I am currently working on coding a table with pagination components and I have implemented multiple v-models along with the use of watch on these variables to fetch data. Whenever the perPage value is updated, I need to reset the page value to 1. However, this results in the watch method being triggered twice - once for perPage and then again for page.
Is there a way to update a variable without triggering the watch at that specific moment?
Below is my current code snippet:
<script setup lang="ts">
const sort = ref(route.query.sort || 'created_at')
const filters = ref(route.query.filters || {})
const page = ref(route.query.page ? parseInt(route.query.page.toString()) : 1)
const perPage = ref(route.query.per_page ? parseInt(route.query.per_page.toString()) : 10)
watch([sort, filters, page, perPage], ([oldSort, oldFilters, oldPage, oldPerPage], [newSort, newFilters, newPage, newPerPage]) => {
if (oldPerPage !== newPerPage)
page.value = 1
fetchItems()
router.push({
query: {
...route.query,
sort: sort.value,
// filters: filters.value,
page: page.value,
per_page: perPage.value,
},
})
})
async function fetchItems() {
items.value = await userApi.list({
filters: toRaw(filters.value),
sort: sort.value,
page: page.value,
perPage: perPage.value,
})
}
</script>
<template>
<CTable
:pagination-enabled="true"
v-model:sort="sort"
v-model:page="page"
v-model:per-page="perPage"
:total-items="items.meta.total"
:total-pages="items.meta.last_page"
/>
</template>
The only workaround I found is to add a return statement when resetting the page value:
watch(..., () => {
if (oldPerPage !== newPerPage) {
page.value = 1
return
}
fetchItems()
...
})
This solution works for my case, but I would prefer a method to update the variable without triggering the watch method for other situations as well.
Thank you!
