So I am having an issue with passing down a prop from my parent view to another view, right now I am just testing using a simple variable but it doesn't seem to be picking it up... there are no errors or anything, it is just not displayed on my page.
Here is my parent code:
<template>
<v-app>
<Navbar v-bind:currency="currency"/>
<v-content class="mx-5 my-5" v-bind:currency="currency">
<router-view></router-view>
</v-content>
</v-app>
</template>
<script>
import Navbar from '#/components/Navbar'
export default {
name: 'App',
components: {
Navbar
},
data() {
return {
currency: "$ test"
}
},
};
</script>
And here is the code snippets from my child element:
export default {
name: "Home",
props: ['currency']
}
And where I use the currency:
<div class="text-center green--text font-weight-bold headline">{{ currency }}</div>
Can anyone see anything I have done wrong there as to why this element is not being picked up?
Kind Regards,
Josh
It should work fine, I don't see anything wrong with it: Here's a simple working reproduction. Check it with that to make sure there are no differences.

I have a database that has bootstrap-vue components stored and is being used in a vue component.
The data being served from the database is below.
<b-button>I am a test button</b-button>
This should be rendered and appear here in the vue component.
<div v-html="page.content"></div>
By using v-html I only see "I am a test button" when rendered and not the button itself. I have attempted to use the render method but it only outputs the above as a string and does not render an actual button.
Is it not possible to have bootstrap-vue components served dynamically from a database and then rendered? If it is, how could I go about achieving this?
This is the code I am using for the vue component below.
<template>
<b-row v-if="pageData">
<b-col lg="12" class="text-left"
v-for="page in pageData.pages"
:key="page.pageID">
<h1 v-html="page.title"></h1>
<sub v-html="page.subtitle"></sub>
<div v-if="page.heroImage">
<b-img-lazy :src="showImage(page.heroImage)" right thumbnail></b-img-lazy>
</div>
<div v-html="page.content"></div>
</b-col>
</b-row>
</template>
<script>
import { getData } from './mixins/getData';
export default {
name: 'ContentComponent',
mixins: [getData],
data: function() {
return {
pageData: null,
}
},
methods : {
showImage(image) {
if(image) {
return this.image = require('../assets/img/'+ image)
}
},
created() {
this._getData(this.$route.name,'pages');
}
}
</script>
I want to pass a boolean value from one of my views in a router-view up to the root App.vue and then on to one of the components in the App.vue. I was able to do it but I am facing an error:
Avoid mutating a prop directly since the value will be overwritten whenever the parent component re-renders. Instead, use a data or computed property based on the prop's value. Prop being mutated: "drawer"
Below is my code:
Home.vue:
<template>
<div class="home" v-on:click="updateDrawer">
<img src="...">
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: "Home",
methods:{
updateDrawer:function(){
this.$emit('updateDrawer', true)
}
};
</script>
The above view is in the router-view and I am getting the value in the App.vue below:
<template>
<v-app class="">
<Navbar v-bind:drawer="drawer" />
<v-main class=" main-bg">
<main class="">
<router-view v-on:updateDrawer="changeDrawer($event)"></router-view>
</main>
</v-main>
</v-app>
</template>
<script>
import Navbar from '#/components/Navbar'
export default {
name: 'App',
components: {Navbar},
data() {
return {
drawer: false
}
},
methods:{
changeDrawer:function(drawz){
this.drawer = drawz;
}
},
};
</script>
I am sending the value of drawer by binding it in the navbar component.
Navbar.vue:
<template>
<nav>
<v-app-bar app fixed class="white">
<v-app-bar-nav-icon
class="black--text"
#click="drawer = !drawer"
></v-app-bar-nav-icon>
</v-app-bar>
<v-navigation-drawer
temporary
v-model="drawer"
>
...
</v-navigation-drawer>
</nav>
</template>
<script>
export default {
props:{
drawer:{
type: Boolean
}
},
};
</script>
This will work one time and then it will give me the above error. I appreciate if any one can explain what should I do and how to resolve this issue.
In Navbar.vue you are taking the property "drawer" and whenever someone clicks on "v-app-bar-nav-icon" you change drawer to be !drawer.
The problem here is that you are mutating (changing the value) of a property from the child side (Navbar.vue is the child).
That's not how Vue works, props are only used to pass data down from parent to child (App.vue is parent and Navbar.vue is child) and never the other way around.
The right approach here would be: every time, in Navbar.vue, that you want to change the value of "drawer" you should emit an event just like you do in Home.vue.
