[feature] A way to listen for custom events from programmatic modals

[xaddict]

Problem:

I have a dynamic modal where the user can link two entities.
Depending on what they do in the modal I would like to emit a custom event because in all cases I need to do something else in the parent component:

• this.$emit('reload-list')
• this.$emit('entities-unlinked')
• this.$emit('oh-crap')

With a non-programmatic modal this is easy to do:

<CustomCom @reload-list="reloadStuff" />

the parent component has a method reloadStuff and the modal in CustomCom can then emit reload-list

however, with a programmatic modal:

this.$modal.show(CustomCom, props, params, events)

this event just gets shot into the ether and there's no real way to catch it.

So I would like a way to add this to events:

this.$modal.show(
  CustomCom,
  { ...props },
  { ...params },
  {
    'before-open': this.beforeOpen,
    'before-close': this.beforeClose
    'reload-list': this.reloadStuff
  }
)

Version:

1.3.35

I have checked stackoverflow for solutions and 100% sure that this issue is not not related to my code.

You can pass functions as props. Here is how I'd do it:

Define the function to catch event from child component in parent

export default {
  name: 'ParentComp'
  methods: {
    catchChildEvent(eventFromChildComp) {
      console.log(eventFromChildComp)
    }
  }
}

Insert function as a prop in dynamic modal

this.$modal.show(
  ChildComp,
  {
     catchChildEvent: this.catchChildEvent
  },
  {
    name: 'ChildComp'
  },
  {
    'before-open': this.beforeOpen,
    'before-close': this.beforeClose
  }
)

Execute function in child component

<template>
  <div id="childComp">
    <a href="#" @click.prevent="eventOnChild('Hi, I came from child component!')" v-text="'click me!'" />
  </div>
</template>

export default {
  name: 'ChildComp',
  props: {
    catchChildEvent: {
      type: Function,
      default: () => {}
    }
  },
  methods: {
    eventOnChild(message) {
      this.catchChildEvent(message)
    }
  }
}

It's a pretty clean workaround so I will try it.

But I would prefer just using plain emitters :)

I would also like to use emitters, do you think that would be possible ?

临时解决方案

let vm = this;
this.$modal.show(
 {
  extends: CustomCom,
  created(){
      this.$on('reload-list', vm.reloadStuff )
  }
},
  { ...props },
  { ...params },
  {
    'before-open': this.beforeOpen,
    'before-close': this.beforeClose
  }
)

@poulSoul global listeners will be deprecated in Vue 3.

Functions like described @marcoelissa don't have this problem. So I will use that for now.
