Using Vue.js (Vuetify for FE).
A page reload causes the getter in Vuex to fail with pulling required data from the store. The getter returns undefined. The code can be found on GitHub at: https://github.com/tineich/timmyskittys/tree/master/src
Please see the full details on this issue at timmyskittys.netlify.com/stage1. This page has complete info on the issue and instructions on how to view the issue.
Note, there is mention of www.timmyskittys.com in the issue description. This is the main site. timmyskittys.netlify.com is my test site. So, they are the same for all intents and purposes. But, my demo of this issue is at the Netlify site.
I read the complete issue in the website you mentioned. It's a generic case.
Say, for cat details page url: www.timmyskittys.com/stage2/:id.
Now in Per-Route Guard beforeEnter() you can set the cat-id in store. Then from your component call the api using the cat-id (read from getters)
I found the solution to my issue:
I had to move the call of the action which calls the mutation that loads the .json file (dbdata.json) into a computed() within App.vue. This was originally done in Stage1.vue.
Thanks all for responding.
I had the same issue and my "fix" if it can be called that was to make a timer, so to give the store time to get things right, like so:
<v-treeview
:items="items"
:load-children="setChildren"
/>
</template>
<script>
import { mapGetters } from 'vuex'
const pause = ms => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms))
export default {
data () {
return {
children: []
}
},
computed: {
...mapGetters('app', ['services']),
items () {
return [{
id: 0,
name: 'Services',
children: this.children
}]
}
},
methods: {
async setChildren () {
await pause(1000)
this.children.push(...this.services)
}
}
}
</script>
Even though this is far from ideal, it works.

I need to implement dynamic pages in a Nuxt + CMS bundle.
I send the URL to the server and if such a page exists I receive the data.
The data contains a list of components that I need to use, the number of components can be different.
I need to dynamically import these components and use them on the page.
I don't fully understand how I can properly import these components and use them.
I know that I can use the global registration of components, but in this case I am interested in dynamic imports.
Here is a demo that describes the approximate logic of my application.
https://codesandbox.io/s/dank-water-zvwmu?file=%2Fpages%2F_.vue
Here is a github issue that may be useful for you: https://github.com/nuxt/components/issues/227#issuecomment-902013353
I've used something like this before
<nuxt-dynamic :name="icon"></nuxt-dynamic>
to load dynamic SVG depending of the icon prop thanks to dynamic.
Since now, it is baked-in you should be able to do
<component :is="componentId" />
but it looks like it is costly in terms of performance.
This is of course based on Nuxt components and auto-importing them.
Also, if you want to import those from anywhere you wish, you can follow my answer here.
I used this solution. I get all the necessary data in the asyncData hook and then import the components in the created () hook
https://codesandbox.io/s/codesandbox-nuxt-uidc7?file=/pages/index.vue
asyncData({ route, redirect }) {
const dataFromServer = [
{
path: "/about",
componentName: 'myComponent'
},
];
const componentData = dataFromServer.find(
(data) => data.path === route.path
);
return { componentData };
},
data() {
return {
selectedRouteData: null,
componentData: {},
importedComponents: []
};
},
created() {
this.importComponent();
},
methods: {
async importComponent() {
const comp = await import(`~/folder/${this.componentData.componentName}.vue`);
this.importedComponents.push(comp.default);
}
Could someone tell me what is wrong with this setup, where I want to load a config.json file before the vue app is created and access the config in the components with this.$root.config. There is no root config element I can access? Missing something? Thanks for your help! The config.json file is correctly loaded, can log the config to the console. But it is not added to the root properties from Vue?
fetch('/config.json')
.then(res => res.json())
.then(config => {
createApp(App, {
data() {
return config
},
created() {
console.log(this.$root.config);
}
}).use(store).use(router).use(i18n).mount('#app');
});
What you place in data won't be found in $root but, as Abdelillah pointed out, in $root.$data. Since App is the root component, though, you can just use this.config. In any subcomponent, you'd have to use this.$root.$data.config.
But Vue 3 provides a cleaner alternative to provide data to any component in your app: config.globalProperties.
Example:
const app = Vue.createApp({});
app.component('test', {
mounted() {
console.log(this.config);
}
});
Promise.resolve({
foo: 'bar'
}).then(config => {
app.config.globalProperties.config = config;
app.mount('#app');
});
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue#next/dist/vue.global.prod.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<test />
</div>
As you can see, logging <test>'s .config outputs the globalProperty.config set on the app, and it's going to be the same for any component in the app.
