I've got a doubt regarding if there's a way in Vue to do the same as a prop but in the inverse way. Let me explain a bit better, so for example, I've the following:
const app = Vue.createApp({
data: function() {
return {
text: "Hola"
}
},
template: `<div>
<child-input v-model:text="text"></child-input>
<input v-model="text" />
{{text}}
</div>`
})
In here if I define a prop in the child-input component with the name "text" I will have the exact same value as outside. Something like this:
const childInput = {
data() {
return { input: '' }
},
props : ['text'],
template: '<input type="text" v-model="outsideInput">',
created() {
this.input = this.text
}
}
And If I define now a watcher on the "text" variable to change the value of the input it does change. But now I would like to do the inverse, when the input of childInput (variable "input") changes, to propagate this change to the outsider input too.
You can emit event from child and update prop:
const app = Vue.createApp({
data: function() {
return {
text: "Hola"
}
},
template: `<div>
<child-input @text-changed="updateText" v-model:text="text"></child-input>
<input v-model="text" />
{{text}}
</div>`,
methods: {
updateText(val) {
this.text = val
}
}
})
app.component('childInput', {
props : ['text'],
template: '<div> child <input type="text" v-model="input"></div>',
computed : {
input: {
get(){
return this.text
},
set(newValue) {
this.$emit('textChanged', newValue)
}
}
},
})
app.mount("#demo")<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue@3/dist/vue.global.prod.js"></script>
<div id="demo"></div>
