refreshing v-for loop for a specific reason - vue.js

I am using a jquery plugin slider pro with my vue app. There is a problem I run into when calling destroy method of this plugin so that it destroys the instance of the plugin, the html classes added by this plugin are left in the html code. I would like to refresh my v-for rendering which would then automatically clean up whatever the slider pro has added to the html markup of slides.
Is is possible to refresh v-for loop so it re-renders? If yes how? If no, is there a dirty trick I could use to accomplish this?

Try assigning a new value to the array you're using to trigger a state update:
Vue.set(yourArray, 0, yourArray[0])

You can force the Vue to re-render using $forceUpdate.

How to work with vue.js and window.getSelection()?

Here is an example from some tutorial:
<p id="p">Example: <i>italic</i> and <b>bold</b></p>
<script>
let range = new Range();
range.setStart(p.firstChild, 2);
range.setEnd(p.querySelector('b').firstChild, 3);
alert(range); // ample: italic and bol
// use this range for selection (explained later)
window.getSelection().addRange(range);
</script>
How to do this with vue?
Should I use query selectors too?
I am interested how to do this selection manipulation within contenteditable. I can use "ref" for contenteditable container but inner content with bold, italic etc. tags is dynamic and mark this code with refs:
... <b><i>some text</i></b> ...
isn't appropriate.
If you're using the Selection API to manipulate the DOM (not just creating ranges, but adding/removing/modifing/reordering DOM nodes), then you should be doing those manipulations on DOM elements not managed by Vue. You must not modify parts of the DOM managed by Vue because Vue won't know about those changes and it will get confused when trying to patch the DOM during the next render cycle. Vue "owns" the rendered DOM of its components.
This doesn't mean you can't use the Selection API and Vue together, it just means you need to be careful not to tinker in the DOM willy-nilly.
Should I use query selectors too? Using p.querySelector('b').firstChild isn't vue way but I don't know what should I use insted
This rule only applies if you want to get a reference to a DOM node rendered by Vue. If the container were content editable, then its contents would not be managed by Vue and you would have no way of referencing its contents without using querySelector and other DOM functions. Try not to get caught up with "am I doing it the Vue-way?" when what you are trying to do is inherently not Vue related anyway.

How can i re-render all my components on a click function in vuejs

is it possible to re-render all my vue components on a click function
i have read aboutvm.$forceUpdate() but it dose not effect all child components.
is there any other way?
thank you all
You probably not doing things in vue way if you need that kind of functionality, but quick hack which might help you to achieve what you want is to refresh whole page via javascript. So inside click function insert this:
location.reload()
the problem was my function was not working because i wrote it in mounted, and i had to reload or re-render my page to make that function work
after i change my function to updated the problem was solved

Vuejs directive masonry detect prepend to array and redraw properly

I am using the vue-masonry plugin which let me create a masonry grid easily.
I created a system of infinite loading where you scroll to the bottom of the page and it append new pictures to an array binded with the vue-masonry plugin.
The problem happen when I created a system of polling for the new pictures that were upoaded by other users. Those new pictures need to be at the top of the masonry grid.
The plugin use two Vue Directive masonry (parent) and masonryTile (element). masonryTile has a v-for which loop through the array binded with my Vue instance (which does all the heavy lifting, preloading, sanityzing, etc...).
Is there a way in the directives to know the differences between something being appended or prepended? And try to react differently (I know masonry has some append/prepend method) but in here and with this plugin, the items where already added (at the beginning so the prepend works with Vue) but there's no masonry interaction nor redraw (I tried to use the prototype to trigger the redraw this.$redrawVueMasonry();).
So I don't know what's next to do. Continue finding a way to differentiate a prepend from a append and trying to bind it to the respective masonry's methods ? Or another method that I didn't think of...
Thanks in advance for you help
Ps : I don't think my code is really relevant since It's more a way to optimize the plugin. If you want some specific part of my code anymay, tell me in the comment !
This probably comes a bit too late, this being a 10 month old question.
However vue-masonry is able to handle situations where items are spliced anywhere in the array. But to properly update the grid this.$redrawVueMasonry() should be called inside this.$nextTick() like this:
this.$nextTick(() => this.$redrawVueMasonry());
Hope this helps, if not the original poster, someone else.

How to implement a loading screen for a SPA written in Vue.js?

I am new to Vue.js, coming from AngularJS 1. Does anybody have tips on how to implement a loading screen such as PleaseWait?
I also created an example that integrated with PleaseWait.js
http://codepen.io/CodinCat/pen/ZeKxgK?editors=1010
Since PleaseWait.js manipulates real DOM directly, the code becomes a little bit tricky. I'd recommend to re-implement this library in Vue.js. Vue does have transitions: https://v2.vuejs.org/v2/guide/transitions.html
You can just create a component for it, and use v-if to hide/show it
<loading-screen v-if="isLoading"></loading-screen>
A very simple example: http://codepen.io/CodinCat/pen/MpmVMp

Dojo and unregistering widgets

I am new to the Dojo Toolkit. I'm getting the error
Tried to register widget with id=myButton but that id is already registered
whenever I try to load dojo content twice (meaning I load HTML content through jQuery.Load into a container div). Is there a way of unregistering already registered widgets in dojo? I've seen some examples, but I don't really get them working.
My button:
<button dojoType="dijit.form.Button" id="myButton">button</button>
If you're looking to unregister specific widgets, you can use their destroy() or destroyRecursive() methods. The second one destroys any widgets inside the one you are destroying (i.e. calling destroyRecursive on a form widget will also destroy all the form components).
In your case, it sounds like your best bet would be to do this before jQuery.load -
var widgets = dijit.findWidgets(<containerDiv>);
dojo.forEach(widgets, function(w) {
w.destroyRecursive(true);
});
The above code will unregister all widgets in <containerDiv>, and preserve their associated DOM Nodes. To destroy the DOM nodes, pass false to destroyRecursive instead.
Reference:
http://dojotoolkit.org/api/1.3/dijit/_Widget/destroyRecursive
Based on http://bugs.dojotoolkit.org/ticket/5438, I found a sufficient way of destroying dojo-widgets:
dijit.registry.forEach(function(w){
w.destroy();
});
This worked for me:
dijit.byId( 'myButton' ).destroy( true );
I think you would be better off removing the id from your button and accessing it using an attach point. You would basically do <button dojoType="dijit.form.Button" data-dojo-attach-point="myButton">button</button>
then in your code you would access it like this.myButton.... however im not sure which version of dojo you are using. This will fix any id issues since dojo will assign a unique id to it automatically.
