I am attempting to share data from a variable favorite_count in the Favorites component located in the file Favorites.vue. My goal is to pass this data to the App Component in the App.vue file but I have been unsuccessful so far. I want any changes made to the value of favorite_count in the Favorites component to also reflect in the App Component. Despite conducting thorough research online, I have not found a solution yet. Any suggestions on what could be causing the issue?
Favorites.vue file
<template>
<div class="row m-5">
<h3 class="col-8">Your Favorites</h3>
<div class="col-4">
<p class="pull-right m-1">Picks
<span >{{ favorite_count }}</span> / 5</p>
</div>
<hr>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: 'favorites',
data() {
return {
favorite_count: 5,
}
},
methods: {
changeFavoriteCount() {
this.favorite_count = this.favorite_count + 2;
},
emitToParent (event) {
this.$emit('childToParent', this.favorite_count)
}
}
}
</script>
App.vue file
<template>
<div class="navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-dark bg-primary">
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarResponsive">
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item">
<router-link to="/favorites" class="btn btn-info">
Favorites ( {{ favorite_count }} )
</router-link>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Favorites from './components/Favorites.vue'
export default {
name: 'App',
components: {
Favorites
},
data () {
return {
favorite_count: 0,
}
}
}
</script>
