Pass selected value to vuejs function

Question

How can I pass selected value to a vuejs function? v-model won't help I guess.

I need to set values for the filter after item: items | orderBy sortKey reverse where reverse and sortKey are dynamic values.

html

<select class="sort-filter" v-on="change: sortBy(???)">
  <option value="title asc">Title (A-Z)</option>
  <option value="title desc">Title (Z-A)</option>
  <option value="price asc">Price (Min. - Max.)</option>
  <option value="price desc">Price (Max. - Min.)</option>
</select>

js

  methods: {
    sortBy: function (sortKey) {
      console.log(sortKey)
    }
  }

Answer 1

You have several ways to do it.

Edit: Improved 2)

It is possible to use v-model just like in 2) but instead of using the value directly in your orderBy filter, you can use computed properties

computed: {
    sortKey: {
        get: function() {
            return this.sorting.split(' ')[0]; // return the key part
        }
    },
    sortOrder: {
        get: function() {
            return this.sorting.split(' ')[1]; // return the order part
        }
    }
}

This way, sortKey and sortOrder will be available like a normal property in you filter:

v-repeat="items | orderBy sortKey sortOrder"

1) Use javascript event:

If you don't specify any parameter, the native event object will be passed automatically

<select class="sort-filter" v-on:change="sortBy">

You can then use it like this:

methods: {
    sortBy: function(e) {
        console.log(e.target.value);
    },
}

2) Using v-model

You can add the v-model directive

<select name="test" v-model="sorting" v-on:change="sortBy">

This way the sorting value will be updated on every change.

You can add this value in the data object of you ViewModel to be more clear:

data: {
  sorting: null // Will be updated when the select value change
}

You can then access the value like in your method:

methods: {
    sortBy: function() {
        console.log(this.sorting);
    },
}

If you just need to update the sortKey value, this method is not even necessary.

3) Other weird way

You can apparently use your model value as a parameter.

<select name="test" v-model="sortKey" v-on:change="sortBy(sortKey)">

This is working but I don't really see the point.

methods: {
    sortBy: function(sortKey) {
        console.log(sortKey);
    },
}
