I have a component and want to add a click listener that runs a method in the parent template in Vue. Is this possible?
Relying on calling this.$parent
hides the dependency and will break when you use component libraries which create a longer child hierarchy
Passing props (parent-child)
var SomeComponentA = Vue.extend({
methods: {
someFunction: function () {
// ClassA some stuff
}
}
});
var SomeComponentB = Vue.extend({
props: [ 'someFunctionParent' ],
methods: {
someFunction: function () {
// Do your stuff
this.someFunctionParent();
}
}
});
and in the template of SomeComponentA:
Use Mixins
If this is common functionality that you want to use in other places, using a mixin might be more idiomatic:
var mixin = {
methods: {
someFunction: function() {
// ...
}
}
};
var SomeComponentA = Vue.extend({
mixins: [ mixin ],
methods: {
}
});
var SomeComponentB = Vue.extend({
methods: {
someFunctionExtended: function () {
// Do your stuff
this.someFunction();
}
}
});
