I tried to make communicate to components with vuejs and vuex :
First component is a menu
Second component, inside the first, is an hamburgerButton.
In this very current case, when I click the hamburgerButton, this one is animated and the menu too. With this code, after the button click, the menu is animated with vueTransition and the hamburgerButton too. Note that i use vuex to manage a menuIsOpen state.
My problem is when i click an item of the menu, I would like fired the hamburgerButton animation.
hamburgerButtonanimation method, call animButtonHandler(), is encapsulated in a #click event. Actually i understand why it doesn't work right know, but I don't perceive how to handle this method to the click of a Parent element (item of the menu). So my question is, how can I access a method to a child component from a parent component ? Or is there an another workaround methodology to achieve this ?
parent component - menu.vue :
<template>
<div class="menu">
<!-- import hamburgerButton component -->
<hamburger-button></hamburger-button>
<transition v-on:enter="enterMenuHandler" v-on:leave="leaveMenuHandler">
<div class="menu_wrapper" v-if="this.$store.state.menuIsOpen">
<ul class="menu_items">
<li class="menu_item" #click="$store.commit('toggleMenu')">
<router-link class="menu_link" to="/">home</router-link>
<router-link class="menu_link" to="/contact">contact</router-link>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</transition>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import hamburgerButton from "hamburgerButton.vue";
export default {
components: {
'hamburger-button': hamburgerButton,
},
methods: {
enterMenuHandler(el, done){
TweenLite.fromTo(el, 0.5, {
opacity: '0',
},{
opacity: '1',
onComplete: done
});
},
leaveMenuHandler(el, done){
TweenLite.to(el, 0.5, {
opacity: '0',
onComplete: done
});
},
}
}
</script>
child component : hamburgerButton.vue :
<template>
<div class="hamburgerButton" #click="animButtonHandler()">
<div class="hamburgerButton_inner" ref="hamburgerButtonInner">
<i class="hamburgerButton_icon></i>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
methods: {
animButtonHandler (){
// toggle the state of menu if button clicked
this.$store.commit('toggleMenu');
const isOpen = this.$store.state.menuIsOpen === true;
// anim the button
TweenLite.to(this.$refs.hamburgerButtonInner, 0.5, {
rotation: isOpen ? "43deg" : '0',
});
},
}
}
</script>
store.js (imported in the main.js) :
let store = new Vuex.Store({
state : {
menuIsOpen : false,
},
mutations: {
toggleMenu(state) {
state.menuIsOpen = !state.menuIsOpen
}
}
});
I have added basic Example of event bus. you can now compare it with and do changes like wise.
if find any difficulties please comment.

Update
you need to define EventBus
eventbus.js
import Vue from 'vue';
const EventBus = new Vue();
export default EventBus;
parent component - menu.vue
import EventBus from './eventbus.js'
... your code
child component : hamburgerButton.vue :
import EventBus from './eventbus.js'
... your code
now EventBus will be available to your code.
Since you wanted to know how to imtegrate event bus with your code, here it is:
Create an event bus which is just an empty vue instance
Add it in you main.js file or outsource it in a spererate file;
main.js
export const EventBus = new Vue();
menu.vue
<template>
<div class="menu">
<!-- import hamburgerButton component -->
<hamburger-button></hamburger-button>
<transition v-on:enter="enterMenuHandler" v-on:leave="leaveMenuHandler">
<div class="menu_wrapper" v-if="this.$store.state.menuIsOpen">
<ul class="menu_items">
<li class="menu_item" #click="toggleMenu">
<router-link class="menu_link" to="/">home</router-link>
<router-link class="menu_link" to="/contact">contact</router-link>
</li>
</ul>w
</div>
</transition>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import hamburgerButton from "hamburgerButton.vue";
import {EventBus} from './path/to/main.js' //or a path to file where you exported your EventBus
export default {
components: {
'hamburger-button': hamburgerButton,
},
methods: {
toggleMenu(){
this.$store.commit('toggleMenu');
EventBus.$emit('animate-hamburger-btn');
},
enterMenuHandler(el, done){
TweenLite.fromTo(el, 0.5, {
opacity: '0',
},{
opacity: '1',
onComplete: done
});
},
leaveMenuHandler(el, done){
TweenLite.to(el, 0.5, {
opacity: '0',
onComplete: done
});
},
}
}
</script>
set up a event listener on the event bus in the created hook and perform the animation on every animate-hamburger-btn event
hamburgerButton.vue
<template>
<div class="hamburgerButton" #click="animButtonHandler()">
<div class="hamburgerButton_inner" ref="hamburgerButtonInner">
<i class="hamburgerButton_icon></i>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import {EventBus} from './path/to/main.js' //or a path to file where you exported your EventBus
export default {
created(){
EventBus.$on('animate-hamburger-btn', () => {
this.animateBtn();
});
}.
