I'm creating a blog with free sewing patterns as content. I'm using route parameters to receive each blog individually. However, I'm getting a blank page when trying to retrieve its data from firebase firestore. Please help.
The blog's id appears on my address bar: http://localhost:8080/#/admin/single-pattern/4LIS362IEWa7RKEv79g8
But it renders a blank page. I cant see my blog content.
This is my route path code. I've added a parameter of :id in my singlepattern. The SinglePattern component is where I will get the individual blog's data:
{
path: "/admin",
name: "admin",
component: Admin,
meta: {
auth: true,
},
children: [
{
path: "dashboard",
name: "dashboard",
component: Dashboard,
},
{
path: "manage-patterns",
name: "manage-patterns",
component: ManagePatterns,
},
{
path: "single-pattern/:id",
name: "single-pattern",
component: SinglePattern,
},
],
},
Here is my "ListPattern" component's code. ListPattern is where all my sewing blogs are displayed.
<template>
<div class="list-blogs">
<h1>LIST BLOG TITLES</h1>
<br />
<input type="text" v-model="search" placeholder="search blogs" />
<div
class="blog-cover"
v-for="pattern in filteredPatterns"
:key="pattern.id"
>
<div>
<router-link v-bind:to="'/admin/single-pattern/' + pattern.id">
<h3 style="cursor: pointer" v-rainbow>
{{ pattern.title | uppercase }}
</h3></router-link
>
</div>
<p
:style="'background-color: var(--lightgrey)'"
:inner-html.prop="pattern.description | snippet"
></p>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import firebase from "firebase";
import searchMixin from "../mixins/searchMixin";
// Basic Use - Covers most scenarios
import { VueEditor } from "vue2-editor";
import Quill from "quill";
const AlignStyle = Quill.import("attributors/style/align");
Quill.register(AlignStyle, true);
// import $ from "jquery";
import Swal from "sweetalert2";
window.Swal = Swal;
const Toast = Swal.mixin({
toast: true,
position: "top-end",
showConfirmButton: false,
timer: 3000,
});
window.Toast = Toast;
export default {
name: "ManagePatterns",
components: { VueEditor },
data() {
return {
patterns: [],
pattern: {
title: null,
description: null,
image: null,
},
search: "",
};
},
firestore() {
return {
patterns: firebase.firestore().collection("free-patterns"),
};
},
computed: {},
},
};
</script>
And this is my 'SinglePattern' component where the clicked blog/pattern is displayed.
<template>
<div class="single-pattern">
<div class="blog-cover">
<div>
</div>
<div v-if="pattern">
<h3 style="cursor: pointer">
{{ pattern.title }}
</h3>
<div v-if="pattern.description">
<p
:style="'background-color: var(--lightgrey)'"
:inner-html.prop="pattern.description"
></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import firebase from "firebase";
import searchMixin from "../../mixins/searchMixin";
export default {
data() {
return {
id: this.$route.params.id,
patterns: [],
pattern: {
title: null,
description: null,
image: null,
},
};
},
firestore() {
return {
patterns: firebase.firestore().collection("free-patterns"),
};
},
mixins: [searchMixin],
created() {
console.log(this.$route.params.id);
var pat = this;
firebase
.firestore()
.collection("free-patterns")
.doc(this.$route.params.id)
.get()
.then(function(doc) {
if (doc.exists) {
pat.pattern = doc.data().pattern;
} else {
console.log("no such doc");
}
});
},
methods: {},
};
</script>
It works. I just had to change the code in my created() hook in 'SingePattern' component.
created() {
console.log(this.$route.params.id);
var docRef = firebase
.firestore()
.collection("free-patterns")
.doc(this.$route.params.id);
docRef
.get()
.then((doc) => {
if (doc.exists) {
this.pattern = doc.data();
} else {
// doc.data() will be undefined in this case
console.log("No such document!");
}
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log("Error getting document:", error);
});
