I've been through the vue.js events section on events but it seems to only give examples of how to listen to events using the vm.$on handler within html. Between that and the new changes for 2.0 I'm unsure how to simply transmit a event from child -> parent.
I need to transmit an event because after parent receiving i want to broadcast it to another child.
I'm using single page components, this is my setup:
// parent export default { mounted: function () { this.$on('myEvent', function (msg) { console.log('caught in parent', msg) }); }, components: { 'child': child, }, } // child this.$emit('myEvent', true)
How can I receive this event on the parent vm please? Note, I don't want to use $on in the html. I want the event receiving logic in the vm where it should be.
Thanks,
To emit event from grandchild to his grandparent component with Vue. js, we call $emit in the grand child component. Then in the parent component, we pass the events from the child to the grandparent with v-on="$listeners . And then we listen to the event emitted from the grandchild component in the grandparent.
To access child component's data from parent with Vue. js, we can assign a ref to the child component. And then we can access the child component data as a property of the ref. to assign the markdown ref to the markdown component.
Conclusion. We can access the root Vue instance with $root , and the parent component with $parent . To access a child component from a parent, we can assign a ref with a name to the child component and then use this. $refs to access it.

documentation on $emit
is not very comprehensive, however, there are a few ways to do this. Firstly you have to $emit
on the vue model you want to send the message to if you want to use this.$on()
, so if you are sending from a component you can emit to the direct parent using:
this.$parent.$emit('myEvent',true);
However, this can become problematic if you have a long chain of parents because you have to $emit
up the child chain, so in that case you can use a Vue instance as a bus:
// In the root as a global variable so all components have access var bus = new Vue({});
Or if you are using single file components.
window.bus = new Vue({});
Then in the receiver:
bus.$on('myEvent',() => { // Do stuff });
And in the emitter:
bus.$emit('myEvent',true);
Finally, if you find you app
getting too complex for a simple bus then you can use vuex