If you want to provide data to any descendants of current component (no matter how deep, skipping intermediary parents), you could use provide/inject. While I find this particularly useful for providing some data to all the children of a particular component (and not to the rest of the app's components), it can obviously be used on the root component, which would make the provide available cross-app via inject wherever you need it.
there is no property called config on your data, what you are doing is simply returning the JSON object you imported, you should be doing:
fetch('/config.json')
.then(res => res.json())
.then(config => {
createApp(App, {
data() {
return {
// config: config
config
}
},
created() {
console.log(this.$root.$data.config);
// or console.log(this.config);
}
}).use(store).use(router).use(i18n).mount('#app');
});
I just want to be able to call
{{ globalThing(0) }}
in templates, without needing to define globalThing in each .vue file.
I've tried all manner of plugin configurations (or mixins? not sure if Nuxt uses that terminology.), all to no avail. It seems no matter what I do, globalThing and this.globalThing remain undefined.
In some cases, I can even debug in Chrome and see this this.globalThing is indeed defined... but the code crashes anyway, which I find very hard to explain.
Here is one of my many attempts, this time using a plugin:
nuxt.config.js:
plugins: [
{
src: '~/plugins/global.js',
mode: 'client'
},
],
global.js:
import Vue from 'vue';
Vue.prototype.globalFunction = arg => {
console.log('arg', arg);
return arg;
};
and in the template in the .vue file:
<div>gloabal test {{globalFunction('toto')}}</div>
and... the result:
TypeError
_vm.globalFunction is not a function
Here's a different idea, using Vuex store.
store/index.js:
export const actions = {
globalThing(p) {
return p + ' test';
}
};
.vue file template:
test result: {{test('fafa')}}
.vue file script:
import { mapActions } from 'vuex';
export default {
methods: {
...mapActions({
test: 'globalThing'
}),
}
};
aaaaaaaaand the result is.........
test result: [object Promise]
OK, so at least the method exists this time. I would much prefer not to be forced to do this "import mapActions" dance etc. in each component... but if that's really the only way, whatever.
However, all I get is a Promise, since this call is async. When it completes, the promise does indeed contain the returned value, but that is of no use here, since I need it to be returned from the method.
EDIT
On the client, "this" is undefined, except that..... it isn't! That is to say,
console.log('this', this);
says "undefined", but Chrome's debugger claims that, right after this console log, "this" is exactly what it is supposed to be (the component instance), and so is this.$store!
I'm adding a screenshot here as proof, since I don't even believe my own eyes.
https://nuxtjs.org/guide/plugins/
Nuxt explain this in Inject in $root & context section.
you must inject your global methods to Vue instance and context.
for example we have a hello.js file.
in plugins/hello.js:
export default (context, inject) => {
const hello = (msg) => console.log(`Hello ${msg}!`)
// Inject $hello(msg) in Vue, context and store.
inject('hello', hello)
// For Nuxt <= 2.12, also add 👇
context.$hello = hello
}
and then add this file in nuxt.config.js:
export default {
plugins: ['~/plugins/hello.js']
}
Use Nuxt's inject to get the method available everywhere
export default ({ app }, inject) => {
inject('myInjectedFunction', (string) => console.log('That was easy!', string))
}
Make sure you access that function as $myInjectedFunction (note $)
Make sure you added it in nuxt.config.js plugins section
If all else fails, wrap the function in an object and inject object so you'd have something like $myWrapper.myFunction() in your templates - we use objects injected from plugins all over the place and it works (e.g. in v-if in template, so pretty sure it would work from {{ }} too).
for example, our analytics.js plugin looks more less:
import Vue from 'vue';
const analytics = {
setAnalyticsUsersData(store) {...}
...
}
//this is to help Webstorm with autocomplete
Vue.prototype.$analytics = analytics;
export default ({app}, inject) => {
inject('analytics', analytics);
}
Which is then called as $analytics.setAnalyticsUsersData(...)
P.S. Just noticed something. You have your plugin in client mode. If you're running in universal, you have to make sure that this plugin (and the function) is not used anywhere during SSR. If it's in template, it's likely it actually is used during SSR and thus is undefined. Change your plugin to run in both modes as well.
This would be the approach with Vuex and Nuxt:
// store/index.js
export const state = () => ({
globalThing: ''
})
export const mutations = {
setGlobalThing (state, value) {
state.globalThing = value
}
}
// .vue file script
export default {
created() {
this.$store.commit('setGlobalThing', 'hello')
},
};
// .vue file template
{{ this.$store.state.globalThing }}
We know that only router component may request asyncData in a ssr environment. i have one main component(not router component), i need some async data to render server side. because it is not router component, so i can't use asyncData for server side rendering.
so i have used created hook for calling async api, but component hook is synchronous and don't wait for promise. what to do for getting async data on server side?
