Passing data from Props to data in vue.js

Tags:

I have the following vue component:

<template>
  <div class ="container bordered">
    <div class="row">
      <div class="col-md-12">
  <CommitChart :data="chartOptions"></Commitchart>
  </div>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import CommitChart from './CommitChart';

export default {
  data() {
    return {
      chartOptions: {
        labels:  ['pizza', 'lasagne', 'Cheese'],
        datasets: [{
          label: '# of Votes',
          data: [12, 19, 3],
          backgroundColor: [
                'rgba(10, 158, 193, 1)',
                'rgba(116, 139, 153, 1)',
                'rgba(43, 94, 162, 1)',

            ],
            borderColor: [
              'rgba(44, 64, 76, 1)',
              'rgba(44, 64, 76, 1)',
              'rgba(44, 64, 76, 1)',

            ],
            borderWidth: 3
        }],
    },
    };
  },
  components: { CommitChart },
};
</script>
<style scoped>
</style>

as you can see, this component is effectively a wrapper for another component which is commitChart. Commit chart takes a json object of chartOptions. I don't want the other components to change anything but the labels and data, so I therefore would like to pass label and data as props and use these in data.

i tried adding these as props to this component and then in data, assigning them, something like this:

    props: 
['label']

and then in data:

label: labels

however this doesn't work

Any suggestions how i may achieve this?

How do I use props to pass data to child components in Vue?

The way it works is that you define your data on the parent component and give it a value, then you go to the child component that needs that data and pass the value to a prop attribute so the data becomes a property in the child component. You can use the root component (App.

export default {
  props: ['label'],
  data () {
    return {
      anotherLabel: this.label, // you cannot use the same name as declared for props
    }
  }
}
