nextTick(callback) . It executes callback right after the new data updates have reached DOM.
Use nextTick() when you want to make sure that in the next event loop iteration that code is already executed.
Vuex is a state management pattern for vue. js. $t is the injected method from vue. js or Vue. i18n.
The concepts behind defineComponent bring us back to the roots of JavaScript—the pure functions and TypeScript function overloading. To make it easy for users, all the logic is hidden behind one name: defineComponent . We always pass any object and return the correctly typed object.
nextTick allows you to execute code after you have changed some data and Vue.js has updated the virtual DOM based on your data change, but before the browser has rendered that change on the page.
Normally, devs use the native JavaScript function setTimeout to achieve similar behavior, but using setTimeout relinquishes control over to the browser before it gives control back to you (via calling your callback).
Let's say you changed some data; Vue then updates the vDOM based on that data change (the changes are not yet rendered to the screen by the browser).
If you used nextTick at this point, your callback would get called immediately, and the browser would update the page after that callback finished executing.
If you instead used setTimeout, then the browser would have a chance to update the page, and then your callback would get called.
You can visualize this behavior by creating a small component like the following:
(Check this fiddle to see it live)
<template>
<div class="hello">
{{ msg }}
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: 'HelloWorld',
data() {
return {
msg: 'One'
}
},
mounted() {
this.msg = 'Two';
this.$nextTick(() => {
this.msg = 'Three';
});
}
}
</script>
Run your local server. You will see the message "Three" being displayed.
Now, replace this.$nextTick with setTimeout:
setTimeout(() => {
this.msg = 'Three';
}, 0);
Reload the browser. You will see "Two" before you see "Three".
That's because, with setTimeout:
But with nextTick, we skip steps 2 and 3! Instead of passing over control after the first vDOM update, Vue calls the callback immediately, which prevents the browser from updating until the callback is finished. In this example, that means "Two" is never actually displayed.
To understand how Vue implements this, you need to understand the concept of the JavaScript Event Loop and microtasks.
Once you have those concepts clear(er), check the source code for nextTick.
Next Tick basically allows you to run some code, after the vue has re-rendered the component when you have made some changes to the a reactive property (data).
// modify data
vm.msg = 'Hello'
// DOM not updated yet
Vue.nextTick(function () {
// this function is called when vue has re-rendered the component.
})
// usage as a promise (2.1.0+, see note below)
Vue.nextTick()
.then(function () {
// this function is called when vue has re-rendered the component.
})
From the Vue.js Documentation:
Defer the callback to be executed after the next DOM update cycle. Use it immediately after you’ve changed some data to wait for the DOM update.
Read more about it, here.
To make Pranshat's answer about the difference between using nextTick and setTimeout, more explicit, I have forked his fiddle:
here
mounted() {
this.one = "One";
setTimeout(() => {
this.two = "Two"
}, 0);
//this.$nextTick(()=>{
// this.two = "Two"
//})}
}
You can see in the fiddle that when using setTimeOut, the initial data flashes very briefly once the component gets mounted before adapting the change. Whereas, when using nextTick, the data is hijacked, changed, before rendering to the browser. So, the browser shows the updated data without even any knowledge of the old.
Hope that clears the two concepts in one swoop.
I have created a useful demo in what scenario we can use nextTick in Vuejs, if you want update or run something immediately after your DOM updates, see addMessage function where i am calling another function in which i am using a nextTick function to update scroll to see latest message.
