
}
}).mount('#app');
The solution is three parts:
The computed getter must not return the proxy object from the parent component. Once this happens you're in danger of violating the "one-way" rule [note 1]. In this example props.modelValue.test is a string so we're safe.
The computed setter must emit the whole object, but again it must not be a reactive type. So we clone the modelValue using spread and include in the updated test field. This can also be achieved with Object.assign({}, props.modelValue, {test}) [note 2].
The message variable in the parent component cannot be a reactive() and must be a ref(). When the v-model receives the newly emitted object the message variable is clobbered and no longer reactive [note 3]. Even with refs the props.modelValue will still fully reactive when it arrives in the child component, so the cloning steps are still important.
Alternatively:
I should also mention that values from computed() are not deeply reactive. As in, setting values on a computed object will not trigger the computed setter.
An alternate solution for passing the whole object through to your template:
setup(props, { emit }) {
const message = reactive({...props.modelValue});
watch(message, message => emit('update:modelValue', ({...message})));
return { message };
}
In this, the whole message object will emit whenever the .test field is updated. E.g. <input v-model="message.test" />. This still obeys the "one-way" data rule because emits are the only way data is given to parent component.
Reasoning:
"One-way" data flow is important [4]. Consider this:
<child :modelValue="message"></child>
On a first (and a sensible) glance, this appears to pass data into 'child' but not out of 'child'. But, given a reactive object that is not handled by the child correctly, this will emit changes into my own component.
Observing this code I don't expect this behaviour so it's very important that the child component gets it right.
Notes:
[1]: Testing violations of the "one-way" rule are surprisingly simple. Remove any emit and if the parent receives updates - you've broken it. Or replacing v-model with v-bind also works.
[2]: Object.assign() and {...} spread are indeed different. But shouldn't affect our uses here.
[3]: I haven't found any clear documentation about this behaviour regarding reactive() and v-model. If anyone wants to chime in, that'd be great.
[4]: The Vue docs stress the importance of one-way bind. Evan himself (creator of Vue) even provides examples about how to use v-model with objects (in Vue 2, but the principles still apply).
I feel it's also important to note later in the same thread Evan suggests objects that are nested more than 1-level are considered misuse of v-model.
It turns out that 2 way binding of object properties with Vue 3 is even easier than demonstrated in any of the previous answers.
Parent Code (App.vue):
<script setup>
import Controller from './components/Controller.vue';
import { reactive } from 'vue';
const object1 = reactive({name: "Bruce", age: 38});
const object2 = reactive({name: "Alex", age: 6});
</script>
<template>
<div>
{{object1}}<br/>
{{object2}}
<Controller :my-object="object1"/>
<Controller :my-object="object2"/>
</div>
</template>
Component code (Controller.vue):
<script setup>
import { computed } from 'vue'
const props = defineProps({
myObject: {
type: Object,
default: () => {}
}
})
const name = computed({
get () {
return props.myObject.name
},
set (value) {
props.myObject.name = value
}
})
const age = computed({
get () {
return props.myObject.age
},
set (value) {
props.myObject.age = parseInt(value)
}
})
</script>
<template>
<div>
<input v-model="name"/><br/>
<input v-model="age" type="number"/>
</div>
</template>
Explanation:
The <component :my-object="object1" /> syntax uses a : to tell Vue that we are passing an object (object1), rather than a string to the component and assigning it to property myObject. It turns out that when the child component receives this property, its reactivity is still intact. Therefore, as long as we don't mutate myObject itself, but instead only modify its properties, there is no need to emit any events or even pass it with as a property called v-model (we can call the property whatever we want). Instead the javascript proxy that the reactive keyword creates will do all the work tracking the changes and re-rendering it.
Some testing reveals that it is even possible to add new properties to the object or change deep properties and still maintain reactivity.
I am just a beginner with Vue, so there may be reasons why using this method are an anti-pattern, with unintended future consequences...
For a form we have 2 components parent(for calling asyncdata and pass data as props to child) & child(form). I can properly fetch the props in child if I navigate using a link. But If I try to refresh the child component page it throws error as no props is passed. Found the reason to be that the parents asyncdata is not completing before the child render to sent the data in props.
Parent Component
<template>
<div>
<p>EDIT</p>
<NewListingModal :is-edit="true" :form-props="this.form" />
</div>
</template>
<script>
import NewListingModal from '#/components/NewListingModal.vue'
export default {
components: { NewListingModal },
async asyncData({ params, store }) {
const listing = await store.$db().model('listings').find(params.listing) //vuexorm call
if (typeof listing !== 'undefined') {
const convertedListing = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(listing))
return {
name: '',
scrollable: true,
form: {names: convertedListing.names}
}
}
},
}
</script>
child component(other form data is removed to keep it understandable)
<template>
<div v-for="name in this.form.names" :key="name">
<p>{{ name }} <a #click.prevent="deleteName(name)">Delete<a /></a></p>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Listing from '#/models/listing'
export default {
name: 'ListingModal',
props: {isEdit: {type: Boolean, default: false}, formProps: {type: Object}},
data() {
return {
name: '',
scrollable: true,
form: {names: this.formProps.names}
}
},
methods: {
addName() {
this.form.names.push(this.name)
this.name = ''
},
deleteName(name) {
const names = this.form.names
names.splice(names.indexOf(name), 1)
}
}
}
</script>
How can I make the NewListingModal component rendering wait until the asyncData completes in parent?