App.vue - Main Component
export default {
components: {
footer: Footer,
header: Header,
selector: selector
},
beforeMount() {
// need preload metadata here
},
created () {
// it return preload metadata as response.
return this.$store.dispatch('GET_PRELOAD_META_DATA');
}
}
Action.js
GET_PRELOAD_META_DATA: ({ commit }) => {
return axios.get("api/preload").then(({ data }) => {
commit('SET_PRELOAD_DATA', data);
});
},
As of Vue 2.6, there is a new SSR feature that may accomplish what you’re trying to do. ServerPrefetch is now a hook that can resolve promises to get async data and can interact with a global store.
Check out more in their documentation. https://ssr.vuejs.org/api/#serverprefetch
(I know this an old post, but I stumbled upon it while googling and thought I might be able to help someone else googling too)
So I'm building an application using Laravel Spark, and therefore taking the opportunity to learn some Vue.js while I'm at it.
It's taken longer for me to get my head around it than I would have liked but I have nearly got Vue-multiselect working for a group of options, the selected options of which are retrieved via a get request and then updated.
The way in which I've got this far may well be far from the best, so bear with me, but it only seems to load the selected options ~60% of the time. To be clear - there are never any warnings/errors logged in the console, and if I check the network tab the requests to get the Tutor's instruments are always successfully returning the same result...
I've declared a global array ready:
var vm = new Vue({
data: {
tutorinstruments: []
}
});
My main component then makes the request and updates the variable:
getTutor() {
this.$http.get('/get/tutor')
.then(response => {
this.tutor = response.data;
this.updateTutor();
});
},
updateTutor() {
this.updateTutorProfileForm.profile = this.tutor.profile;
vm.tutorinstruments = this.tutor.instruments;
},
My custom multiselect from Vue-multiselect then fetches all available instruments and updates the available instruments, and those that are selected:
getInstruments() {
this.$http.get('/get/instruments')
.then(response => {
this.instruments = response.data;
this.updateInstruments();
});
},
updateInstruments() {
this.options = this.instruments;
this.selected = vm.tutorinstruments;
},
The available options are always there.
Here's a YouTube link to how it looks if you refresh the page over and over
I'm open to any suggestions and welcome some help please!
Your global array var vm = new Vue({...}) is a separate Vue instance, which lives outside your main Vue instance that handles the user interface.
This is the reason you are using both this and vm in your components. In your methods, this points to the Vue instance that handles the user interface, while vm points to your global array that you initialized outside the Vue instance.
Please check this guide page once more: https://v2.vuejs.org/v2/guide/instance.html
If you look at the lifecycle diagram that initializes all the Vue features, you will notice that it mentions Vue instance in a lot of places. These features (reactivity, data binding, etc.) are designed to operate within a Vue instance, and not across multiple instances. It may work once in a while when the timing is right, but not guaranteed to work.
To resolve this issue, you can redesign your app to have a single Vue instance to handle the user interface and also data.
Ideally I would expect your tutorinstruments to be loaded in a code that initializes your app (using mounted hook in the root component), and get stored in a Vuex state. Once you have the data in your Vuex state, it can be accessed by all the components.
Vuex ref: https://vuex.vuejs.org/en/intro.html
Hope it helps! I understand I haven't given you a direct solution to your question. Maybe we can wait for a more direct answer if you are not able to restructure your app into a single Vue instance.
What Mani wrote is 100% correct, the reason I'm going to chime in is because I just got done building a very large scale project with PHP and Vue and I feel like I'm in a good position to give you some advice / things I learned in the process of building out a PHP (server side) website but adding in Vue (client side) to the mix for the front end templating.
This may be a bit larger than the scope of your multiselect question, but I'll give you a solid start on that as well.
First you need to decide which one of them is going to be doing the routing (when users come to a page who is handling the traffic) in your web app because that will determine the way you want to go about using Vue. Let's say for the sake of discussion you decide to authenticate (if you have logins) with PHP but your going to handle the routing with Vue on the front end. In this instance your going to want to for sure have one main Vue instance and more or less set up something similar to this example from Vue Router pretending that the HTML file is your PHP index.php in the web root, this should end up being the only .php file you need as far as templating goes and I had it handle all of the header meta and footer copyright stuff, in the body you basically just want one div with the ID app.
Then you just use the vue router and the routes to load in your vue components (one for each page or category of page works easily) for all your pages. Bonus points if you look up and figure using a dynamic component in your main app.vue to lazy load in the page component based on the route so your bundle stays small.
