Trying to run Modal component VueJS in existing project - vue.js

Question

I made a separate .vue file, where I have put the "template" of the Modal Box and the required CSS(later I will move it to the main.css). The functionality which I need is - being on the main page Data.vue, the client clicks on the button and opens up a Modal Box, where he/she can write a message and send it to us.
modalTest.vue
<template>
<transition name="modal">
<div class="modal-mask">
<div class="modal-wrapper">
<div class="modal-container">
<div class="modal-header">
<slot name="header">
default header
</slot>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<slot name="body">
default body
</slot>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<slot name="footer">
default footer
<button class="modal-default-button" #click="$emit('close')">
OK
</button>
</slot>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</transition>
</template>
<style>
.modal-mask {
position: fixed;
z-index: 9998;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, .5);
display: table;
transition: opacity .3s ease;
}
.modal-wrapper {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.modal-container {
width: 300px;
margin: 0px auto;
padding: 20px 30px;
background-color: #fff;
border-radius: 2px;
box-shadow: 0 2px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, .33);
transition: all .3s ease;
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
}
.modal-header h3 {
margin-top: 0;
color: #42b983;
}
.modal-body {
margin: 20px 0;
}
.modal-default-button {
float: right;
}
.modal-enter {
opacity: 0;
}
.modal-leave-active {
opacity: 0;
}
.modal-enter .modal-container,
.modal-leave-active .modal-container {
-webkit-transform: scale(1.1);
transform: scale(1.1);
}
</style>
I added the button which I need to click in order to popup the Modal Box in one of the pages of the project.
Data.vue
<template>
...
a lot of divs
...
<button id="show-modal" #click="showModal = true">Show Modal</button>
...
</template>
<script>
export default {
}
</script>
And last but not least the
main.js
import modalTest from './components/modalTest'
Vue.component('modal', modalTest);
const app = new Vue({
el: '#app',
render: h => h(App),
router,
data: {
showModal: false
}
});
That's what I managed to do until now. However, when I click on the button, which is in the page Data.vue, nothing happens. Looking at the console there is no information regarding the problem. Maybe I am mistaken something very stupid, but I can't find anything wrong for now.

Answer 1

Putting the showModal: false in the return of data of the childs page fixed the problem :) Thanks to #Vamsi Krishna
