Please help me out, how to handle this error i cant seem to handle this out as i am new to vue.
what im doing is getting data from server in store vuex with action. Now in component im accessing that data with getter in computed property and trying to watch that property but on component mount i get that error in console but functionality works fine.
data: function() {
return {
settings_flags :{
general: 0,
privacy: 0,
layouts: 0,
message: 0
}
}
}
1: mounting
mounted() {
let self = this;
self.userid = this.getUserId();
this.$store.dispatch('getGallerySettings',self.req);
self.initial_settings();
}
2: computed
computed: {
get_settings() {
return this.$store.getters.getGallerySettings;
}
}
3: watch
watch: {
'get_settings': {
deep: true,
handler() {
let self =this;
if (this.$_.isMatch(self.get_settings.gallery_settings.general,self.initialSettings.gallery_settings.general) == false) {
self.settings_flags.general = 1;
} else {
self.settings_flags.general = 0;
}
}
}
}
It seems to me that your watcher is looking for a property 'general' that is a child of gallery_settings.
get_settings.gallery_settings.general
In the meantime in data you have a property general that is a child of 'settings_flags'. Those two don't line up. So make sure that either your watcher is looking for something that exists when the component starts up, or tell your watcher to only start watching ' get_settings.gallery_settings.general' when 'get_settings.gallery_settings' actually exists.
if (get_settings.gallery_settings) { do something } #pseudocode
I'm not sure that's your problem, but it might be.

i'm trying to watch an array declarated in data method (the 'validated' variable). I already have a watcher to an input (legal_name) and it works correctly but the array watcher doesnt give any response. Any idea?
export default {
data() {
return {
legal_name : '',
validated: [],
errors: []
}
},
watch: {
validated() {
console.log('modified')
},
legal_name(value) {
this.eventName();
this.legal_name = value;
this.checkLength(value, 3);
}
},
methods: {
checkLength(value, lengthRequired) {
if(value.length < lengthRequired) {
this.errors[name] = `Debes ingresar al menos ${lengthRequired} caracteres`;
this.validated[name] = false;
return false;
}
this.errors[name] = '';
this.validated[name] = true;
return true;
},
eventName() {
name = event.target.name;
}
}
}
You need to call Vue.set() for arrays, and NOT use indexing such as
foo[3]= 'bar'
Vue DOES recognize some operations, such as splice and push, however.
Read more about it here: https://vuejs.org/2016/02/06/common-gotchas/ and here: https://v2.vuejs.org/v2/guide/list.html#Array-Change-Detection
So for your code, and using the Vue handy helper method $set:
this.validated.$set(name, true);
Why...
Javascript does not offer a hook (overload) for the array index operator ([]), so Vue has no way of intercepting it. This is a limitation of Javascript, not Vue. Here's more on that: How would you overload the [] operator in javascript
I'm learning Vue and have been struggling to get the data from a computed property. I am retrieving comments from the store and them processing through a function called chunkify() however I'm getting the following error.
Despite the comments being computed correctly.
What am I doing wrong here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Home.vue
export default {
name: 'Home',
computed: {
comments() {
return this.$store.state.comments
},
},
methods: {
init() {
const comments = this.chunkify(this.comments, 3);
comments[0] = this.chunkify(comments[0], 3);
comments[1] = this.chunkify(comments[1], 3);
comments[2] = this.chunkify(comments[2], 3);
console.log(comments)
},
chunkify(a, n) {
if (n < 2)
return [a];
const len = a.length;
const out = [];
let i = 0;
let size;
if (len % n === 0) {
size = Math.floor(len / n);
while (i < len) {
out.push(a.slice(i, i += size));
}
} else {
while (i < len) {
size = Math.ceil((len - i) / n--);
out.push(a.slice(i, i += size));
}
}
return out;
},
},
mounted() {
this.init()
}
}
Like I wrote in the comments, the OPs problem is that he's accessing a store property that is not available (probably waiting on an AJAX request to come in) when the component is mounted.
Instead of eagerly assuming the data is present when the component is mounted, I suggested that the store property be watched and this.init() called when the propery is loaded.
However, I think this may not be the right approach, since the watch method will be called every time the property changes, which is not semantic for the case of doing prep work on data. I can suggest two solutions that I think are more elegant.
1. Trigger an event when the data is loaded
It's easy to set up a global messaging bus in Vue (see, for example, this post).
Assuming that the property is being loaded in a Vuex action,the flow would be similar to:
{
...
actions: {
async comments() {
try {
await loadComments()
EventBus.trigger("comments:load:success")
} catch (e) {
EventBus.trigger("comments:load:error", e)
}
}
}
...
}
You can gripe a bit about reactivity and events going agains the reactive philosophy. But this may be an example of a case where events are just more semantic.
2. The reactive approach
I try to keep computation outside of my views. Instead of defining chunkify inside your component, you can instead tie that in to your store.
So, say that I have a JavaScrip module called store that exports the Vuex store. I would define chunkify as a named function in that module
function chunkify (a, n) {
...
}
(This can be defined at the bottom of the JS module, for readability, thanks to function hoisting.)
Then, in your store definition,
const store = new Vuex.Store({
state: { ... },
...
getters: {
chunkedComments (state) {
return function (chunks) {
if (state.comments)
return chunkify(state.comments, chunks);
return state.comments
}
}
}
...
})
In your component, the computed prop would now be
computed: {
comments() {
return this.$store.getters.chunkedComments(3);
},
}
Then the update cascase will flow from the getter, which will update when comments are retrieved, which will update the component's computed prop, which will update the ui.
