I have component child Input:
<template>
<div class="basic-input-outer" :style="styles">
<p class="paragraph-small">{{ title }}</p>
<input ref="name" :type="type" class="basic-input">
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: "Input",
props: ['type', 'styles', 'title', 'focus'],
watch: {
focus: function() {
this.setFocus()
}
},
methods: {
setFocus() {
this.$refs.name.focus()
}
}
}
</script>
<style lang="scss">
@import "../assets/css/components/Input";
</style>
And I have parent component where I work with this input:
<div class="login-options">
<p class="choose" @click="chooseLogin('email')">With Email</p>
<div class="vertical-line" />
<p class="choose" @click="chooseLogin('phone')">With Phone Number</p>
</div>
<div v-if="loginWithEmail">
<Input :focus="emailFocus" :title="'Email'" :type="'email'" />
</div>
<div v-else>
<Input :focus="phoneFocus" :title="'Phone number'" :type="'email'" />
</div>
...
chooseLogin(option) {
if (option === 'email') {
this.loginWithEmail = true
this.emailFocus = true
} else {
this.loginWithEmail = false
this.phoneFocus = true
}
}
So, the problem is, when I trigger the function it only focuses one time on one field, and then stops. I want to make that focus props works that way, so when it's triggered, the field will be focused, and it will be working not just one time, like in this case.
Here is solution. Actually, it was because v-if. v-if just remove element(-s) from DOM, so, the best way to solve such problems is to use conditional styling with display: none:
Input:
<template>
<div class="basic-input-outer" :style="styles">
<p class="paragraph-small">{{ title }}</p>
<input ref="name" :type="type" class="basic-input">
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: "Input",
props: ['type', 'styles', 'title', 'focus'],
watch: {
focus: function() {
if (this.focus) this.$refs.name.focus()
}
}
}
</script>
<style lang="scss">
@import "../assets/css/components/Input";
</style>
And parent component:
<Input :style="[!loginWithEmail ? {'display': 'none'} : {'': ''}]" :focus="emailFocus" :title="'Email'" :type="'email'" />
<Input :style="[loginWithEmail ? {'display': 'none'} : {'': ''}]" :focus="phoneFocus" :title="'Phone number'" :type="'email'" />
...
chooseLogin(option) {
if (option === 'email') {
this.loginWithEmail = true
this.emailFocus = true
this.phoneFocus = false
} else {
this.loginWithEmail = false
this.emailFocus = false
this.phoneFocus = true
}
}
