Answer 1

@Dan Levin 's answer works.

methods: {
fecthData() {
    this.data ={ ... }; // assume the fetched data have changed DOM here.

    this.$nextTick(() => {
      console.log(this.$refs); // returns obj
      console.log(this.$refs.target); // returns el
    });
}

this works also with v-for.
