I have a component that accepts props
<BarChart
header="header name"
dataPoint="data_to_look_at"
size=35
/>
With the dataPoint prop I want to use this in my component so that I can use it (I think, idk if this is the right solution) in an interpolated string like this to access items in an object
// inside of a v-for loop that iterates over an object etc
{{ data[index].attributes.${dataPoint} }}
I'm not sure how to do this and of course the above doesn't work
Not relevant to my question
Not quite it either
How do interpolate a prop in a interpolation?
Observation : As you are iterating your item list by using v-for loop, No need to access the item by index. You can simply do like this :
<p v-for="data in items" :key="data.id">
{{ data.attributes[datapoint] }}
</p>
Live Demo :
Vue.component('child', {
data: function() {
return {
items: [{
id: 1,
attributes: {
name: 'Alpha'
}
}, {
id: 2,
attributes: {
name: 'Beta'
}
}, {
id: 3,
attributes: {
name: 'Gamma'
}
}]
}
},
props: ['header', 'datapoint'],
template: `<div>
<p v-for="data in items" :key="data.id">{{ data.attributes[datapoint] }}</p>
</div>`
});
var app = new Vue({
el: '#app'
});<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.17/vue.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<child header="Header Name" dataPoint="name"></child>
</div>
