I'm trying to set a the value in an input with Vue by using a v-model. I am using the Vue Typeahead library. The issue I'm having is that when I click on an item that I want to select I fire an Onhit method, in this method I change the value of query to update the input value. Inside the Onhit() method this does not work however it will change if I change it in the created() method.
I can confirm that when I console.log() this.query I am getting the new value. It's just not being dynamically updated.
<template>
<div>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text"
class="form-control"
autocomplete="off"
v-model="query"
#keydown.down="down"
#keydown.up="up"
#keydown.enter="hit"
#keydown.esc="reset"
#blur="reset"
#input="update"
v-bind:placeholder="selectedLocation"/>
<span class="input-group-addon">
<i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin" v-if="loading"></i>
<template v-else>
<i class="fa fa-search" v-show="isEmpty"></i>
<i class="fa fa-times" v-show="isDirty" #click="reset"></i>
</template>
</span>
</div>
<!-- the list -->
<ul v-show="hasItems">
<li v-for="(item, $item) in items" :class="activeClass($item)" #mousedown="hit" #mousemove="setActive($item)">
<span v-html="item.city"></span>
<div class="meta-location-data"><span v-html="item.region"></span><span>, </span><span v-html="item.country"></span></div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import VueTypeahead from 'vue-typeahead';
export default {
extends: VueTypeahead,
props: ['selectedLocation'],
create() {
// This works
this.query = 'test';
}
data () {
return {
// The source url
// (required)
src: '/api/test/',
// The data that would be sent by request
// (optional)
data: {},
// Limit the number of items which is shown at the list
// (optional)
limit: 5,
// The minimum character length needed before triggering
// (optional)
minChars: 3,
// Highlight the first item in the list
// (optional)
selectFirst: false,
// Override the default value (`q`) of query parameter name
// Use a falsy value for RESTful query
// (optional)
queryParamName: false
}
},
methods: {
// The Item that the user clicks on (required)
onHit (item) {
// This does not work :(
this.query = item.city;
this.$emit('location-was-changed', item);
},
// The callback function which is triggered when the response data are received (optional)
prepareResponseData (data) {
let testData = [{
city: 'Zamin Sukhteh',
region: 'Khuzestan',
country: 'Iran'
},
{
city: 'Azreh-ye ‘Abbasabad',
region: 'Khuzestan',
country: 'Iran'
},
{
city: 'Avondale',
region: 'Auckland',
country: 'New Zealand'
},
{
city: 'Elsio',
region: '',
country: 'Fiji'
}];
return testData
.filter((location) => {
// Just get the data we want
return location.country.includes(this.query)
|| location.city.includes(this.query)
|| location.region.includes(this.query)
});
}
}
}
</script>
<style scoped src="./typeahead.scss"></style>
Found the issue, The vue-typeahead library calls a reset function after the onhit fires which resets the query back to null.
You can fix this by adding
reset: function reset() {
this.items = [];
this.loading = false;
}
To your methods (it overwrites the default one). You may also be able to assign a different variable to the v-model.

I'm trying create a follow button on list items in Vue. My strategy is to grab the value of a particular list item property and store it in the data object. Then use this value in a method to add it to an array in my database.
<div v-for="result in results" :key="result.symbol">
{{ result.name }}
<button #click="followStock">+follow</button>
</div>
I'm not sure how to get the value of result.symbol "into" the button element to set the value symbol in the data object below.
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
results: [ // this is populated by an api call
{
currency: "USD"
exchangeShortName: "NYSE"
name: "International Game Technology PLC"
stockExchange: "NYSE"
symbol: "IGT"
},
{...},
...
],
symbol: "",
};
},
followStock() {
// add this.symbol to database array
},
},
};
</script>
I'm guessing there might be an easier strategy I'm overlooking as I'm still new to Vue, so any other solution that essentially allows me to fire off the value of result.symbol from any rendered result to my database would be awesome.
You can just pass the result as a parameter to your method.