In my case, I used asyncData in my parent nuxt component, which fetches the data via store dispatch action, then set it to some store state key, via mutation.
Then I used validate method in my child component. Since Nuxt validate can return promises, I checked the vuex store first for fetched data. If there is none, I refetch it and return the promise instead.
In Parent component.vue
export default {
async asyncData({ params, store }) {
// Api operation which may take sometime
const {data} = await store.dispatch('fetch-my-data')
store.commit('setData', data) //This should be within above dispatch, but here for relevance
}
}
Here I am only fetching and saving to vuex store.
Child component.vue
export default {
async validate({ params, store }) {
let somedata = store.state.data //This is what you've set via parent's component mutation
return !!somedata || store.dispatch('fetch-my-data')
}
}
Here I am returning either the vuex store data (if exists), else refetch it.
I am trying to create custom event handlers for child components/elements of the functional component. The problem is that when using a render() function to create the child components, I cannot access their this context.
Suppose we have the following functional component:
const Aggregate = {
functional: true,
props: {
value: Object // to work with v-model
},
render: function(createElement, context){
const template = []
const inputHandler = function(value, prop){
const data = Object.assign({}, context.props.value, { [prop]: value })
console.log(context.props.value)
console.log(data)
this.$emit('input', data)
}
for (const prop of Object.keys(context.props.value)){
const child = createElement('input', {
props: {
value: context.props[prop]
},
on: {
input: function(event){
// 'this' is not binded here - it is undefined,
// hence the inputHandler() function is
// rising an error
inputHandler.apply(this, [event.target.value, prop])
}
}
})
template.push(child)
}
return template
}
}
Is it possible to access this context for a vnode, when creating event handler this way?
P.S. Use case info: I want to implement a component that automatically generates <input> elements for a resource and uses two-way binding through v-model directive. I also want to use it in <table> where wrapping in <td> will be required, thus I made the component functional.
Functional components don't a have a "this", because there is no Vue instance for them. This makes them lightweight.
This also means emiting events from them is kind of harder, since you need to implement Vue's logic yourself.
Lacking an instance doesn't mean you cannot events, instead, you need to manually parse context.listeners and call the event handler manually. In the case of v-model, you need to call the input listener:
const Aggregate = {
functional: true,
props: {
value: Object // to work with v-model
},
render: function(createElement, context){
const template = []
const inputHandler = function(value, prop, handler){
const data = Object.assign({}, context.props.value, { [prop]: value })
console.log(context.props.value)
console.log(data)
// Call handler directly instead of using this.$emit
handler(data)
}
for (const prop of Object.keys(context.props.value)){
console.log(context.props.value, prop)
const child = createElement('input', {
// Small bug fixes in the following section:
domProps: {
value: context.props.value[prop]
},
// End bug fixes
on: {
input: function(event){
// pass `context.listeners.input` instead of binding here
inputHandler(event.target.value, prop, context.listeners.input)
}
}
})
template.push(child)
}
return template
}
}
new Vue({
el: "#app",
components: {
Aggregate
},
data: {
test: {
key1: "val1",
key2: "val2",
}
},
})
<!-- development version, includes helpful console warnings -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue/dist/vue.js"></script>

Context
In Vue 2.0 the documentation and others clearly indicate that communication from parent to child happens via props.
Question
How does a parent tell its child an event has happened via props?
Should I just watch a prop called event? That doesn't feel right, nor do alternatives ($emit/$on is for child to parent, and a hub model is for distant elements).
Example
I have a parent container and it needs to tell its child container that it's okay to engage certain actions on an API. I need to be able to trigger functions.
Vue 3 Composition API
Create a ref for the child component, assign it in the template, and use the <ref>.value to call the child component directly.
<script setup>
import {ref} from 'vue';
const childComponentRef = ref(null);
function click() {
// `childComponentRef.value` accesses the component instance
childComponentRef.value.doSomething(2.0);
}
</script>
<template>
<div>
<child-component ref="childComponentRef" />
<button #click="click">Click me</button>
</div>
</template>
Couple things to note-
If your child component is using <script setup>, you'll need to declare public methods (e.g. doSomething above) using defineExpose.
If you're using Typescript, details of how to type annotate this are here.
Vue 3 Options API / Vue 2
Give the child component a ref and use $refs to call a method on the child component directly.
html:
<div id="app">
<child-component ref="childComponent"></child-component>
<button #click="click">Click</button>
</div>
javascript:
var ChildComponent = {
template: '<div>{{value}}</div>',
data: function () {
return {
value: 0
};
},
methods: {
setValue: function(value) {
this.value = value;
}
}
}
new Vue({
el: '#app',
components: {
'child-component': ChildComponent
},
methods: {
click: function() {
this.$refs.childComponent.setValue(2.0);
}
}
})
For more info, see Vue 3 docs on component refs or Vue 2 documentation on refs.