Then you can listen for that event in App.vue and change the drawer variable accordingly.
Example:
Navbar.vue
<v-app-bar-nav-icon
class="black--text"
#click="$emit('changedrawer', !drawer)"
></v-app-bar-nav-icon>
App.vue
<Navbar v-bind:drawer="drawer" #changedrawer="changeDrawer"/>
I originally missed the fact that you also used v-model="drawer" in Navbar.vue.
v-model also changes the value of drawer, which again is something we don't want.
We can solve this by splitting up the v-model into v-on:input and :value like so:
<v-navigation-drawer
temporary
:value="drawer"
#input="val => $emit('changedrawer', val)"
>
Some sort of central state management such as Vuex would also be great in this scenario ;)
What you could do, is to watch for changes on the drawer prop in Navbar.vue, like so:
<template>
<nav>
<v-app-bar app fixed class="white">
<v-app-bar-nav-icon
class="black--text"
#click="switchDrawer"
/>
</v-app-bar>
<v-navigation-drawer
temporary
v-model="navbarDrawer"
>
...
</v-navigation-drawer>
</nav>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data () {
return {
navbarDrawer: false
}
},
props: {
drawer: {
type: Boolean
}
},
watch: {
drawer (val) {
this.navbarDrawer = val
}
},
methods: {
switchDrawer () {
this.navbarDrawer = !this.navbarDrawer
}
}
}
</script>
Home.vue
<template>
<div class="home">
<v-btn #click="updateDrawer">Updrate drawer</v-btn>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: 'Home',
data () {
return {
homeDrawer: false
}
},
methods: {
updateDrawer: function () {
this.homeDrawer = !this.homeDrawer
this.$emit('updateDrawer', this.homeDrawer)
}
}
}
</script>
App.vue
<template>
<v-app class="">
<Navbar :drawer="drawer" />
<v-main class="main-bg">
<main class="">
<router-view #updateDrawer="changeDrawer"></router-view>
</main>
</v-main>
</v-app>
</template>
<script>
import Navbar from '#/components/Navbar'
export default {
name: 'App',
components: { Navbar },
data () {
return {
drawer: false
}
},
methods: {
changeDrawer (newDrawer) {
this.drawer = newDrawer
}
}
}
</script>
This doesn't mutate the drawer prop, but does respond to changes.
I know that we can simply show the component output with <ComponentName/> inside the template,
but how do we access ComponentName html output outside the template like in data, methods, or during mounted
e.g. components/Test.vue
<template>
<div>I'm a test</div>
</template>
in another vue file pages/ViewTest.vue
import Test from '~/components/Test.vue'
export default {
components: {Test},
data() {
return {
test: Test
}
},
mounted: function() {
console.log( Test ) // Output is Test Component Object
console.log( this.test ) // Output is Test Component Object
}
}
The object from console log output seems to contain a lot of information and I can even see a render property from the object although when I try console.log( Test.render() ) its giving me error
So My question is how can I get the <div>I'm a test</div> from outside the template?
Appreciate any help or guidance
EDIT
I'm using vue-material-design-icons package for generating different svg icons,
and I can use it like below
<template>
<MapMarkerRadius/>
</template>
<script>
import MapMarkerRadius from 'vue-material-design-icons/MapMarkerRadius'
export default {
components: {MapMarkerRadius}
}
</script>
Now here's my main issue,
I have this component that generates an html
<template>
<div :class="'card'">
<div v-if="title" :class="'card-title'">
{{ title }}
</div>
<div :class="'card-content'">
<slot />
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: 'card',
props: {
title: {},
}
};
</script>
Then I'm using that card component like this on a different vue file
<template>
<card :title="'Title ' + MapMarkerRadius">
Test Content
</card>
</template>
<script>
import card from '~/components/Card'
import MapMarkerRadius from 'vue-material-design-icons/MapMarkerRadius'
export default {
components: {card, MapMarkerRadius}
};
</script>
and my problem here is that the output of the card title is Title [object]
Try to use ref in the root of the Test component like :
<template>
<div ref="test">I'm a test</div>
</template>
in other component do :
mounted: function() {
console.log( this.$refs.test )
}
No need to import the component.