<div v-for="result in results" :key="result.symbol">
{{ result.name }}
<button #click="followStock(result)">+follow</button>
</div>
And in your method:
methods: {
followStock(result) {
// do something with result
console.log({result});
let symbol = result.symbol;
},
}
P.S I didn't see you put your followStock() inside a methods object, but I did so in the example. https://v2.vuejs.org/v2/api/#methods
Write directly as a function call.
The vue compiler will turn followStock(result.symbol) into function(event) {followStock(result.symbol)}.
new Vue({
el: '#app',
data() {
return {
results: [
{
name: "International Game Technology PLC",
symbol: "IGT"
},
{
name: "A name",
symbol: "A symbol"
}
]
};
},
methods: {
followStock(symbol) {
console.log(symbol)
},
}
})
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.17/vue.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<div v-for="result in results" :key="result.symbol">
{{ result.name }}
<button #click="followStock(result.symbol)">+follow</button>
</div>
</div>
As Nazaire mentioned you can access the results anywhere inside the child elements when using v-for.
(it works like a normal for-loop)
It's not only limited to the corresponding element (the element in which you do v-for)
<div v-for="result in results" :key="result.symbol">
{{ result.name }}
<button #click="followStock(result.symbol)">+follow</button>
</div>
followStock(symbol){
// you can now add symbol to db
}
I'm using Laravel 5.7 & VueJs 2.5.* ...
I have invoices table, i need to display specific invoice in a new component, so user can see whatever invoice he wants or print that invoice.
I don't know how to do that, i'm just playing around, if you could help me out, i'll be very grateful to you.
<router-link> to the component
<router-link to="/ct-invoice-view" #click="openInvoice(ctInvoice)">
<i class="fas fa-eye fa-lg text-blue"></i>
</router-link>
Displaying Customer information here like this:
<div class="col-sm-4 invoice-col">
<address v-for="ctInvoice in ctInvoices" :key="ctInvoice.id">
<strong>Customer Info</strong><br>
Name: <span>{{ ctInvoice.customer.customer_name }}</span>
Invoice view component data() & method{}
data() {
return {
ctInvoices: {},
customers: null
};
},
methods: {
openInvoice(ctInvoice) {
axios
.get("api/ct-invoice/show/" + this.viewInvoice)
.then(({
data
}) => (this.ctInvoices = data.data));
},

You need to look at Dynamic Route matching: https://router.vuejs.org/guide/essentials/dynamic-matching.html#reacting-to-params-changes
Then you need to use axios.get in invoice views beforeMount function where this.$route.params.id will hold the invoice ID you want to load if the link is applied like so:
<router-link :to="`/ct-invoice-view/${ctInvoice.id}`">
<i class="fas fa-eye fa-lg text-blue"></i>
</router-link>
Alternatively...
I suggest not navigating away from the list, it can be irritating for users having filtered the list then returning to it to look at more invoices and having to filter again unless the filter options and current results are sticky
There are a number of ways of doing this and they are lengthy to example, Typically I would make proper use of a modal and the invoice view load the data on display but to get you started a basic in page solution to experiment with, then try adapting in a reusable modal component later:
<button #click="showInvoice = ctInvoice.id">
<i class="fas fa-eye fa-lg text-blue"></i>
</button>
data() {
return {
loading: false,
invoice: {},
customers: null
};
},
computed: {
showInvoice: {
get: function() {
return this.invoice.hasOwnProperty('id');
},
set: function(value) {
if(value === false) {
this.invoice = {};
return;
}
// could check a cache first and push the cached item into this.invoice else load it:
this.loading = true;
axios.get("api/ct-invoice/show/" + value).then(response => {
// you could push the invoice into a cache
this.invoice = response.data;
}).cache(error => {
// handle error
}).finally(() => {
this.loading = false;
});
}
}
}
In view-invoice component have a close button with bind #click="$emit('close')"
Check this article for how $emit works: https://v2.vuejs.org/v2/guide/components-custom-events.html
<div v-if="loading" class="loading-overlay"></div>
<view-invoice v-if="showInvoice" :invoice="invoice" #close="showInvoice = false" />
<table v-else>....</table>
Hide the table when displaying the invoice, experiment with using v-show instead of v-if upon loosing table content state.
