Focus input of freshly added item - vue.js

Question

So I have a list of items and list of inputs linked to each item via v-for and v-model.
I click a button and add new item to that list. I want to focus input which is linked to newly added item.
Can't figure out how to achieve this goal.
<div id="app">
<div v-for="item in sortedItems">
<input v-model="item">
</div>
<button #click="addItem">
add
</button>
</div>
new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: {
items: []
},
methods: {
addItem: function() {
this.items.push(Math.random());
}
},
computed: {
sortedItems: function() {
return this.items.sort(function(i1, i2) {
return i1 - i2;
})
}
}
})
Here's fiddle with sorted list

Update: inspired by pkawiak's comment, a directive-based solution. I found that calling focus in the bind section didn't work; I had to use nextTick to delay it.
Vue.directive('focus-on-create', {
// Note: using Vue 1. In Vue 2, el would be a parameter
bind: function() {
Vue.nextTick(() => {
this.el.focus();
})
}
})
new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: {
items: []
},
methods: {
addItem: function() {
this.items.push(Math.random());
}
},
computed: {
sortedItems: function() {
return this.items.sort(function(i1, i2) {
return i1 - i2;
})
}
}
})
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/1.0.26/vue.min.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<div v-for="item in sortedItems">
<input v-focus-on-create v-model="item">
</div>
<button #click="addItem">
add
</button>
</div>
Original answer:
Make your input a component so that you can give it a ready hook.
const autofocus = Vue.extend({
template: '<input v-model="item" />',
props: ['item'],
ready: function() {
this.$el.focus();
}
})
new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: {
items: []
},
methods: {
addItem: function() {
this.items.push(Math.random());
}
},
components: {
autofocus
},
computed: {
sortedItems: function() {
return this.items.sort(function(i1, i2) {
return i1 - i2;
})
}
}
})
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/1.0.26/vue.min.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<div v-for="item in sortedItems">
<autofocus :item="item"></autofocus>
</div>
<button #click="addItem">
add
</button>
</div>

I Like to extend #Roy's answer.
if you are using any UI framework then it will create DIV and within the DIV input tag will be created so this Snippet will handle that case.
Vue.directive('focus-on-create', {
bind: function(el) {
Vue.nextTick(() => {
el.querySelector('input').focus()
})
}
})