The repo that you are using are single-file components that generates html through a single tag, so using
import MapMarkerRadius from 'vue-material-design-icons/MapMarkerRadius'
will enable you to use it in template as <map-marker-radius/>
That is why appending the string title and an object like "My Icon"+MapMarkerRadius will return the literal [object] as you've seen: "My Icon [object]"
You have 3 options to go through what you want:
Search for other repos that enable you to use easily material icons in other means;
You have access to the card component? You can use the class names of this repo instead rather than the svg version or the component itself: https://github.com/robcresswell/vue-material-design-icons/issues/12, add the class names to the props and add it to your component:
<card :title="'Title'" :icon_class="map-marker-radius">
Test Content
</card>
<div v-if="title" :class="'card-title'">
{{ title }} <div :class="icon_class"></div>
</div>
props: {
title: {},
icon_class: '',
}
You can use the MapMarkerRadius component directly in card component but only appears when you pass a certain criteria on the card component, such like:
main.vue
<template>
<card :title="'Title'" :icon="true" :icon_typename="'map-marker-radius'">
Test Content
</card>
</template>
<script>
import card from '~/components/Card'
export default {
components: {card}
};
</script>
with icon_typename as any name/keyword you'd like to use.
card.vue
<template>
<div :class="'card'">
<div v-if="title" :class="'card-title'">
{{ title }} <span v-if="icon_mmr"><map-marker-radius/></span>
</div>
<div :class="'card-content'">
<slot />
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import MapMarkerRadius from 'vue-material-design-icons/MapMarkerRadius'
export default {
name: 'card',
props: {
title: {},
icon: { default: false },
icon_typename: '',
icon_mmr: false,
},
mounted(){
if (this.icon && this.icon_typename === 'map-marker-radius') this.icon_mmr = true
},
components: { MapMarkerRadius },
};
</script>
The code is far from perfect but you can go from there to optimize further.
I'm trying to wrap my head around hoe Vue.js works, reading lots of documents and tutorials and taking some pluralsight classes. I have a very basic website UI up and running. Here's the App.vue (which I'm using kinda as a master page).
(To make reading this easier and faster, look for this comment: This is the part you should pay attention to)...
<template>
<div id="app">
<div>
<div>
<CommandBar />
</div>
<div>
<Navigation />
</div>
</div>
<div id="lowerContent">
<!-- This is the part you should pay attention to -->
<template v-if="showLeftContent">
<div id="leftPane">
<div id="leftContent">
<router-view name="LeftSideBar"></router-view>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<!-- // This is the part you should pay attention to -->
<div id="mainPane">
<div id="mainContent">
<router-view name="MainContent"></router-view>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</template>
And then in the same App.vue file, here's the script portion
<script lang="ts">
import { Component, Vue } from 'vue-property-decorator';
import CommandBar from './components/CommandBar.vue';
import Navigation from './components/Navigation.vue';
#Component({
components: {
CommandBar,
Navigation,
}
})
export default class App extends Vue {
data() {
return {
showLeftContent: true // <--- This is the part you should pay attention to
}
}
}
</script>
Ok, so the idea is, one some pages I want to show a left sidebar, but on other pages I don't. That's why that div is wrapped in <template v-if="showLeftContent">.
Then with the named <router-view>'s I can control which components get loaded into them in the `router\index.ts\ file. The routes look like this:
{
path: '/home',
name: 'Home',
components: {
default: Home,
MainContent: Home, // load the Home compliment the main content
LeftSideBar: UserSearch // load the UserSearch component in the left side bar area
}
},
So far so good! But here's the kicker. Some pages won't have a left side bar, and on those pages, I want to change showLeftContent from true to false. That's the part I can't figure out.
Let's say we have a "Notes" component that looks like this.
<template>
<div class="notes">
Notes
</div>
</template>
<script lang="ts">
import { Component, Prop, Vue } from 'vue-property-decorator';
#Component
export default class Notes extends Vue {
data() {
return {
showLeftContent: false // DOES NOT WORK
}
}
}
</script>
Obviously, I'm not handling showLeftContent properly here. It would seem as if the properties in data are scoped only to that component, which I understand. I'm just not finding anything on how I can set a data property in the App component and then change it in a child component when that child is loaded through a router-view.
Thanks!
EDIT:
I changed the script section of the Notes component from:
<script lang="ts">
import { Component, Prop, Vue } from 'vue-property-decorator';
#Component
export default class Notes extends Vue {
data() {
return {
showLeftContent: false // DOES NOT WORK
}
}
}
</script>
to:
<script lang="ts">
import { Component, Prop, Vue } from 'vue-property-decorator';
#Component
export default class Notes extends Vue {
mounted() {
this.$root.$data.showLeftContent = false;
}
}
</script>
And while that didn't cause any compile or runtime errors, it also didn't have the desired effect. On Notes, the left side bar still shows.