methods: {
animButtonHandler (){
// toggle the state of menu if button clicked
this.$store.commit('toggleMenu');
this.animateBtn();
},
animateBtn(){
const isOpen = this.$store.state.menuIsOpen === true;
// anim the button
TweenLite.to(this.$refs.hamburgerButtonInner, 0.5, {
rotation: isOpen ? "43deg" : '0',
});
}
}
}

I want to show or hide the item by clicking the button or clicking the item itself, for example:
<template>
<div>
<button #click="show?show = false:show = true">
{{show?"Hide":"Show"}}
</button>
<div #click="show?show = false:show = true" v-if="show">
Vue Js - click here to Hide
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
show: null,
};
}
};
</script>
but i want to import the item from another component, so i do this:
the parent component:
<template>
<div>
<button #click="show?show = false:show = true">
{{show?"Hide":"Show"}}
</button>
<item :show="show" />
</div>
</template>
<script>
import item from "item.vue"
export default {
components: {
item
},
data() {
return {
show: null,
};
}
};
</script>
the child component:
<template>
<div #click="show?show = false:show = true" v-if="show">
Vue Js - click here to Hide
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
props: {
show: Boolean,
}
};
</script>
but of course, it doesn't work well.
When i click on the item it disappears but the show value in the parent component doesn't change and I get an error saying 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: "show".
so how to edit the data value of the parent component from the child component?
(I use Vue 2.6.14)
The solution is to use event emitting (Youtube Tutorial) to send updated data up to the parent component from the child component.
so the code becomes like this:
the parent component:
<template>
<div>
<button #click="show?show = false:show = true">
{{show?"Hide":"Show"}}
</button>
<item :show="show" #state="update($event)" />
</div>
</template>
<script>
import item from "item.vue"
export default {
components: {
item
},
data() {
return {
show: null,
};
},
methods: {
update(value) {
this.show = value;
}
}
};
</script>
the child component:
<template>
<div #click="action" v-if="show">
Vue Js - click here to Hide
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
props: {
show: Boolean,
},
methods: {
state() {
if (this.show) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
},
action() {
this.$emit("state", this.state())
}
}
};
</script>
Thank you #D.Schaller for helping
So this one is a bit tricky for me. I have a Sidebar.vue component with a link(Help). I want to trigger my Modal.vue component with different data for every main view eg. Home, About, Contact etc. So whenever I am on Home I want to trigger help modal with hints via that link for Home.vue, when I am on About I want to show hints for About.vue and so on..
My code:
Sidebar.vue
<template>
<ul>
<li>
<a #click="openHelp">Help</a>
</li>
</ul>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: 'Sidebar',
methods: {
openHelp() {
this.$emit('help-modal');
},
},
};
</script>
Modal.Vue
<template>
<div class="modal" v-if="open">
<div class="modal-title">
<h4>Help</h4>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: 'Modal',
props: {
open: {
type: Boolean,
default: false,
}
},
methods: {
close() {
this.$emit('closed');
},
},
};
</script>
Home.vue
<template>
<div>
Home
<modal
:open="helpOpen"
#closed="openHelpModal">
<p>Home Help</p>
</modal>
</div>
<template>
<sidebar/>
</template>
</template>
<script>
import Sidebar from '#/components/Sidebar.vue';
export default {
name: 'Home',
components: {
Sidebar,
},
data() {
return {
helpOpen: false,
}
}
methods: {
openHelpModal() {
this.helpOpen = !this.helpOpen;
},
}
}
</script>
I know that vuex would be the best solution but don't have an idea how to approach it. Modal would show only static images with a bit of text for every main view.
