Whenever I use v-bind to bind an element reference with :ref="testThis", it appears to stop functioning. Take a look at this working version:
<template>
<div>
<q-btn round big color='red' @click="IconClick">
YES
</q-btn>
<div>
<input
ref="file0"
multiple
type="file"
accept=".gif,.jpg,.jpeg,.png,.bmp,.JPG"
@change="testMe"
style='opacity:0'
>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import { QBtn } from 'quasar-framework'
export default {
name: 'hello',
components: {
QBtn
},
data () {
return {
file10: 'file0'
}
},
methods: {
IconClick () {
this.$refs['file0'].click()
},
testMe () {
console.log('continue other stuff')
}
}
}
</script>
Now, take a look at the version that DOES NOT work, this one:
<template>
<div>
<q-btn round big color='red' @click="IconClick">
YES
</q-btn>
<div>
<input
:ref="testThis"
multiple
type="file"
accept=".gif,.jpg,.jpeg,.png,.bmp,.JPG"
@change="testMe"
style='opacity:0'
>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import { QBtn } from 'quasar-framework'
export default {
name: 'hello',
components: {
QBtn
},
data () {
return {
file10: 'file0'
}
},
methods: {
IconClick () {
this.$refs['file0'].click()
},
testThis () {
return 'file0'
},
testMe () {
console.log('continue other stuff')
}
}
}
</script>
The first example works fine, but the second one throws an error:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'click' of undefined
at VueComponent.IconClick
I need to have a bound reference in order to vary it based on a list index (not shown here). Why is the binding not working and throwing an error?
