My data object:
data: {
selected: {
\'type\': null,
\'instrument\': null
},
My template:
You can use deep
option provided by the watcher from vue. As stated in the docs:
To also detect nested value changes inside Objects, you need to pass in deep: true in the options argument. Note that you don’t need to do so to listen for Array mutations.
You code will look like following:
watch: {
'selected': {
handler: function (val, oldVal) {
console.log('watch 1', 'newval: ', val, ' oldVal:', oldVal)
},
deep: true
}
}
I think you can do this:
watch: {
$data: {
handler: function(val, oldVal) {
console.log(val)
},
deep: true
}
},
watch: {
'selected.type': function (newSelectedType) {
console.log(newSelectedType)
},
'selected.instrument': function (newSelectedinstrument) {
console.log(newSelectedinstrument)
}
}
If you are just trying to calculate a new data from selected
, you can just use computed properties, since the data of Vue are reactive, the computed properties can also detect the changes of data.
If you want to use a single function to watch the entire object, you can use $watch
with deep: true
:
mounted () {
this.$watch('$data.selected', this.onSelectedUpdate, { deep: true })
}
note that '$data.selected'
is a string, Vue will parse it.
and in your methods:
onSelectedUpdate (newSelected) {
console.log(newSelected)
}