Inside your invoice view, property called invoice will contain the invoice data.
Check this article for how to use props: https://v2.vuejs.org/v2/guide/components-props.html
Hint: The #close listens to the $emit('close')
Could also make use of when switching between table and invoice view.
https://v2.vuejs.org/v2/guide/transitions.html

I did something like this, it's working for me, can u just review it for me:
<router-link> to the Invoice View component
<router-link v-bind:to="{name: 'ctInvoiceView', params: {id: ctInvoice.id}}">
<i class="fas fa-eye fa-lg text-blue"></i>
</router-link>
Getting Data of Specific Invoice ID Like This:
created: function() {
axios
.get("/api/ct-invoice/" + this.$route.params.id)
.then(({
data
}) => {
console.log(data);
this.form = new Form(data);
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error.response);
});
},
I'm trying to get results from an api based on the user search box. When the user enters a value 'en' or 'de'. They should get the result from that search. I need to bind the user input into my query string. This works when I manually code the country into the template, but not when I bind the value into the string after the user inputs a value for the second time. The 'get' request that uses the user input value 'query' works fine. But not when I bind this a second time
I want to be fit to access
results[i].query.name
But '.query' is not working when I query the data unless I enter the value manually '.en'
I have a json file that looks like the following
[
{
"en": {
"name": "testone",
"id": 5363289,
"location": "messages_en.properties1"
},
"de": {
"name": "testonede",
"id": 5363289,
"location": "messages_en.properties2"
}
},
{
"en": {
"name": "test2",
"id": 5363289,
"location": "messages_en.properties3"
},
"de": {
"name": "test2de",
"id": 5363289,
"location": "messages_en.properties4"
}
}
]
Below is my index.html vue.js template
<div id=#app>
<input type="text" v-model="query" placeholder="Choose Language" />
<div class="medium-6 columns">
<a #click="getResult(query)" class="button expanded">Retrieve</a>
</div>
<template v-for="(result, i) in results">
<div class="card" style="width: 20rem; display:inline-block;">
<div class="card-block"></div>
<p> {{results[i].query}} </p>
<!-- works when I manually code in the 'en' query but when ran with 'query' it returns an error 'Cannot read property 'name' of undefined"' second time it returns that the value is -->
<!-- <p> {{results[i].en.name}} </p> -->
<!-- <p> {{results[i].query.name}} </p> -->
</div>
</template>
</div>
Vue.js
el: '#app',
data () {
return {
search: '',
query: 'en',
results: '',
title: '',
items: '',
section: ''
}
},
methods: {
getResult(query) {
axios.get('http://localhost:3000/api/country?country=' + query + '&blank=true').then(response => {
this.results = response.data;
console.log(this.results);
});
},
You need to use bracket notation to access a property using a param, so:
results[i][query].name
The second issue is that results[i][query] will be undefined until the async call has completed, so you will need to check that the property is not undefined or use a boolean flag. So, to check that it is not undefined you could do something like:
<p v-if="!!results[i][query]">{{results[i][query].name}}</p>
<p v-else>Loading...</p>
Here's a simplified JSFiddle for that: https://jsfiddle.net/4w3dxm22/
Or you could just use a dataLoaded flag:
new Vue({
el: '#app',
methods:{
getResult(query) {
this.dataLoaded = false; // set dataLoaded to false
axios.get('http://localhost:3000/api/country?country=' + query + '&blank=true').then(response => {
this.results = response.data;
this.dataLoaded = true; // Data has loaded so set dataLoaded to true
});
},
data: {
dataLoaded: false
}
})
Then you can do:
<span v-if="dataLoaded">{{results[i][query].name}}</span>
<span v-else>Loading Data...</span>
Here's the simplified JSFiddle for that: https://jsfiddle.net/99ydx82u/
I'm new to Vue.js but trying to get to grips with it. So far it has gone well and I've got quite far but I am stuck extending a parents template.
I am trying to make dashboard widgets that extend a default widget layout (in Boostrap). Please note that the below code is using Vue, Require, Underscore & Axios.