*hint you also need a polyfill with babel to do this
template
<Component :is="dynamicComponent"/>
script
components: {
Account: () => import('./Account/Account.vue'),
FourOhFour: () => import('../FourOhFour.vue')
},
computed: {
dynamicComponent() {
return this.$route.name;
}
},
Now that we are here we can deal with your multiselect issue (this also basically will help you to understand an easy way to load any component for Vue you find online into your site). In one of your page components you load when someone visits a route lets say /tutor (also I went and passed my authentication information from PHP into my routes by localizing it then using props, meta fields, and router guards, its all in that documention so I'll leave that to you if you want to explore) on tutor.vue we will call that your page component is where you want to call in multiselect. Also at this point we are still connected to our main Vue instance so if you want to reference it or your router from tutor.vue you can just use the Vue API for almost anything subbing out Vue or vm for this. But the neat thing is in your main JS file / modules you add to it outside Vue you can still use the API to reference your main Vue instance with Vue after you have loaded the main instance and do whatever you want just like you were inside a component more or less.
This is the way I would handle adding in external components from this point, wrapping them in another component you control and making them a child of your page component. Here is a very simple example with multiselect pretend the parent is tutor.vue.
Also I have a global event bus running, thought you might like the idea
https://alligator.io/vuejs/global-event-bus/
tutor.vue
<template>
<div
id="user-profile"
class="account-content container m-top m-bottom"
>
<select-input
:saved-value="musicPreviouslySelected"
:options="musicTypeOptions"
:placeholder="'Choose an your music thing...'"
#selected="musicThingChanged($event)"
/>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import SelectInput from './SelectInput';
import EventBus from './lib/eventBus';
export default {
components: {
SelectInput
},
data() {
return {
profileLoading: true,
isFullPage: false,
isModalActive: false,
slackId: null,
isActive: false,
isAdmin: false,
rep: {
id: null,
status: '',
started: '',
email: '',
first_name: '',
},
musicTypeOptions: []
};
},
created() {
if (org.admin) {
this.isAdmin = true;
}
this.rep.id = parseInt(this.$route.params.id);
this.fetchData();
},
mounted() {
EventBus.$on('profile-changed', () => {
// Do something because something happened somewhere else client side.
});
},
methods: {
fetchData() {
// use axios or whatever to fetch some data from the server and PHP to
// load into the page component so say we are getting the musicTypeOptions
// which will be in our selectbox.
},
musicThingChanged(event) {
// We have our new selection "event" from multiselect so do something
}
}
};
</script>
this is our child Multiselect wrapper SelectInput.vue
<template>
<multiselect
v-model="value"
:options="options"
:placeholder="placeholder"
label="label"
track-by="value"
#input="inputChanged" />
</template>
<script>
import Multiselect from 'vue-multiselect';
export default {
components: { Multiselect },
props: {
options: {
type: [Array],
default() {
return [];
}
},
savedValue: {
type: [Array],
default() {
return [];
}
},
placeholder: {
type: [String],
default: 'Select Option...'
}
},
data() {
return {
value: null
};
},
mounted() {
this.value = this.savedValue;
},
methods: {
inputChanged(selected) {
this.$emit('selected', selected.value);
}
}
};
</script>
<style scoped>
#import '../../../../../node_modules/vue-multiselect/dist/vue-multiselect.min.css';
</style>
Now you can insure you are manging the lifecycle of your page and what data you have when, you can wait until you get musicTypeOptions before it will be passed to SelectInput component which will in turn set up Multiselect or any other component and then handle passing the data back via this.$emit('hihiwhatever') which gets picked up by #hihiwhatever on the component in the template which calls back to a function and now you are on your way to do whatever with the new selection and pass different data to SelectInput and MultiSelect will stay in sync always.
Now for my last advice, from experience. Resist the temptation because you read about it 650 times a day and it seems like the right thing to do and use Vuex in a setup like this. You have PHP and a database already, use it just like Vuex would be used if you were making is in Node.js, which you are not you have a perfectly awesome PHP server side storage, trying to manage data in Vuex on the front end, while also having data managed by PHP and database server side is going to end in disaster as soon as you start having multiple users logged in messing with the Vuex data, which came from PHP server side you will not be able to keep a single point of truth. If you don't have a server side DB yes Vuex it up, but save yourself a headache and wait to try it until you are using Node.js 100%.
If you want to manage some data client side longer than the lifecycle of a page view use something like https://github.com/gruns/ImmortalDB it has served me very well.
Sorry this turned into a blog post haha, but I hope it helps someone save themselves a few weeks.
