I need to collect data from all child components and get it in Parent component.
For example i have a form component with "Save" button.
Once i click on "Save" button i need all child component send me all data that an user put there.
<Form>
<Name />
<DatePicker />
.....
</Form>
So the main component is Form and it has several child components. Once i click on "Save" in i need to get child components data in Form.
I am thinking about giving "ref" to all child component and call their own methods in Parent once i click on "Save" inside Form. In those methods i will collect all data and fire events with this.$emit there i can send to parent the data i have collected.
Is that a good solution?
Or maybe better to use EventBus?
I prefer bind over emit.
Vue.component("InputField", {
template: `<input v-model="syncedValue" />`,
name: "InputField",
props: {
value: String
},
computed: {
syncedValue: {
get() {
return this.value;
},
set(v) {
this.$emit("input", v);
}
}
}
});
Vue.component("Form", {
template: `<div><InputField v-model="name"/><InputField v-model="surname"/><button #click="save">Save</button></div>`,
name: "Form",
data() {
return {
name: "",
surname: ""
};
},
methods: {
save() {
alert(`${this.name} ${this.surname}`);
}
}
});
new Vue({
template: `<Form></Form>`
}).$mount("#app");

I have a button in my child component and when I click this button I want to add a class in my parent component. I added child component as a slot in parent component.
parent component:
<template>
<div :class="editMode ? 'class-add' : ''">
<slot name="default"></slot>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
props: {
editMode: {
type: Boolean,
required: true,
},
},
};
</script>
child component:
<button #click="addClass">Click Me!!!</button>
addClass() {
this.$emit('edit-abc', true);
},
And here how I am adding the class:
<parent-component :edit-mode="editMode">
<template #default>
<child-component #edit-abc="editAbc($event)" />
</template>
</parent-component>
The problem is as you see, I have several abcs (abcs is an object which includes several abc) to send to child the class only the one which is clicked. So I believe here #edit-abc="editMode = $event", instead of editMode = $event, I need to create a function and filter the one that I want to add the class but my logic is wrong somewhere. Here what I have done as a function.
editAbc(event) {
this.abcs.filter((a) => {
if (a.id) {
this.$nextTick(() => {
return (this.editMode = event);
});
}
});
},
You have to declare the editMode data property to use it in your event handling.
data() {
return {
editMode: false
};
}
If you need to send separate events, then simply use different events.
You intentions with "several abcs" are not really clear. And it looks for me like you have a design flaw.
Please clarify it further.
UPDATE
Here is a stackblitz with the solution.
I want to check if child component is mounted and I want to move that information to he parent component. For this I am using emits.
So with example here is my parent component:
<child #is-child-mounted="childMounted" />
export default {
data() {
return {
childMounted: false,
};
},
mounted() {
if (this.childMounted) {
//do something
}
},
}
and in child component, I am changing 'is-child-mounted' to true:
mounted() {
this.$emit('isChildMounted', true);
},
But still if (this.childMounted) comes false. So how can I check in parent component if the child component is mounted?
You can add a listener on the child component fom the parent. It would look like this:
Vue3
<Component
#vnodeMounted="handleMounted"
/>
Vue2
<Component
#hook:mounted="handleMounted"
/>
You can replace the hook name by the lifecycle one you want to listen to ! I guess it should be used sparsely as it is not present in the documentation and thus be an internal API that is not destined to be used directly.
source:
https://github.com/vuejs/core/issues/4345#issuecomment-899082892
https://github.com/vuejs/vue/blob/8d3fce029f20a73d5d0b1ff10cbf6fa73c989e62/src/core/instance/lifecycle.js#L348
Looks like there is a typo in the event name in the child component while triggering the event else code should work fine.
It should be is-child-mounted instead of ischildmounted
It should be #is-child-mounted="childMounted = true" instead of #is-child-mounted="childMounted"
Live Demo :
Vue.component('child', {
props: ['childmsg'],
template: '<p>{{ childmsg }}</p>',
mounted() {
this.$emit('is-child-mounted')
}
});
var app = new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: {
childMounted: false
},
mounted() {
if (this.childMounted) {
console.log('child mounted');
}
}
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.17/vue.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<child childmsg="This is a child component" #is-child-mounted="childMounted = true"></child>
</div>
I have a child component which includes form:
<el-form :model="abc" ref="ruleForm" :rules="rules">
<el-form-item prop="files">
<abc-card :title="getTranslation('abc.files')">
<file-selector v-model="abc.files" />
</abc-card>
</el-form-item>
</el-form>
And I want to add simple validations to this form:
rules: function () {
return {
files: [
{
type: 'object',
required: true,
trigger: 'change',
message: 'Field required',
},
],
};
},
But my click button is in the parent component:
<files v-model="editableAbc" ref="editableTab" />
<el-button type="primary" #click="submitForm()">Create</el-button>
methods: {
submitForm() {
this.$refs.form.validate((isValid) => {
if (!isValid) {
return;
}
////API CALLS////
});
},
}
So I am trying to achieve that when the button is clicked the navigation should be rendered. How can I do that?
