I'm having some trouble trying to access an API to get or fetch data. I'm still currently new to vue.js and javascript. I'm getting an error Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid shorthand property initializer. I can't seem to understand what the error means or seems to indicate.
<body>
<div id="vue-app">
{{ articles }}
</div>
<body>
var article = new Vue({
el: '#vue-app',
data: {
articles = ''
},
created: function () {
this.fetchData();
},
methods: {
fetchData: function () {
var that = this
this.$http.get('localhost/aim-beta/rest/export/json/article'),
function (data) {
vm.articles = data.main.temp;
}
}
}
});
Instead of using this.$http, use axios library for making api calls.
I think you can't use equal in the JS object syntax
data: {
articles = ''
}
Try
data: function() {
return () {
articles: ‘’
}
}
And specify http:// to the localhost
this.$http.get('http://localhost/aim-beta/rest/export/json/article'),
function (data) {
this.articles = data.json()
}
Use this for the data JSON object:
data: {
articles: ''
}
Then, use Promise for firing the HTTP request (note that I used the http:// with the URL):
this.$http.get('http://localhost/aim-beta/rest/export/json/article')
.then(function(response){
this.articles = response.json();
});

OK. I'm not a total newbie and do have some Vue xp but this is bugging me. What really obvious thing am I missing.
I have an object loaded via an ajax call inside a mounted method:
job: {
"title": "value",
"location": {
"name":"HONG KONG"
}
}
When I call {{ job.title }} all good. When I call {{ job.location.name }} I have an undefined error but the value renders. When I call {{ job.location }} I get the json object so it is defined.
Aaargh! I'm sure it's really simple but can't possibly see why this isn't as straight forward as it should be.
// Additional
This is my entire Vue class
const router = new VueRouter({
mode: 'history',
routes: []
});
const app = new Vue( {
router,
el: '#app',
data: {
job: {}
},
mounted: function () {
var vm = this
jQuery.ajax({
url: 'https://xxx' + this.jobId,
method: 'GET',
success: function (data) {
vm.job = data;
},
error: function (error) {
console.log(error);
}
});
},
computed: {
jobId: function() {
return this.$route.query.gh_jid
}
}
})
When your component renders it tries to get value from job.location.name but location is undefined before ajax request is completed. So I guess error is kind of Cannot read property 'name' of undefined.
To fix this you can define computed property locationName and return, for example, empty string when there is no loaded job object yet:
computed:{
//...
locationName() {
return this.job.location ? this.job.location.name : '';
}
}
Or you can define computed for location and return empty object if there is no location, or you can just add empty location object to your initial data(if you are sure that your API response always has location) like job: { location: {}} all ways will fix your issue.
Also there is a way to fix it with v-if directive in your template:
<div v-if="job.location">
{{ job.location.name }}
<!-- other location related stuff -->
</div>
An ES6 solution for you:
computed: {
getJobName(){
return this.job?.location.name
}
}

I'm trying to get a simple Vue+Firebase app running that allows you to send strings to the firebase database and have the messages be displayed using the "v-for" directive. However, I keep getting the error
Property or method "messages" is not defined on the instance but referenced during render
even though I'm pretty sure I'm using the correct syntax based on Vue's example on their site and the Vuefire github page to link up messages to the database. I can push to the database just fine, but for some reason I can't read the data from the database. I've been unable to get this to work for about a day and at this point any help is appreciated.
Here is my code for reference:
index.html:
<head>
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/5.2.0/firebase.js"></script>
<script>
// Initialize Firebase
var config = { ... };
firebase.initializeApp(config);
</script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue/dist/vue.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="app">
<input type="text" v-model="message" placeholder="Type a message!">
<button v-on:click="sendData">Send Data</button>
<br>
<h3 v-for="msg in messages">{{msg.value}}</h3>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="app.js"></script>
</body>
app.js:
var messageRef = firebase.database().ref('local/responses');
var app = new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: function () {
return {
message: ''
}
},
firebase: function () {
return {
messages: messageRef
}
},
methods: {
sendData: function () {
messageRef.push(this.message);
this.message = '';
}
}
});
You need to include the messages property in both the firestore return function as a database reference, as well as the data return function as an empty array for the database to bind to, as such.
var app = new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: function () {
return {
message: '',
messages: []
}
},
firebase: function () {
return {
messages: firebase.database().ref('local/responses')
}
},
methods: {
sendData: function () {
messageRef.push(this.message);
this.message = '';
}
}
});
This happens because you're trying to bind the Firestore reference to a piece of data that doesn't exist within your Vue instance, it needs that empty array for it to bind to the data property.
Running into a snag with trying to integrate my API with Vue/Axios. Basically, Axios is getting the data (it DOES console.log what I want)... But when I try to get that data to my empty variable (in the data object of my component) to store it, it throws an "undefined at eval" error. Any ideas on why this isn't working for me? Thanks!