Use getters, merge chuckify and init function inside the getter.And for computed comment function will return this.$store.getters.YOURFUNC (merge of chuckify and init function). do not add anything inside mounted.
Following the tutorial at this web address http://stackabuse.com/single-page-apps-with-vue-js-and-flask-state-management-with-vuex/, I encountered a problem that the function in the computed property was not automatically invoked after the state in the store was changed. The relevant code is listed as following:
Survey.vue
computed: {
surveyComplete() {
if (this.survey.questions) {
const numQuestions = this.survey.questions.length
const numCompleted = this.survey.questions.filter(q =>q.choice).length
return numQuestions === numCompleted
}
return false
},
survey() {
return this.$store.state.currentSurvey
},
selectedChoice: {
get() {
const question = this.survey.questions[this.currentQuestion]
return question.choice
},
set(value) {
const question = this.survey.questions[this.currentQuestion]
this.$store.commit('setChoice', { questionId: question.id, choice: value })
}
}
}
When a radio button in the survey questions is chosen, selectedChoice will change the state in the store. However surveyComplete method was not called simultaneously. What's the problem? Thanks in advance!
surveyComplete() method does not 'spy' your store, it will be updated, when you change this.survey.questions only. So if you modify the store, nothing will happen inside surveyComplete. You may use the store inside the method.
As the title says, I'm trying to change the value of a prop/data in a component, but the trigger is being fired from outside the component, from something that has nothing to do with Vuejs.
Currently I trying to use a Simple State Manager, based on the docs from here, like so:
var store = {
debug: true,
state: {
progress: 23
},
setProgress (uff) {
if (this.debug) console.log(uff)
this.state.progress = uff
}
}
The documentation leads me to believe that if the value of progress is mutated, the value of my Vue instance would also change if I link them accordingly. But this doesn't work in a component (my guess would be it's cause it's a function).
This is part of my component:
Vue.component('transcoding', {
data () {
return {
progress: store.state.progress
}
},
template: `
<v-progress-circular
:size="130"
:width="25"
:value="progress"
color="teal"
>
{{progress}}
</v-progress-circular>
`
})
So, when I trigger a store.setProgress(value), nothing happens. The log messages do happen, but the state isn't updated in the component.
This is the script that's currently triggering the state change:
App.cable.subscriptions.create(
{ channel: "ProgressChannel", room: "2" },
{ received: function() {
store.setProgress(arguments[0])
}}
)
It's an ActionCable websocket in Ruby on Rails. The trigger works perfectly, but I just cannot make the connection between the state change and the component.
I tried loading this script in the mounted() event for the component, thinking I could reference the value like this:
Vue.component('transcoding', {
data () {
return {
progress: 0
}
},
template: `
<v-progress-circular
:size="130"
:width="25"
:value="progress"
color="teal"
>
{{progress}}
</v-progress-circular>
`,
methods: {
setProgress: function(uff) {
this.progress = uff
}
},
mounted() {
App.cable.subscriptions.create(
{ channel: "ProgressChannel", room: "2" },
{ received: function() {
this.setProgress(arguments[0])
}}
)
}
})
But this gives me an error saying that this.setProgress is not a function, which is obvious since I'm calling it within the create method of App.cable.subscriptions.
How can I make this work? I realize I'm mixing things with my question, but I wanted to illustrate what my goal is. I simply want to know how to make the component's progress data to update, either from the outside, or from the component itself if I can make it find the function.
You are initializing your data item to the value from the store:
data () {
return {
progress: store.state.progress
}
}
Changes to the store will not propagate to your data item. You could eliminate the data item and just use store.state.progress where you need it, or you could create an computed that returns its value if you want a local single-name handle for it.
In my reducer, suppose originally I have this state:
{
"loading": false,
"data": {
"-L1LwSwW97KkwdSnYvsc": {
"likeCount": 10,
"liked": false, // I want to update this property
"commentCount": 5
},
"-L1EY2_fqzn7sM1Mbf_F": {
"likeCount": 8,
"liked": true,
"commentCount": 22
}
}
}
Now, I want to update liked property inside -L1LwSwW97KkwdSnYvsc object, which is inside data object and make it true. This is what I've been trying, but apparently, it's wrong, because after I've updated the state, the componentWillReceiveProps function inside a component that listens to the state change does not get triggered:
var { data } = state;
data['-L1LwSwW97KkwdSnYvsc'].liked = !data['-L1LwSwW97KkwdSnYvsc'].liked;
return { ...state, data };
Could you please specify why it's wrong and how I should change it to make it work?
You're mutating state! When you destructure:
var { data } = state;
It's the same as:
var data = state.data;
So when you do:
data[…].liked = !data[…].liked
You're still modifying state.data which is in turn mutating state. That's never good - use some nested spread syntax:
return {
...state,
data: {
...state.data,
'-L1LwSwW97KkwdSnYvsc': {
...state.data['-L1LwSwW97KkwdSnYvsc'],
liked: !state.data['-L1LwSwW97KkwdSnYvsc'].liked
}
}
};
Using spread operator is good until you start working with deeply nested state and/or arrays(remember spread operator does a shallow copy only).
I would rather recommend you starting working with immutability-helper instead. It is a React recommendation and it will let your code more readable and bug free.
Example:
import update from "immutability-helper";
(...)
const toggleLike = !state.data["-L1LwSwW97KkwdSnYvsc"].liked
return update(state, {
data: {
"-L1LwSwW97KkwdSnYvsc": {
like: {
$set: toggleLike
}
}
}
})
