Struggling with a Vue.js project where the DOM fails to update after a data change. Below is the code snippet causing the issue:
Template:
<div>
<h1 ref="title">{{ customerName }}</h1>
<!-- Other template elements -->
</div>
Script:
async updateCustomerInformation(selectedGroup) {
if (this.newCustomerName) {
try {
await axios.put(`api/groups/${selectedGroup.id}`, {
data: { customerName: this.newCustomerName },
}).then(result => {
this.customerName = result.data.data.attributes.customerName;
});
} catch (error) {
this.errorMessage = 'An error occurred while updating the group. Please refresh the page and try again.';
this.snackbar = true;
}
}
},
The data for customerName updates correctly, but the bound DOM element does not reflect the change. Attempts to use a watch have been ineffective.
watch: {
customerName() {
this.$nextTick(() => {
this.$refs.title.$forceUpdate();
});
}
},
If you have any advice on how to ensure the DOM updates after a data change, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