Parent file - _Global.vue
<template>
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-heading">
<b>{{ widgetTitle }}</b>
<div class="pull-right">
<a href="#" v-on:click="toggleMinimized"
v-bind:title="(isMinimized ? 'Show widget' : 'Hide widget')">
<i class="fa fa-fw" v-bind:class="isMinimized ? 'fa-plus' : 'fa-minus'"></i>
</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="panel-body" v-if="!isMinimized">
<div class="text-center text-muted" v-if="!isLoaded">
<i class="fa fa-spin fa-circle-o-notch"></i><br />
</div>
<parent v-if="isLoaded">
<!-- parent content should appear here when loaded -->
</parent>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
// setup our widget props
props: {
'minimized': {
'default': false,
'required': false,
'type': Boolean
}
},
// define our data
data: function () {
return {
widgetTitle: 'Set widget title in data',
isLoaded: false,
isMinimized: this.$props.minimized
}
},
// when vue is mounted, open our widget
mounted: function () {
if(!this.isMinimized) {
this.opened();
}
},
// define our methods
methods: {
// store our widget state to database
storeWidgetState: function () {
// set our data to send
let data = {
'action' : 'toggleWidget',
'widget' : this.$options._componentTag,
'state' : !this.isMinimized
};
// post our data to our endpoint
axios.post(axios.endpoint, data);
},
// toggle our minimized data
toggleMinimized: function (e) {
// prevent default
e.preventDefault();
// toggle our minimized state
this.isMinimized = !this.isMinimized;
// trigger opened if we aren't minimized
if(!this.isMinimized) this.opened();
// save our widget state to database
this.storeWidgetState();
},
// triggered when opened from being minimized
opened: function () {
console.log('opened() method is where all widget logic should be placed');
}
}
}
</script>
Child file - Example.vue
Should extend _Global.vue using mixins and then display content within .panel-body
<template>
<div>
I want this content to appear inside the .panel-body div
{{ content }}
<img v-bind:src="image.src" v-bind:alt="image.alt"
v-if="image.src" class="img-responsive" style="margin: 0 auto" />
</div>
</template>
<script>
// import our widgets globals
import Global from './_Global.vue'
export default {
components: {
'parent': {
// what can I possibly put here??
}
},
// use our global mixin for all widgets
mixins: [Global],
// setup our methods for this widget
methods: {
opened: _.debounce(function () {
// make sure this can only be opened once
if(this.hasBeenOpened) return;
this.hasBeenOpened = true;
// temporarily allow axios to make external requests
let axiosHeaders = axios.defaults.headers.common;
let vm = this;
axios.defaults.headers.common = {};
axios.get('https://yesno.wtf/api')
.then(function (res) {
// set our content
vm.content = null;
// set our image content
vm.image.src = res.data.image;
vm.image.alt = res.data.answer;
})
.catch(function (err) {
// set our error text
vm.content = String(err);
})
.then(function () {
// this will always hit..
vm.isLoaded = true;
});
// restore our axios headers for security
axios.defaults.headers.common = axiosHeaders;
}, 300)
},
// additional data
data: function () {
return {
// set our widgets title
widgetTitle: 'Test title',
// logic for the specific widget
hasBeenOpened: false,
content: 'Loaded and ready to go...',
image: {
src: false,
alt: null
}
};
},
}
</script>
Currently my parent template is just completely overwriting my child view. The only way I can get it to work is by explicitly defining the template parameter inside components -> parent: {} but I don't want to have to do that...?
Ok, thanks to Gerardo Rosciano for pointing me the in right direction. I've used to slots to come up with an eventual solution. We then access parent methods and data attributes just to get everything working as it should.