EDIT 2:
If I put an alert in the script section of the Notes component:
export default class Notes extends Vue {
mounted() {
alert(this.$root.$data.showLeftContent);
//this.$root.$data.showLeftContent = false;
}
}
The alert does not pop until I click on "Notes" in the navigation. But, the value is "undefined".
EDIT 3:
Struggling with the syntax here (keep in mind this is TypeScript, which I don't know very well!!)
Edit 4:
Inching along!
export default class App extends Vue {
data() {
return {
showLeftContent: true
}
}
leftContent(value: boolean) {
alert('clicked');
this.$root.$emit('left-content', value);
}
}
This does not result in any errors, but it also doesn't work. The event never gets fired. I'm going to try putting it in the Navigation component and see if that works.
As it says on #lukebearden answer you can use the emit event to pass true/false to the main App component on router-link click.
Assuming your Navigation component looks like below, you can do something like that:
#Navigation.vue
<template>
<div>
<router-link to="/home" #click.native="leftContent(true)">Home</router-link> -
<router-link to="/notes" #click.native="leftContent(false)">Notes</router-link>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
methods: {
leftContent(value) {
this.$emit('left-content', value)
}
}
}
</script>
And in your main App you listen the emit on Navigation:
<template>
<div id="app">
<div>
<Navigation #left-content="leftContent" />
</div>
<div id="lowerContent">
<template v-if="showLeftContent">
//...
</template>
<div id="mainPane">
//...
</div>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
//...
data() {
return {
showLeftContent: true
}
},
methods: {
leftContent(value) {
this.showLeftContent = value
}
}
};
</script>
A basic approach in a parent-child component relationship is to emit events from the child and then listen and handle that event in the parent component.
However, I'm not sure that approach works when working with the router-view. This person solved it by watching the $route attribute for changes. https://forum.vuejs.org/t/emitting-events-from-vue-router/10136/6
You might also want to look into creating a simple event bus using a vue instance, or using vuex.
If you'd like to access the data property (or props, options etc) of the root instance, you can use this.$root.$data. (Check Vue Guide: Handling Edge)
For your codes, you can change this.$root.$data.showLeftContent to true/false in the hook=mounted of other Components, then when Vue creates instances for those components, it will show/hide the left side panel relevantly.
Below is one demo:
Vue.config.productionTip = false
Vue.component('child', {
template: `<div :style="{'background-color':color}" style="padding: 10px">
Reach to root: <button #click="changeRootData()">Click me!</button>
<hr>
<slot></slot>
</div>`,
props: ['color'],
methods: {
changeRootData() {
this.$root.$data.testValue += ' :) '
}
}
})
new Vue({
el: '#app',
data() {
return {
testValue: 'Puss In Boots'
}
}
})
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.16/vue.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<h2>{{testValue}}</h2>
<child color="red"><child color="gray"><child color="green"></child></child></child>
</div>
In a Vue 2.0 app, let's say we have components A, B and C.
A declares, registers and uses B
Is it possible to pass C from A to B?
Something like this:
<template>
<div class="A">
<B :child_component="C" />
</div>
</template>
And use C in B somehow.
<template>
<div class="B">
<C>Something else</C>
</div>
</template>
The motivation: I want to create a generic component B that is used in A but receives from A its child C. Actually A will use B several times passing different 'C's to it.
If this approach is not correct, what is the proper way of doing it in Vue?
Answering #Saurabh
Instead of passing as props, I tried the suggestion inside B.
<!-- this is where I Call the dynamic component in B -->
<component :is="child_component"></component>
//this is what I did in B js
components: {
equip: Equipment
},
data () {
return {
child_component: 'equip',
_list: []
}
}
Basically I'm trying to render Equipment, but the dynamic way
I get 3 errors in console and a blank page
[Vue warn]: Error when rendering component at /home/victor/projetos/tokaai/public/src/components/EquipmentFormItem.vue:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined
TypeError: Cannot read property 'setAttribute' of undefined
Apparently I'm doing something wrong
Summing up:
<!-- Component A -->
<template>
<div class="A">
<B>
<component :is="child_component"></component>
</B>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import B from './B.vue';
import Equipment from './Equipment.vue';
export default {
name: 'A',
components: { B, Equipment },
data() {
return { child_component: 'equipment' };
}
};
</script>
<!-- Component B -->
<template>
<div class="B">
<h1>Some content</h1>
<slot></slot> <!-- Component C will appear here -->
</div>
</template>
You can use special attribute is for doing this kind of thing. Example of dynamic component and its usage can be found here.
