When I update the parent's singleIssue variable, it does not get updated inside my <issue> component. I am passing it there using props. I have achieved this in other projects already, but I can't seem to get what I am doing wrong.
I have reduced my code to the relevant parts, so it is easier to understand.
IssueIndex.vue:
<template>
<div class="issue-overview">
<issue v-if="singleIssue" :issue="singleIssue"></issue>
<v-server-table url="api/v1/issues" :columns="columns" :options="options" ref="issuesTable">
<span slot="name" slot-scope="props">{{props.row.name}}</span>
<div slot="options" slot-scope="props" class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Order Controls">
<b-btn class="btn-success" v-b-modal.issueModal v-
on:click="showIssue(props.row)">Show</b-btn>
</div>
</v-server-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
mounted() {
let app = this;
axios.get('api/v1/issues/')
.then(response => {
app.issues = response.data;
})
.catch(e => {
app.errors.push(e);
});
},
data: () => {
return {
issues: [],
singleIssue: undefined,
columns: ['name', 'creation_date', 'options'],
options: {
filterByColumn: true,
filterable: ['name', 'creation_date'],
sortable: ['name', 'creation_date'],
dateColumns: ['creation_date'],
toMomentFormat: 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss',
orderBy: {
column: 'name',
ascending: true
},
initFilters: {
active: true,
}
}
}
},
methods: {
showIssue(issue) {
let app = this;
app.singleIssue = issue;
// This gets the action history of the card
axios.get('api/v1/issues/getCardAction/' + issue.id)
.then(response => {
app.singleIssue.actions = response.data;
})
.catch(error => {
// alert
});
}
}
}
</script>
Issue.vue:
<template>
<div>
{{ issue }}
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
props: ['issue']
}
</script>
So after showIssue() is triggered, it will get actions for the issue. But after then, I can't see the actions in the issue component.
If I update the issue-model in the issue component using form inputs, it will also start showing the actions. So I assume it's just in a weird state where it needs a refresh.
Thanks in advance!
singleIssue.actionsproperty does not exist at the time when you're setting it, Vue will not be able to detect it. You need to use$set, or just define the property before you assignsingleIssuetoapp.app.singleIssueproperty is reactive (because it was declared in thedatasection), so Vue will detect when this property is assigned to and make the new value reactive if it isn't already. At the time whenissueis being assigned, it will be made reactive without theactionsproperty, and Vue cannot detect when new properties are being added to reactive objects later on (hence why$setis required for those situations).
