I'm using Vue-form-wizard to create multi-step form. in one of the steps, I'm loading a dynamic component, and pass the data using v-bind and props to dynamic component. the data updates prefectly when we are on the dynamic component, but when I go to the next step all the changes lost on and rests to the parent component defaults! I tried but that doesn't do anything. here is the example of what happens: the html:
<div id="app">
<div>
<form-wizard @on-complete="onComplete">
<tab-content v-for="tab in tabs"
v-if="!tab.hide"
:key="tab.title"
:title="tab.title"
:icon="tab.icon">
<component :is="tab.component" v-bind={'form':form}></component>
</tab-content>
</form-wizard>
</div>
</div>
and the js will be:
Vue.use(VueFormWizard)
Vue.component('step1', {
template:` <div> My first tab content <br>
</div>`,
props:['form'],
created(){
this.form = 'that other form';
alert(this.form);
}
}
)
Vue.component('step2', {
template:`<div> My second tab content </div>`
})
Vue.component('step3', {
template:`<div> My third tab content </div>`
})
Vue.component('step4', {
template:`<div> Yuhuuu! This seems pretty damn simple </div>`
})
new Vue({
el: '#app',
data() {
return {
form:'this form',
tabs: [{title: 'Personal details', icon: 'ti-user', component: 'step1'},
{title: 'Is Logged In?', icon: 'ti-settings', component: 'step2', hide: false},
{title: 'Additional Info', icon: 'ti-location-pin', component: 'step3'},
{title: 'Last step', icon: 'ti-check', component: 'step4'},
],
}
},
methods: {
onComplete: function(){
alert(this.form);
}
}
})
please help me. thanks alot
Here:
props:['form'],
created(){
this.form = 'that other form';
alert(this.form);
}
you are changing a prop. Don't do that.
All props form a one-way-down binding between the child property and the parent one: when the parent property updates, it will flow down to the child, but not the other way around. This prevents child components from accidentally mutating the parent’s state, which can make your app’s data flow harder to understand.
Instead, the child should emit an event that the parent acts on to update the data item. I like to create a computed in the child to wrap up that behavior so I can treat it like a variable that I can assign to.
In the snippet below, I use the .sync
modifier to make the update clean. I also call $nextTick
after setting the value to give the event time to be handled.
Vue.use(VueFormWizard)
Vue.component('step1', {
template: ` <div> My first tab content <br>
</div>`,
props: ['form'],
computed: {
proxyForm: {
get() {
return this.form;
},
set(v) {
this.$emit('update:form', v);
}
}
},
created() {
this.proxyForm = 'that other form';
this.$nextTick(() =>
alert(this.proxyForm));
}
})
Vue.component('step2', {
template: `<div> My second tab content </div>`
})
Vue.component('step3', {
template: `<div> My third tab content </div>`
})
Vue.component('step4', {
template: `<div> Yuhuuu! This seems pretty damn simple </div>`
})
new Vue({
el: '#app',
data() {
return {
form: 'this form',
tabs: [{
title: 'Personal details',
icon: 'ti-user',
component: 'step1'
},
{
title: 'Is Logged In?',
icon: 'ti-settings',
component: 'step2',
hide: false
},
{
title: 'Additional Info',
icon: 'ti-location-pin',
component: 'step3'
},
{
title: 'Last step',
icon: 'ti-check',
component: 'step4'
},
],
}
},
methods: {
onComplete: function() {
alert(this.form);
}
}
});
