Passing props dynamically to dynamic component in VueJS
I've a dynamic view:
<div id="myview">
<div :is="currentComponent"></div>
</div>
with an associated Vue instance:
new Vue ({
data: function () {
return {
currentComponent: 'myComponent',
}
},
}).$mount('#myview');
This allows me to change my component dynamically.
In my case, I have three different components: myComponent
, myComponent1
, and myComponent2
. And I switch between them like this:
Vue.component('myComponent', {
template: "<button @click=\"$parent.currentComponent = 'myComponent1'\"></button>"
}
Now, I'd like to pass props to myComponent1
.
How can I pass these props when I change the component type to myComponent1
?
To pass props dynamically, you can add the v-bind
directive to your dynamic component and pass an object containing your prop names and values:
So your dynamic component would look like this:
<component :is="currentComponent" v-bind="currentProperties"></component>
And in your Vue instance, currentProperties
can change based on the current component:
data: function () {
return {
currentComponent: 'myComponent',
}
},
computed: {
currentProperties: function() {
if (this.currentComponent === 'myComponent') {
return { foo: 'bar' }
}
}
}
So now, when the currentComponent
is myComponent
, it will have a foo
property equal to 'bar'
. And when it isn't, no properties will be passed.
You can also do without computed property and inline the object.
<div v-bind="{ id: someProp, 'other-attr': otherProp }"></div>
Shown in the docs on V-Bind - https://vuejs.org/v2/api/#v-bind
You could build it like...
comp: { component: 'ComponentName', props: { square: true, outlined: true, dense: true }, model: 'form.bar' }
<component :is="comp.component" v-bind="{...comp.props}" v-model="comp.model"/>
