Sometimes, we want to programmatically bind custom events for dynamic components in Vue.js.

In this article, we’ll look at how to programmatically bind custom events for dynamic components in Vue.js.

How to programmatically bind custom events for dynamic components in Vue.js?

To programmatically bind custom events for dynamic components in Vue.js, we can use the this.$on method.

For instance, we write

<script>
export default {
  //...
  created() {
    const EVENTS = [
      { name: "my-event1", callback: () => console.log("event1") },
      { name: "my-event2", callback: () => console.log("event2") },
      { name: "my-event3", callback: () => console.log("event3") },
    ];

    for (const e of EVENTS) {
      this.$on(e.name, e.callback);
    }

    this.$on(["click", "keyup"], (e) => {
      console.log("event", e);
    });
  },
};
</script>

to call this.$on with one event name and a event handler callback as did in the for-of loop.

We can also call this.$on with an array of event names and an event handler callback for all the events.

Conclusion

To programmatically bind custom events for dynamic components in Vue.js, we can use the this.$on method.

Sometimes, we want to fix click event target gives element or it’s child and not parent element with Vue.js.

In this article, we’ll look at how to fix click event target gives element or it’s child and not parent element with Vue.js.

How to fix click event target gives element or it’s child and not parent element with Vue.js?

  <div>
    <a
      href="javascript:;"
      @click="showDetails(notification, $event)"
      v-for="notification in notifications"
      :key="notification.id"
    >
      <h4>title</h4>
      <p>test</p>
    </a>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  //...
  methods: {
    showDetails(notification, event) {
      //...
      console.dir(event.currentTarget);
    },
  },
};
</script>

to log event.currentTarget when the showDetails method runs.

It runs when we click on an anchor element.

event.currentTarget always has the element that we clicked on.

Conclusion

To fix click event target gives element or it’s child and not parent element with Vue.js, we should use the event.currentTarget property.

        name="portalSelect"
        v-model="newPortalSelect"
        :checked="portal.id == currentPortalId"
      />
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

to add the checked prop and set it to portal.id == currentPortalId.

As a result, when portal.id == currentPortalId returned true, we see the radio button selected.