What you are describing is a change of state in the parent. You pass that to the child via a prop. As you suggested, you would watch that prop. When the child takes action, it notifies the parent via an emit, and the parent might then change the state again.
var Child = {
template: '<div>{{counter}}</div>',
props: ['canI'],
data: function () {
return {
counter: 0
};
},
watch: {
canI: function () {
if (this.canI) {
++this.counter;
this.$emit('increment');
}
}
}
}
new Vue({
el: '#app',
components: {
'my-component': Child
},
data: {
childState: false
},
methods: {
permitChild: function () {
this.childState = true;
},
lockChild: function () {
this.childState = false;
}
}
})
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.2.1/vue.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<my-component :can-I="childState" v-on:increment="lockChild"></my-component>
<button #click="permitChild">Go</button>
</div>
If you truly want to pass events to a child, you can do that by creating a bus (which is just a Vue instance) and passing it to the child as a prop.
You can use $emit and $on. Using #RoyJ code:
html:
<div id="app">
<my-component></my-component>
<button #click="click">Click</button>
</div>
javascript:
var Child = {
template: '<div>{{value}}</div>',
data: function () {
return {
value: 0
};
},
methods: {
setValue: function(value) {
this.value = value;
}
},
created: function() {
this.$parent.$on('update', this.setValue);
}
}
new Vue({
el: '#app',
components: {
'my-component': Child
},
methods: {
click: function() {
this.$emit('update', 7);
}

A simple decoupled way to call methods on child components is by emitting a handler from the child and then invoking it from parent.
var Child = {
template: '<div>{{value}}</div>',
data: function () {
return {
value: 0
};
},
methods: {
setValue(value) {
this.value = value;
}
},
created() {
this.$emit('handler', this.setValue);
}
}
new Vue({
el: '#app',
components: {
'my-component': Child
},
methods: {
setValueHandler(fn) {
this.setter = fn
},
click() {
this.setter(70)
}
}
})
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue#2.5.17/dist/vue.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<my-component #handler="setValueHandler"></my-component>
<button #click="click">Click</button>
</div>
The parent keeps track of the child handler functions and calls whenever necessary.
Did not like the event-bus approach using $on bindings in the child during create. Why? Subsequent create calls (I'm using vue-router) bind the message handler more than once--leading to multiple responses per message.
The orthodox solution of passing props down from parent to child and putting a property watcher in the child worked a little better. Only problem being that the child can only act on a value transition. Passing the same message multiple times needs some kind of bookkeeping to force a transition so the child can pick up the change.
I've found that if I wrap the message in an array, it will always trigger the child watcher--even if the value remains the same.
Parent:
{
data: function() {
msgChild: null,
},
methods: {
mMessageDoIt: function() {
this.msgChild = ['doIt'];
}
}
...
}
Child:
{
props: ['msgChild'],
watch: {
'msgChild': function(arMsg) {
console.log(arMsg[0]);
}
}
}
HTML:
<parent>
<child v-bind="{ 'msgChild': msgChild }"></child>
</parent>
The below example is self explainatory. where refs and events can be used to call function from and to parent and child.
// PARENT
<template>
<parent>
<child
#onChange="childCallBack"
ref="childRef"
:data="moduleData"
/>
<button #click="callChild">Call Method in child</button>
</parent>
</template>
<script>
export default {
methods: {
callChild() {
this.$refs.childRef.childMethod('Hi from parent');
},
childCallBack(message) {
console.log('message from child', message);
}
}
};
</script>
// CHILD
<template>
<child>
<button #click="callParent">Call Parent</button>
</child>
</template>
<script>
export default {
methods: {
callParent() {
this.$emit('onChange', 'hi from child');
},
childMethod(message) {
console.log('message from parent', message);
}
}
}
</script>
If you have time, use Vuex store for watching variables (aka state) or trigger (aka dispatch) an action directly.
Calling child component in parent
<component :is="my_component" ref="my_comp"></component>
<v-btn #click="$refs.my_comp.alertme"></v-btn>
in Child component
mycomp.vue
methods:{
alertme(){
alert("alert")
}
}
I think we should to have a consideration about the necessity of parent to use the child’s methods.In fact,parents needn’t to concern the method of child,but can treat the child component as a FSA(finite state machine).Parents component to control the state of child component.So the solution to watch the status change or just use the compute function is enough
you can use key to reload child component using key
<component :is="child1" :filter="filter" :key="componentKey"></component>
If you want to reload component with new filter, if button click filter the child component
reloadData() {
this.filter = ['filter1','filter2']
this.componentKey += 1;
},
and use the filter to trigger the function
You can simulate sending event to child by toggling a boolean prop in parent.
Parent code :
...
<child :event="event">
...
export default {
data() {
event: false
},
methods: {
simulateEmitEventToChild() {
this.event = !this.event;
},
handleExample() {
this.simulateEmitEventToChild();
}
}
}
Child code :
export default {
props: {
event: {
type: Boolean
}
},
watch: {
event: function(value) {
console.log("parent event");
}
}
}