You can use the same mount point and dynamically switch between multiple components using the reserved element and dynamically bind to its is attribute.
Here's how is can be used with either an imported component or one passed as a prop:
<template>
<div class="B">
<component :is="myImportedComponent">Something</component>
--- or ---
<component :is="myPassedComponent">Something else</component>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import myImportedComponent from "#/components/SomeComponent.vue"
export default {
props: {
myPassedComponent: Object
},
components: {
myImportedComponent
},
}
</script>
Here's solution to forward custom component through props of another component
:is is special attribute and it will be used to replace your actual component and it will be ignored if you try to use it as a prop in your component. Luckily you can use something else like el and then forward this to component like so:
<template>
<div>
<component :is="el">
<slot />
</component>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: 'RenderDynamicChild',
props: {
el: {
type: [String, Object],
default: 'div',
},
},
}
</script>
Any valid element you use in el attribute will be used as a child component. It can be html or reference to your custom component or div by default as specified in component declaration.
Passing custom component to prop is little bit tricky. One would assume you declare in a components property of parent component and then use it for el attribute but this doesn't work. Instead you need to have your dynamic component in data or computed property so you can use it in a template as a prop. Also note AnotherComponent doesn't need to be declared in components property.
<template>
<RenderDynamicChild :el="DynamicComponent">
Hello Vue!
</RenderDynamicChild>
</template>
<script>
import RenderDynamicChild from './DynamicChild';
import AnotherComponent from './AnotherComponent';
export default {
name: "ParentComponent",
components: { DynamicChild },
data() {
return {
DynamicComponent: AnotherComponent,
};
},
};
</script>
Using computed property for your dynamic component allows you to switch between components easily:
<script>
import DynamicChild from './DynamicChild';
import AnotherComponent from './AnotherComponent';
export default {
name: "ParentComponent",
components: { DynamicChild },
data() { return { count: 0 } },
computed: {
DynamicComponent() {
return this.count % 2 > 1 ? AnotherComponent : 'article';
},
},
};
</script>
Increase this.count to alternate between AnotherComponent and simple article html element.
Maybe it's too late to answer this question. But I think it could help others with this same issue.
I've been looking for a way to pass components throw others in vue, but it looks that VUE3 have a approach for that using named slots:
Here it's the documentation about that:
https://v3.vuejs.org/guide/component-slots.html#named-slots
Basically you can have:
<template>
<div class="A">
<slot name="ComponentC"></slot> <!-- Here will be rendered your ComponentC -->
</div>
<div class="A">
<slot name="ComponentD"></slot> <!-- Here will be rendered your ComponentD -->
</div>
<div class="A">
<slot></slot> <!-- This is going to be children components -->
</div>
</template>
And from your B component
<template>
<div class="B">
<A>
<template v-slot:ComponentC>
<h1>Title of ComponentC </h1>
</template>
<template v-slot:ComponentD>
<h1>Title of ComponentD </h1>
</template>
<template v-slot:default>
<h1>Title of child component </h1>
</template>
</A>
</div>
</template>
If you would like to use another component within your functional component you can do the following:
<script>
import Vue from 'vue'
import childComponent from './childComponent'
Vue.component('child-component')
export default {}
</script>
<template functional>
<div>
<child-component/>
</div>
</template>
Reference:
https://github.com/vuejs/vue/issues/7492#issue-290242300
If you mean Dynamically importing a component in a parent component, so yes, you can do that in Vue3 using:
<component :is="child_component" />
but to render "child_component" itself dynamically, you can use
import { defineAsyncComponent } from 'vue'
const AsyncComp = defineAsyncComponent(() =>
import('./components/MyComponent.vue')
)
Let me give you an example:
let's say you have several multiple child components (ChildA, ChildB, ChildC) that you want to load dynamically based on what you pass to the parent component (Parent), so the Parent component will be something like this:
Parent
<script setup lang="ts">
import { defineAsyncComponent } from 'vue';
const props = defineProps<{
childComponent?: string;
}>();
const AsyncComp = defineAsyncComponent(() =>
import(`./${props.childComponent}.vue`)
)
</script>
<template>
<component :is="AsyncComp"/>
</template>
and then you can call the Parent component dynamically wherever you want like this:
<Parent :childComponent="child-a"/>
<Parent :childComponent="child-b"/>
<Parent :childComponent="child-c"/>
For a better explanation, you can check this article:
