Let's say there is a component with multiple reactive data. How can we reset them back to the initial state?
<script setup>
const var_a = ref("");
const var_b = ref([]);
const var_c = ref({});
const var_d = ref(false);
const var_e = ref(1);
const var_f = ref("a");
...
</script>
In vue 2 we could do that by just using Object.assign() with an object and simply re/define it to data() whenever needed.
<script>
function initialData (){
return {
var_a: "",
var_b: [],
var_c: {},
var_d: false,
var_e: 1,
var_f: "a",
}
}
export default {
data: function (){
return initialState();
},
methods:{
resetData: function (){
Object.assign(this.$data, initialData());
}
}
}
</script>
But in vue 3 it does not work that way.
I could declare all the component data on to const state then loop trough it but it does not feel like a convenient way.
So what would be the best way to reset those on vue 3?
If the whole state needs to be reset, it shouldn't be defined separately. Instead, it's defined as reactive object:
const state = reactive(initialState());
It can be reset the same way as before:
Object.assign(state, initialState());
The state can be used separately if needed:
const { var_a } = toRefs(state);
