Vue custom filtering input component - vue.js

Question

I'am trying to create a component that have 'just' an text input. String typed in this input will be used to filter a list. My problem is that I cannot handle how to share this filter string between my component and the main app that contains the list to filter.
I tried several things and most of the time I get the error :
Avoid mutating a prop directly since the value will be overwritten whenever the parent component re-renders. Instead, use a data or computed property based on the prop's value
So I looked Vuex but I thinks it cannot help in this case because I can have several filter component used in he same page for different list, and I don't want them to be synchronized ^^
Here is what I have:
The filter component
<script type="x/template" id="filterTpl">
<div>
<span class="filter-wrapper">
<input type="search" class="input input-filter" v-model.trim="filter" />
</span>
</div>
</script>
<script>
Vue.component('list-filter', {
props: {
filter: String
}
template: '#filterTpl'
});
</script>
And my main app:
<div id="contacts">
<list-filter :filter="filter"></list-filter>
<ul class="contacts-list managed-list flex">
<li class="contact" v-for="contactGroup in filteredData">
[...]
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<script>
var contactsV = new Vue({
el: '#contacts',
data: {
filter: "",
studyContactsGroups: []
},
computed: {
filteredData: function(){
// Using this.filter to filter the studyContactsGroups data
[...]
return filteredContacts;
}
}
});
</script>
Thanks for any help or tips :)

You can synchronize child value and parent prop either via explicit prop-event connection or more concise v-bind with sync modifier:
new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: {
rawData: ['John', 'Jane', 'Jim', 'Eddy', 'Maggy', 'Trump', 'Che'],
filter: ''
},
components: {
'my-input' : {
// bind prop 'query' to value and
// #input update parent prop 'filter' via event used with '.sync'
template: `<input :value="query" #input="updateFilter">`,
props: ['query'],
methods: {
updateFilter: function(e) {
this.$emit('update:query', e.target.value) // this is described in documentation
}
}
}
},
computed: {
filteredData: function() {
// simple filter function
return this.rawData.filter(el => el.toLowerCase()
.match(this.filter.toLowerCase()))
}
}
});
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue/dist/vue.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<my-input :query.sync="filter"></my-input>
<hr>
<ul>
<li v-for="line in filteredData">{{ line }}</li>
</ul>
</div>
