emit on vue code example

Example 1: how to emit a function in vue

this.$emit('myEvent')

Example 2: vue pass data from child to parent

<script>
// @ is an alias to /src (in a vue-cli generated project)
import Child from '@/components/Child.vue'

// You also need to declare that the imported child component will be used:
export default {
  components: {
    Child
  }
}
</script>

/****************************************************************/

<template>
  <div>
    <!-- simplest prop - pass a string -->
    <Child title="This is my title"></Child>

    <!-- Pass an object, defined inline -->
    <Child :parentData="{msg: 'xxx'}"></Child>

    <!-- Pass an object, defined in the `data()` method -->
    <Child :parentData="myData"></Child>

    <!-- Pass a string variable, defined in `data()`. Note colon. -->
    <Child :stringProp="stringMessage"></Child>
  </div>
</template>

/****************************************************************/


<script>
export default {
  name: 'Child',
  // To use props, they must be declared
  props: {
    parentData: Object,
    stringProp: String,
    title: String
  }
}
</script>

    Listen for `childToParent`: the first parameter of the `$emit` method
    in the child component. We're also listening and reacting to an
    `increment` event - in this case, we increment a counter inline.
