VueJS - trigger Modal from materializecss - materialize

Question

I am trying to trigger a modal from the materializecss framework within a VueJS-instance.
Both, VueJS and Materializecss, are implemented correct. On their own both frameworks work fine.
Clicking the open-button results in an error:
Uncaught TypeError: data[option] is not a function
at HTMLDivElement. (adminarea.js:24562)
at Function.each (adminarea.js:10567)
at jQuery.fn.init.each (adminarea.js:10356)
at jQuery.fn.init.Plugin [as modal] (adminarea.js:24556)
at Vue$3.showLoader (adminarea.js:21396)
at boundFn (adminarea.js:54956)
at HTMLButtonElement.invoker (adminarea.js:56467)
This is my Vue-Instance:
const app = new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: {
activeUser: {
username: '',
email: ''
},
},
methods: {
showLoader(){
$('#loaderModal').modal('open');
},
closeLoader(){
$('#loaderModal').modal('close');
}
},
mounted() {
// Get current User
axios.get('/api/currentUser')
.then(response => {
this.activeUser.username = response.data.username;
this.activeUser.email = response.data.email;
});
},
components: {
Admindashboard
}
});
And here is the part of my html-file with the modal structure:
<!-- Modal Structure -->
<div id="loaderModal" class="modal">
<div class="modal-content">
<h4>Fetching data..</h4>
<div class="progress">
<div class="indeterminate"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<button class="btn cyan waves-effect waves-cyan" v-on:click="showLoader">Open</button>
Any ideas? Thanks!

It seems I found an solution:
Nice to know for Laravel-users: for my current project I use Laravel 5.5 with Materializecss, VueJS and VueRouter but I think the solution is universal. Materializecss was installed via npm and has to be included into your application. I've required the css-framework within my ressources/assets/js/bootstrap.js:
...// more code
try {
window.$ = window.jQuery = require('jquery');
window.materialize = require('materialize-css');
} catch (e) {
console.log(e);
}
...// more code
Now you have to initialize the Modal-function on the mounted-event of your wrapping Vue-instance:
const app = new Vue({
router,
data: {
...
},
methods: {
testClick: function(){
console.log('Testklick-Call');
$('#modal1').modal('open');
}
},
mounted: function(){
console.log('Instance mounted');
$('.modal').modal();
}
}).$mount('#app');
The code above is placed within my ressources/assets/js/app.js and is packed by default by Laravel Mix but I think this is universal and also usable without Laravel Mix/Webpack etc.
Now you can call every modal programmatically from where ever you want. I've tested it in my main instance on a click-event. Function is placed in my Vue-instance (see above). HTML-Code see below:
<button v-on:click="testClick">Open Modal</button>
But you can also make use of the modal within a mounted-function or any other function of any component:
<template>
<div>
<p>I am an component!</p>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
mounted() {
console.log('Component mounted!');
$('#modal1').modal('open');
}
}
</script>
This also works, if the component becomes only visible after clicked on a link (using VueRouter).
Hopefully this helps someone except me :)

As suggested here, you need to add following code in the mounted block:
mounted() {
$('#loaderModal').modal(); //New line to be added
// Get current User
axios.get('/api/currentUser')
.then(response => {
this.activeUser.username = response.data.username;
this.activeUser.email = response.data.email;
});
},
