I have the following:
Vue.component('times-updated', {
template: '<span>Times Updated: {{ timesUpdated }}</span>',
data: function() {
return {
timesUpdated: this.$parent.myData.timesUpdated
}
}
});
var vm = new Vue({
el: '#test',
data: function() {
return {
myData: {}
}
}
})
setInterval(function(){
$.ajax({
url: `${window.location.href}/json`, // This just returns an array : array.timesUpdated: 2 etc
}).done(function (data) {
vm.myData = data; // changes this data
});
}, 1000)
and am using the following html:
<div class="test">
<times-updated></times-updated>
</div>
I poll a REST API that returns an array which includes a timesUpdated property:
{
timesUpdated: 5
}
My intention is that every second I use jQuery's $.ajax method to call the API, update the myData data object on vm, which would then update the times-updated component.
The code works on initial page load, the times-updated component can retrieve the value on its parent's myData property, but whilst I have confirms that vm.myData does reflect the new value from the API, the component doesn't update its display to show the new count.
What could be causing this issue?
