Passing a custom Vue component as a property to a parent component

Question

Passing a custom Vue component as a property to a parent component

Struggling to find answers to my unique question, I'm attempting to create an interface where users can drag or input images using Vue. I've developed a component called Card, which combines Vue and Bulma to create card-like objects with props for title and content. Easy enough to use when the data is pre-loaded text or image.

However, my challenge lies in embedding another vue component, specifically the PictureInput component from vue-picture-input on NPM, within the Card. I've delved into reactive props and dynamic components in the Vue documentation, but neither addresses this scenario directly.

Code:

Card.vue:

 // Code snippet for the Card.vue goes here

ImageInput.vue:

// Code snippet for the ImageInput.vue goes here

My attempt at dynamically generating the PictureInput object and passing it as the content prop to Card failed due to errors related to cyclic object values and missing methods in the PictureInputClass object. Even simplifying to

<Card :title="makeCardTitle()" :content="PictureInput"/>

resulted in undefined references during rendering. Perhaps changing content to a named slot could be a solution?

I value Vue's flexibility in component reusability and integration, hence my persistence in finding a way to make the PictureInput a child of the Card component without drastic template modifications.

In order to incorporate the PictureInput component into the Card component, I would utilize slots. The following code snippet provides a simplified example:

Card.vue

<template>
  <div class="card is-size-7-mobile is-fluid">
        <div class="card-header">
            <a class="card-header-title">

                <span class="is-info" @click="isExpanable = !isExpanable">{{title}}</span>
            </a>
        </div>
        <div v-if='isExpanable'>
            <slot/> <!-- Slot for inserting the <PictureInput/> -->
        </div>
    </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      isExpanable: false,
    }
  },
  props: {
    title: String,
  }
};
</script>

<style scoped>
.card {
  border-radius: 1em;
  background-color: transparent !important;
  border-color: transparent !important;
}
.card-header {
  box-shadow: transparent;
}
</style>

ImageInput.vue

<template>
<div class="content">
    <Card :title="makeCardTitle">
        <PictureInput/>
    </Card>
</div>
</template>

<script>
import PictureInput from 'vue-picture-input';
import Card from './Card';

export default {
    name: 'ImageInput',
    components: {
        PictureInput,
        Card
    },
    props: {
        idx:{
            type:Number,
            default: 0
        }
    },
    computed: {
        makeCardTitle: function(){
            return "page ".concat(String(this.idx));
        }
    }
}
</script>

I hope this helps point you in the right direction. Remember, you typically don't need to use Vue.extend(PictureInput) as long as it's added to the components option key.

        }
    }
}
</script>
