I recently came across an interesting article about Renderless Components, which discuss splitting a component into a presentational (view) part and a renderless (logical) part using the $scopedSlots property. The concept was demonstrated with a simple Tag component that allows you to add a new tag when you press enter.

<div id="app">
<custom-component v-model="tags">
<div slot-scope="{tags,addTag,newTag}">
<span v-for="tag in tags">
{{tag}}
</span>
<input type="text" @keydown.enter.prevent="addTag" v-model="newTag">
</div>
</custom-component>
</div>
<script>
Vue.component('custom-component',{
props:['value'],
data(){
return {
newTag:''
}
},
methods:{
addTag(){
this.$emit('input',[...this.value,this.newTag])
this.newTag = ''
}
},
render(h){
return this.$scopedSlots.default({
tags:this.value,
addTag:this.addTag,
newTag:this.newTag
})
}
})
new Vue({
el:'#app',
data:{
tags:[
'Test',
'Design'
]
}
})
</script>
</body>
</html>
However, I encountered a problem where the newTag always remains an empty string. The error message suggested that 'v-model' cannot update the iteration variable 'newTag'. You can view a live demo here.
The solution proposed in the article is to use :value attribute binding and an @input event binding instead of v-model. You can see an updated demo on JSBin for reference.

this.newTag = e.target.value
},
keydown:(e) => {
if(e.keyCode === 13){
e.preventDefault()
this.addTag()

})
}
})
new Vue({
el:'#app',
data:{
tags:[
'Test',
'Design'
]
}
})

I'm still puzzled as to why v-model isn't working in my case.
EDIT
While previous questions have been answered, I have encountered another issue related to v-model not functioning as expected. It seems to be a problem with 'sp.foo' being assigned as an object.

<body>
<div id="app">
<base-test v-slot="sp">
<input type="text" v-model="sp.foo">
<div>{{ sp}}</div>
</base-test>
</div>
<script>
Vue.component('base-test', {
template: `
<div>
<slot :foo="foo"></slot>
</div>
`,
data(){
return{
foo: 'Bar',
}
}
});
// Mount
new Vue({
el: '#app',
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
If anyone has insights on how to resolve the v-model issue in this scenario, please feel free to share your thoughts.
