I'm working with BootstrapVue.
I have a method in my parent.vue where I pass a value (this.propsIndex) to my child.vue.
Now I want to use this value each time it will be clicked in a method of my child.vue - but how can I trigger my function and make it working?
Thank You very much!
If it's possible I want to avoid using watch
my parent.vue
<template>
<div v-for="(id, index) in inputs" :key="index">
<b-button @click="deleteViaIndex(index)">Delete</b-button>
<child :indexProps="indexProps" />
</div>
<div>
<b-button @click="addInput()">Add Input</b-button>
</div>
</template>
<script>
methods: {
deleteViaIndex(index) {
this.propsIndex= index;
},
addInput() {
this.inputs.push({})
},
},
data() {
return {
inputs: [{}],
propsIndex: '',
}
}
</script>
my child.vue (script)
props: ["propsIndex"],
methods: {
deleteViaParentIndex() {
//HERE I WANT TO USE IT EVERY TIME IT WILL BE CLICKED IN MY PARENT.VUE
//BUT FOR NOW IT'S NOT DOING ANYTHING WHEN I CONSOLE.LOG(this.propsIndex)
}
}
Looks like a naming mismatch. In a child component, you have a prop propsIndex, yet in a parent template you are passing indexProps.
When passing props, you have to remember, that prop name is always in the first part, and the value you are passing should go next. https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/components-props.html#Passing-Static-or-Dynamic-Props
Furthermore, since HTML attribute names are case-insensitive, you should pass a prop this way:
<child :props-index="indexProps" />
Aside from the naming mismatch mentioned by Marcin, you can access a child component from a parent component using a ref in the template:
<child ref="childrenComponents" :props-index="propsIndex" />
Since you have multiple of the child components inside a v-for, this makes the childrenComponents in $refs an array of components. To call deleteViaParentIndex on all of them, you need to iterate through them:
deleteViaIndex(index) {
this.propsIndex = index;
this.$refs.childrenComponents.forEach(child => child.deleteViaParentIndex());
}
There's one more optimization you can make.
Since you're using propsIndex only to pass an index that the child component uses, and you already have the index as a param in deleteViaIndex, you can simply pass that to the child as a param during the deleteViaParentIndex function call, thus removing the need for the propsIndex data altogether:
in parent.vue:
deleteViaIndex(index) {
this.$refs.childrenComponents.forEach(child => child.deleteViaParentIndex(index));
}
in child.vue:
deleteViaParentIndex(index) {
// operations using index
}
