I'm new to Vue.js
and i'm using it alongside with Vue-Draggable
in order to re-arrange the position of stand-alone widgets (components) inside the DOM.
I also want to be able to rearrange this position dynamically via an Ajax response containing the order.
The problem that i have with my current implementation is that when i'm re-arranging, the components are re-rendered. I don't want that.
Any ideas would be helpful.
<template>
<draggable tag="div"
class="container-fluid"
@start="drag=true"
@end="drag=false"
handle=".v-drag-handle"
v-bind="dragOptions"
v-model="widgetList"
>
<transition-group type="transition">
<component v-for="(widget, key) in widgetList"
:key="key"
:is="widget.widget">
</component>
</transition-group>
</draggable>
</template>
const widgets = [
Component1,
Component2,
Component3,
Component4,
Component5
];
export default {
name: 'Stack overflow',
data() {
return {
widgetList: [],
drag: false,
config: this.getHttpConfig(),
};
},
computed: {
dragOptions() {
return {
animation: 800,
disabled: false,
ghostClass: "v-ghost"
};
}
},
created() {
this.getWidgetOrder();
},
watch: {
widgetList(val, oldVal) {
if (oldVal) {
this.setWidgetOrder(this.widgetList);
}
}
},
methods: {
sort() {
this.widgetList = widgets.map((widget, index) => {
return { widget: widgets[index], order: index + 1 };
});
},
getWidgetOrder() {
this.prepareFormData('get');
this.$http(this.config)
.then(response => {
//todo handle response
this.sort();
})
.catch(response => {
throw new Error('Could not get widget order.');
});
}
},
components: {
Component1,
Component2,
Component3,
Component4,
Component5
}
}
For time saving i have removed all non-related methods and i kept only the ones that are used while the problem is occurs.
I believe that the problem is happening on the v-model
, when the widgetList is updated i'm getting this issue.
The problem here occurs because the key
in the loop is changing, and Vue automatically re-creates the component.
The solution was to use the component's name as a key. :key="widget.name"