One way of doing this would be to simply add a property to the modal component e.g helpData and pass the relevant data to this prop in each of the main pages as shown below
Modal.vue
<template>
<div class="modal" v-if="open">
<div class="modal-title">
<h4>Help</h4>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: 'Modal',
props: {
open: {
type: Boolean,
default: false,
},
helpData: {
type: String,
required: true
}
},
methods: {
close() {
this.$emit('closed');
},
},
};
</script>
Home.vue
<template>
<div>
Home
<modal
:open="helpOpen"
#closed="openHelpModal"
:help-data="This is a sample help data for the home view"
/>
</div>
<template>
<sidebar #help-modal="helpOpen = true"/>
</template>
</template>
<script>
import Sidebar from '#/components/Sidebar.vue';
export default {
name: 'Home',
components: {
Sidebar,
},
data() {
return {
helpOpen: false,
}
}
methods: {
openHelpModal() {
this.helpOpen = !this.helpOpen;
},
}
}
</script>
As indicated by #ljubadr, I have included the logic that would open the modal in the sidebar component of Home.vue. Also, I would recommend you change the name of the function openHelpModal to closeHelpModal (seeing as this function will basically close the modal) or toggleHelpModal (since from the logic of the function, it toggles the modal state).
Can anyone tell me how I can bind the prop of a component to a data property of its own? For example, consider I have a component called ModalComponent
<template> // ModalComponent.vue
<div v-if="showModal">
...
<button #click="showModal = !showModal">close the modal internally</button>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
props: {
show: {
type: Boolean,
default: false
},
},
data() {
return {
showModal: false,
}
}
}
</script>
<style>
</style>
Now consider I am using this modal as a reusable component from inside a parent component using an external button to open up the pop up for the modal.
<template>
<button #click="showChild = !showChild">click to open modal</button>
<ModalComponent :show="showChild" />
</template>
<script>
export default {
components: {ModalComponent},
data() {
return {
showChild: false,
}
}
}
</script>
<style>
</style>
How do I make it so that every time the parent clicks on the button, the modal pops up by binding the local showModal to the prop show ? And when the modal is closed internally by the local close button, if I click on the parent button again it will re-pop up? (I am using Vue 3, just in case)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
The perfect solution for this case is using v-model instead of passing a prop :
in child component define modelValue as prop and emit its value to the parent using $emit function:
<template> // ModalComponent.vue
<div v-if="modelValue">
...
<button #click="$emit('update:modelValue',!modelValue)">close the modal internally</button>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
props: {
modelValue: {
type: Boolean,
default: false
},
},
emits: ['update:modelValue'],
}
</script>
in parent component just use v-model to bind the value :
<template>
<button #click="showChild = !showChild">click to open modal</button>
<ModalComponent v-model="showChild" />
</template>
<script>
export default {
components: {ModalComponent},
data() {
return {
showChild: false,
}
}
}
</script>
In a <b-table> I would like to create an action on each items so I have a button:
<b-table :items="data" :fields="fields">
<template v-slot:cell(actions)="data">
<b-button v-on:click="doIt(data.index)">Do It</b-button>
</template>
</b-table>
Then I have a Form in a sidebar
<b-sidebar id="do-it-form" title="Do it" right>
...
</b-sidebar>
In my methods I would like to respond to the action:
methods: {
doIt(id) {
sidebar.form.id = id
sidebar.show().onSubmit(() => {
axio...
refresh(<b-table>)
})
}
}
Of course, this last part is not valid. On Bootstrap Vue manual I didn't find how to interact from Vue to Bootstrap components. Any clue?