<template>
<div class="wallet-container">
<h1 class="title">{{ title }}</h1>
<div class="row">
{{ thoughtWallet }}
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import axios from 'axios';
export default {
name: 'ThoughtWallet',
data () {
return {
title: 'My ThoughtWallet',
thoughtWallet: [],
}
},
created: function() {
this.loadThoughtWallet();
},
methods: {
loadThoughtWallet: function() {
this.thoughtWallet[0] = 'Loading...',
axios.get('http://localhost:3000/api/thoughts').then(function(response) {
console.log(response.data); // DISPLAYS THE DATA I WANT
this.thoughtWallet = response.data; // THROWS TYPE ERROR: Cannot set property 'thoughtWallet' of undefined at eval
}).catch(function(error) {
console.log(error);
});
}
}
}
</script>
Because you're using .then(function(..) { }) this won't refer to the vue context this.
You have two solutions, one is to set a variable that references the this you want before the axios call, e.g.:
var that = this.thoughtWallet
axios.get('http://localhost:3000/api/thoughts').then(function(response) {
console.log(response.data); // DISPLAYS THE DATA I WANT
that = response.data; // THROWS TYPE ERROR: Cannot set property 'thoughtWallet' of undefined at eval
}).catch(function(error) {
console.log(error);
});
The other is to use the new syntax (for which you need to make sure your code is transpiled correctly for browsers that don't support it yet), which allows you to access this inside the scoped body of the axios then.
axios.get('http://localhost:3000/api/thoughts').then((response) => {
console.log(response.data); // DISPLAYS THE DATA I WANT
this.thoughtWallet = response.data; // THROWS TYPE ERROR: Cannot set property 'thoughtWallet' of undefined at eval
}).catch(function(error) {
console.log(error);
});
The reason this happens is because inside that function/then, this will be referring to the context of the function, hence there won't be a thoughtWallet property
this.thoughtWallet inside the .get method is referring to the axios object, not Vue's. You can simply define Vue's this on the start:
methods: {
loadThoughtWallet: function() {
let self = this;
this.thoughtWallet[0] = 'Loading...',
axios.get('http://localhost:3000/api/thoughts').then(function(response) {
console.log(response.data); // DISPLAYS THE DATA I WANT
self.thoughtWallet = response.data;
}).catch(function(error) {
console.log(error);
});
}
}
I am working locally on a Laravel 5.5 project which uses Vue.js 2.5.9 on with XAMP Server.
I have to load some information to the DOM and refresh it when click "Refresh" button.
Sometimes the information is loaded and well displayed but sometimes they are not (some of the responses are):
Error 429: { "message": "Too Many Attempts." }
Error 500: { "message": "Server Error." }
I managed to "solve" the first issue (error 429) by increasing the Middleware throttle in Kernel.php from 'throttle:60,1', to 100,1)
But the second error I am not sure why I am get it sometimes and sometimes not.
I have this in my APIController (for example):
public function users()
{
$users = User::all();
return response()->json($users);
}
Then in app.js I call the methods in the created hook like this:
const app = new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: {
...
totalUsers: 0,
...
},
created: function() {
...
this.loadUsers();
...
},
methods: {
...
loadUsers: function() {
axios.get('/api/admin/users')
.then(function (response) {
app.totalUsers = response.data.length;
});
},
refreshData: function() {
this.loadUsers():
},
...
}
});
Maybe should I replace $users = User::all() to $users = User::count() to avoid loading "too much data" in API requests?
I think you should be using mounted() instead of created() in your vue.
const app = new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: {
...
totalUsers: 0,
...
},
mounted: function() {
...
this.loadUsers();
...
},
methods: {
...
loadUsers: function() {
axios.get('/api/admin/users')
.then(function (response) {
app.totalUsers = response.data.length;
});
},
refreshData: function() {
this.loadUsers():
},
...
}
});
that's the equivalent of the $(document).on(ready) in jQuery. Thats the method that fires when the window has fully loaded.
On a side note, Laravel knows when it is returning json as an ajax response, so you could probably just amend you controller method to this
public function users()
{
return User::all();
}
I have got a undefined when I alert the param fetching from ajax using vue.js, here is my code.
test.json return:
[
{isActive: false,name: test}
]
js:
new Vue({
el: '#viewport',
data: {
test_data: []
},
mounted: function () {
this.fetchTestData();
},
methods: {
fetchTestData: function () {
$.get(test.json, function (data) {
this.test_data = data;
alert(this.test_data.isActive);
});
}
}
});
I am beginner of vue.js, hope have a reply, thanks.
If you are fetching this data from that test.json file,
first it need to be like that because that's not validate json:
[
{
"isActive": false,
"name": "test"
}
]
and you need to use bind because this not referring to the Vue instance
fetchTestData: function () {
$.get('test.json', function (data) {
this.test_data = data;
alert(this.test_data[0].isActive);
}.bind(this));
}
and accessing the data like that this.test_data[0].isActive because it's an array
