Hello I have this issue with a dom-repeat template. I have an element with a dom-repeat and inside I'm showing a my-item element, I have a button that fired a custom event and I need to get that event in the parent element but I can't make it work. Any thoughts on this? Why I never get updateFired(e)
called?
Element: my-view
<template is="dom-repeat" items="{{employees}}">
<my-item employee="[[item]]" on-update="updateFired"></my-item>
</template>
updateFired(e) {
console.log(e);
}
Element: my-item
<div class="container">
<div>First name: <span>[[employee.first]]</span></div>
<div>Last name: <span>[[employee.last]]</span></div>
<button on-click="testClick">Click</button>
</div>
testClick(e) {
const event = new CustomEvent('onUpdate', { bubbles: true, composed: true, detail: this.employee });
this.dispatchEvent(event);
}
In the way you wrote the event handler your event name should be "update", not "onUpdate". The on-
prefix is added just for defining the event handler, the actual event name should be the part after it.
So you would need to change
const event = new CustomEvent('onUpdate', { bubbles: true, composed: true, detail: this.employee });
to
const event = new CustomEvent('update', { bubbles: true, composed: true, detail: this.employee });