You can emit an event on $root, which can be used to toggle the sidebar. The second parameter being the id of the sidebar you wish to open.
this.$root.$emit('bv::toggle::collapse', 'my-sidebar-id')
<b-collapse> and <b-sidebar> listens for the same event, which is why it says collapse in the event.
new Vue({
el: '#app',
methods: {
openSidebar() {
this.$root.$emit('bv::toggle::collapse', 'my-sidebar')
}
}
})
<link href="https://unpkg.com/bootstrap#4.5.2/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="https://unpkg.com/bootstrap-vue#2.17.1/dist/bootstrap-vue.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.6.11/vue.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/bootstrap-vue#2.17.1/dist/bootstrap-vue.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<b-sidebar id="my-sidebar" right>
My sidebar
</b-sidebar>
<b-btn #click="openSidebar">
Open sidebar
</b-btn>
</div>
Alternatively you can bind a boolean property to the v-model on the sidebar and set the boolean to true when you want to open the sidebar.
new Vue({
el: '#app',
data() {
return {
isSidebarOpen: false
}
},
methods: {
openSidebar() {
this.isSidebarOpen = true
}
}
})
<link href="https://unpkg.com/bootstrap#4.5.2/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="https://unpkg.com/bootstrap-vue#2.17.1/dist/bootstrap-vue.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.6.11/vue.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/bootstrap-vue#2.17.1/dist/bootstrap-vue.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<b-sidebar v-model="isSidebarOpen" right>
My sidebar
</b-sidebar>
<b-btn #click="openSidebar">
Open sidebar
</b-btn>
</div>
Also, you can use one of the sidebar built-in public methods show, hide or toggle. All you need is add a reference to your sidebar
<b-sidebar ref="mySidebar" id="do-it-form">
...
</b-sidebar>
and then in any of your methods where/when it's needed, you can simply call any of them
this.$refs.mysidebar.show();
this.$refs.mysidebar.hide();
this.$refs.mysidebar.toggle();
You can also just assign a boolean value to the visible prop on the b-sidebar component and toggle the boolean value as you like.
<b-sidebar ref="mySidebar" id="do-it-form" :visible="showSidebar">
...
</b-sidebar>
And toggling it:
data: {
showSidebar: false, //starts off invisible
},
methods: {
toggleSidebar(){
this.showSidebar = !this.showSidebar
}
}
This approach at first glance is not the best in an approach where you have other components updating the sidebar visiblity. This use case is for situations when all updates to the sidebar visibility are made from a central store by using a central boolean value.
e.g.
const state = {
showSidebar: null
}
const mutations: {
toggleSidebar(state, payload){
if (payload) { //payload incase you want to force a value and not just toggle
state.showSidebar = payload;
} else {
state.showSidebar = !state.showSidebar;
}
}
}
And in your components:
computed: {
showSidebar(){
return this.$store.state.showSidebar
}, //starts off invisible
},
methods: {
toggleSidebar(){
this.$store.commit("toggleSidebar");
}
}
Your updated sidebar component would look like this:
<b-sidebar ref="mySidebar" id="do-it-form" :visible="showSidebar" #change="updateSidebar">
...
</b-sidebar>
And the method:
methods: {
updateSidebar(value){
this.$store.commit("toggleSidebar", value);
}
}
I want to send a signal from a child component to a parent. I don't want to use Vuex as for my level of VueJS knowledge Vuex is too complicated. I am using single file components.
child.vue
<script>
export default {
name: 'ChildComponent',
methods: {
// ajax post here ...
if (response.data.status === 'accepted'){
this.$emit('send-data', 'accepted')
}
}
parent.vue
<script>
import ChildComponent from './ChildComponent.vue'
export default {
name: 'Parent',
data () {
return {
stage: 1
}
},
components: {
ChildComponent
},
// how can I replace 'events' with $on in a single file component and listen for events after all components have been created
events: {
'send-data': function (dataResponse) {
if (dataResponse === 'accepted'){
this.stage = 2
}
}
}
examples in the VueJS docs show something like this for the parent:
var eventHub = new Vue()
created: function () {
eventHub.$on('add-todo', this.addTodo)
eventHub.$on('delete-todo', this.deleteTodo)
},
but I want to listen to events at any time, not just on creation. How can I replace the parents 'events' with a $on function?
If you start listening for event on created that would work for the entire life cycle of the component. Alternatively you could set event to trigger using v-on or # shortcut while using the component.
Example
Vue.component('my-component', {
template: '<div><button v-on:click="sendHello">hello</button></div>',
methods:{
sendHello: function(){
console.log('hello');
this.$emit('hello','hello')
}
}
});
new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: {
message: 'Hello Vue.js!'
},
methods:{
sayHi: function(){
console.log('say hi')
}
}
})
