I try to render components dynamically based on descriptions.
From
{component: 'customComponent', props: {value: "val1"}, ...}
I'd render
<custom-component :value="val1" @input="v=>val1=v" />`
I aim to do this for arbitrary events and dynamic props.
I have no idea though how to pass dynamic props to render.
Partial solution:
A solution that works but re-renders everytime val1
changes, based on (https://symfonycasts.com/screencast/vue/vue-instance) is
render: function(h){
const template = "...building up the html here..."
return Vue.compile(template).render.call(this, h);
}
My attempt using the VueJS docs
I could not find in the docs on render how I could pass dynamic variables.
In the minimal implementation you can see how far I've got, if you can help me finish it, it would be awesome!
Minimal implementation so far
I expect to see 'hello' instead of 'values.value1' and values.value1 should update once I change the text in the text box.
demo.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<div id="q-app">
The text input should say 'hello' instead of 'values.value1'
<custom-component :descriptor="mainComponent"></custom-component>
</div>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue@^2.0.0/dist/vue.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/quasar@1.15.15/dist/quasar.umd.min.js"></script>
<script>
Vue.component('custom-component', {
props: ['descriptor'],
render: function (createElement) {
const attributes = {
on: this.descriptor.events,
props: this.descriptor.props
}
return createElement(
this.descriptor.component,
attributes)
}
})
const app = new Vue({
el: '#q-app',
data: function(){
return {
mainComponent: {
component: 'q-input',
props: {
value: 'values.value1'
},
events: {
input: value => this.values.value1 = value
}
},
values: {
value1: 'hello'
}
}
}
})
</script>
</body>
I guess, I have fixed your example.
Of course, you can watch
the value in the main app. But it is better to sent an input
event with the value.
Added the reference to the component
ref="mc"
and the input
event binding
@input="logEventValue"
Vue.component('custom-component', {
props: ['descriptor'],
render: function (createElement) {
const attributes = {
on: this.descriptor.events,
props: this.descriptor.props
}
return createElement(
this.descriptor.component,
attributes)
}
})
const app = new Vue({
el: '#q-app',
data: function(){
return {
mainComponent: {
component: 'q-input',
props: {
value: 'hello'
},
events: {
input: value => {
this.values.value1 = value;
// with ref="mc"
this.$refs.mc.$emit('input', value);
// or over the list of children
this.$children[0].$emit('input', value);
}
}
},
values: {
value1: 'hello'
}
}
},
watch: {
'values.value1': (newVal) => console.log(`1. watcher: ${newVal}`),
// or deeply
values: {
handler(newVal) {
console.log(`2. watcher: ${newVal.value1}`)
},
deep: true,
}
},
methods: {
logEventValue(value) {
console.log(`logEventValue: ${value}`);
}
}
})
<div id="q-app">
<custom-component ref="mc" @input="logEventValue" :descriptor="mainComponent"></custom-component>
</div>