As per your requirement, My suggestion would be to use a ref on child component to access its methods and then on submit click in parent component, trigger the child component method.
In parent component template :
<parent-component>
<child-component ref="childComponentRef" />
<button #click="submitFromParent">Submit</button>
</parent-component>
In parent component script :
methods: {
submitFromParent() {
this.$refs.childComponentRef.submitForm();
}
}
In child component script :
methods: {
submitForm() {
// Perform validations and do make API calls based on validation passed.
// If you want to pass success or failure in parent then you can do that by using $emit from here.
}
}
The "files" component is the form you're talking about?
If so, then ref should be placed exactly when calling the 'files' component, and not inside it. This will allow you to access the component in your parent element.
<files v-model="editableAbc" ref="ruleForm" />
There is a method with the props, which was mentioned in the comments above. I really don't like it, but I can tell you about it.
You need to set a value in the data of the parent component. Next you have to pass it as props to the child component. When you click the button, you must change the value of this key (for example +1). In the child component, you need to monitor the change in the props value via watch and call your validation function.
// Parent
<template>
<div class="test">
<ChildComponent />
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
updateCount: 0,
};
},
methods: {
submitForm() {
// yout submit method
this.updateCount += 1;
},
},
};
</script>
// Child
<script>
export default {
props: {
updateCount: {
type: Number,
default: 0,
},
},
watch: {
updateCount: {
handler() {
this.validate();
},
},
},
methods: {
validate() {
// yout validation method
},
},
};
</script>
And one more solution. It is suitable if you cannot place the button in the child component, but you can pass it through the slot.
You need to pass the validate function in the child component through the prop inside the slot. In this case, in the parent component, you will be able to get this function through the v-slot and bind it to your button.
// Parent
<template>
<div class="test">
<ChildComponent>
<template #button="{ validate }">
<button #click="submitForm(validate)">My button</button>
</template>
</ChildComponent>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import ChildComponent from "./ChildComponent";
export default {
components: {
ChildComponent,
},
methods: {
submitForm(cb) {
const isValid = cb();
// your submit code
},
},
};
</script>
// Child
<template>
<div class="child-component">
<!-- your form -->
<slot name="button" :validate="validate" />
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
methods: {
validate() {
// yout validation method
console.log("validate");
},
},
};
</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);
}
}
})
Running example: https://jsfiddle.net/rjurado/m2spy60r/1/
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");
}
}
}
Hi I made a boolean value in parent component, and passed it to the child component as a props. it has initialized as false, and after the user view the component, the value will change to true, which means the page has been visited.
I have done some research and followed How to properly pass data from child to parent and parent to child component?
here is my js code:
<script>
export default {
props: {
hasLoad: {
type: Boolean
}
},
data () {
return {
hasLoadModel: this.hasLoad
}
},
created: function() {
console.log(this.hasLoad);
},
beforeDestroy: function() {
this.hasLoadModel = true;
this.hasLoad = true;
console.log(this.hasLoadModel);
console.log(this.hasLoad);
}
}
</script>
and html code
<div v-model="skillLoadModel">..</div>
But I still get
[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.
I have tried to change the value at either of beforeDestroy or Destroyed, or do not use v-model, but none of them works. The value has changed after I left the page, but when I reenter the page, the value has reset to default value.
Can someone help me please?
Thanks
Don't change the value of the prop. Have the component emit an event so that the parent can take the appropriate action.
Below is an example of a component that is created when the checkbox is checked, and is destroyed when it gets unchecked. The component emits a "dying" event, and the parent receives it and prints a scream to the console.
new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: {
showIt: true
},
methods: {
scream() {
console.log("Aaarg!");
}
},
components: {
myComponent: {
beforeDestroy: function() {
this.$emit('dying');
}
}
}
});
<script src="//unpkg.com/vue#latest/dist/vue.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<input type="checkbox" v-model="showIt">
<my-component v-if="showIt" hasload="true" #dying="scream" inline-template>
<div>Here I am</div>
</my-component>
</div>
I assume you're trying to communicate to the parent that the child has loaded. In that case, you can pass a function as a prop and simply call it when the child mounts.
Parent HTML:
<child :my-load-fn="loadFn"></child>
Parent JS:
methods: {
loadFn() {
this.childHasLoaded = true
}
}
Child JS:
props: ['myLoadFn'],
mounted() {
this.myLoadFn()
}
