Two way data binding with :model.sync when prop has get() and set() - vue.js

Question

I have a computed property that I use as v-model on an input. I've written it this way to get reactivity -- this calls my setText Vuex action which I then can get with my getter text. It looks like this:
text: {
get() {
return this.text;
},
set(value) {
this.setText(value);
},
},
and I use it in my input like this:
<input class="input" type="text" v-model="text" />
This works well. Now, I've put the input in question into a separate component which I use. This means I have to pass the text v-model as props, which I do with :model.sync, like so:
<myInput :model.sync="text"/>
and in the myInput component I use the props like so:
<input class="input" id="search-order" type="text" :value="model" #input="$emit('update:model', $event)">
But this doesn't seem to work at all, whenever I type into the input, the input says: [object InputEvent] and if I try to see and the value of model it's {isTrusted: true}. I'm assuming it's because of the getters and setters I have on my computed property. How do I pass these down to the child component?

Instead of using the .sync modifier you can support the v-model directive in your custom component. v-model is syntax sugar for a value prop and an input event.
To support v-model just make sure your custom component has a value prop and emits an input event with the new value: this.$emit('input', event.target.value).
Here is an example of a <BaseInput> component I use, it's written in TypeScript:
<template>
<input
:type="type"
:value="value"
class="input"
v-on="listeners"
>
</template>
<script lang="ts">
import Vue from 'vue'
export default Vue.extend({
name: 'BaseInput',
props: {
type: {
type: String,
default: 'text',
},
value: {
type: [String, Number],
default: '',
},
lazy: {
type: Boolean,
default: false,
},
number: {
type: Boolean,
default: false,
},
trim: {
type: Boolean,
default: false,
},
},
computed: {
modelEvent(): string {
return this.lazy ? 'change' : 'input'
},
parseModel(): (value: string) => string | number {
return (value: string) => {
if (this.type === 'number' || this.number) {
const res = Number.parseFloat(value)
// If the value cannot be parsed with parseFloat(),
// then the original value is returned.
return Number.isNaN(res) ? value : res
} else if (this.trim) {
return value.trim()
}
return value
}
},
listeners(): Record<string, Function | Function[]> {
return {
...this.$listeners,
[this.modelEvent]: (event: HTMLElementEvent<HTMLInputElement>) =>
this.$emit(this.modelEvent, this.parseModel(event.target.value)),
}
},
})
</script>
You can use it like so:
<BaseInput v-model="text" />
