There are several methods available to facilitate data sharing between components.
In this scenario, with the v-text-field
connected to your search
data, you can easily transfer it to your Datatable
component.
<div id="app">
<v-text-field v-model="search" ... />
<Datatable v-bind:search="search" ... />
</div>
Subsequently, you must retrieve and utilize it within your Datatable
component.
Alternate Methods of Data Sharing:
Service Bus
An option is to establish a serviceBus
that broadcasts changes throughout your application. Refer to this blog post for further details.
In your case, you would set up a listener for
serviceBus.$on('searchInitiated', (query) => { ... })
in your datatable component - while triggering the search in the search component by executing
serviceBus.$emit('searchInitiated', this.search)
;
This approach enables the sharing of component state across distinct components without being restricted by hierarchy.
Passing Data to Child Components via Props
Another approach involves allowing a "parent component" to manage your state and then transmitting the data to child components.
This method may become cumbersome if dealing with a complex component structure, as the prop needs to be passed from one component to another.
Dispatching Messages to Parents through Events
You also have the ability to dispatch values from a child component (Search
) to the parent component (App
), and subsequently share this information with your DataTable
.
Similar to the "Service bus" example, the difference lies in not having a "shared bus" - instead, requiring the attachment of the callback specifically to your child component.
Share state using vuex
Utilizing vuex
presents another avenue for sharing state among components. Explore here for a comprehensive guide on initiating this process.