Example.vue - our example widget
<template>
<div>
<widget-wrapper>
<span slot="header">Example widget</span>
<div slot="content">
<img v-bind:src="image.src" v-bind:alt="image.alt"
v-if="image.src" class="img-responsive" style="margin: 0 auto" />
{{ content }}
</div>
</widget-wrapper>
</div>
</template>
<script>
// import our widgets globals
import WidgetWrapper from './_Widget.vue'
export default {
// setup our components
components: {
'widget-wrapper': WidgetWrapper
},
// set our elements props
props: {
'minimized': {
'type': Boolean,
'default': false,
'required': false
}
},
// setup our methods for this widget
methods: {
loadContent: _.debounce(function () {
// make sure this can only be opened once
if(this.hasBeenOpened) return;
this.hasBeenOpened = true;
// temporarily allow axios to make external requests
let axiosHeaders = axios.defaults.headers.common;
let vm = this;
axios.defaults.headers.common = {};
axios.get('https://yesno.wtf/api')
.then(function (res) {
// set our content
vm.content = null;
// set our image content
vm.image.src = res.data.image;
vm.image.alt = res.data.answer;
})
.catch(function (err) {
// set our error text
vm.content = String(err);
})
.then(function () {
// this will always hit..
vm.isLoaded = true;
});
// restore our axios headers for security
axios.defaults.headers.common = axiosHeaders;
}, 300)
},
// additional data
data: function () {
return {
// global param for parent
isLoaded: false,
// logic for the specific widget
hasBeenOpened: false,
content: 'Loaded and ready to go...',
image: {
src: false,

};
},

I'm playing around with vue.js and the .vue components, and as newbie, I'm wondering how can I keep track of the element I add in the array.
The situation is the following :
The user add a new element from a form
When he submit, the data are automatically added to a ul>li element, and a POST request is made to the API
When the POST is done, I want to update the specific li with the new data from the server.
The thing is, I can not target the last li because the server can take time to process the request (he do a lot of work), so the user may have added 1, 5, 10 other entries in the meantime.
So how can I do ?
Here's my code so far :
<template>
<form method="post" v-on:submit.prevent="search">
<input type="text" placeholder="Person name" required v-model="name" v-el="nameInput" />
<input type="text" placeholder="Company" required v-model="company" v-el="domainInput" />
<input type="submit" value="Search" class="btn show-m" />
</form>
<ul>
<li transition="expand" v-for="contact in contacts">
<img v-bind:src="contact.avatar_url" width="40px" height="40px" class="cl-avatar" />
<div class="cl-user">
<strong class="cl-name">{{contact.name}} <span class="cl-company">{{contact.company}}</span></strong>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data () {
return {
contacts: [],
name: null,
company: null
}
},
methods: {
search: function (event) {
this.$http.post('/search', {
name: this.name,
company: this.company
}).then(function (xhr) {
// HERE ! How can I target the exact entry ?
this.contacts.unshift(xhr.data)
})
this.name = ''
this.company = ''
this.contacts.unshift({'name': this.name, 'company': this.company})
},
}
}
</script>
Thank you for your help ! :)
If you know that the name and company fields are unique you could search through the array to find it... otherwise you can just wait to append it to the array until the return function:
search: function (event) {
this.$http.post('/search', {
name: this.name,
company: this.company
}).then(function (xhr) {
this.contacts.unshift(xhr.data)
})
this.name = ''
this.company = ''
},
I finally found a working solution : I use a component instead of <li /> for each entries, and manage the state of these inside the component :
<ul>
<contact-entry v-for="contact in contacts" v-bind:contact="contact"></contact-entry>
</ul>
That way, when I add a new entry in the array (described above), a new instance of the component contact-entry is made.
Inside that component, I did the following :
<script>
export default {
props: ['contact'],
created: function () {
if (this.contact.id === undefined) { // If it's a new contact
this.$http.post('search/name', { // I do the post here
name: this.contact.name,
domain: this.contact.company.name
}).then(function (xhr) {
this.contact = xhr.data // This will update the data once the server has replied, without hassle to find the correct line
})
}
}
}
</script>
That's it ! :) In the parent's component, I removed the xhr request and simplified the method to :
<script>
export default {
data () {
return {
contacts: [],
name: null,
company: null
}
},
methods: {
search: function (event) {
this.name = ''
this.company = ''
this.contacts.unshift({'name': this.name, 'company': this.company})
}
}
}
</script>
