I'm trying to access the instance methods/data through a triggered method inside a custom registered Vue component.
Below a basic example:
Vue.component('example-component', {
template: `<div>
<h2>Count: {{count}}</h2>
<button class="btn btn-primary" v-on:click="increment()">Increment</button>
</div>`,
data: () => {
return {
count: 0
}
},
methods: {
increment: () => {
console.log("Click!");
console.log("Current count: ", this.count);
this.count++;
console.log("New count: ", this.count);
},
decrement: () => {
// other function
}
},
mounted: () => {
console.log("Example component mounted!");
}
});
Results:
Example component mounted!
Click!
Current count: undefined
New count: NaN
As you might notice the property 'count' has been loaded during the component mount and is available/rendered inside the HTML. The method 'increment()' has also been triggered. However, 'this.count' seems to be unreachable like possible other methods (e.g. 'this.decrement()') which will throw a TypeError this.decrement is not a function.
Any suggestions if this approach is even possible?
PS. I'm aware of the default approach via a .vue file registery like:
Vue.component('example-component', require('./components/ExampleComponent.vue').default);
mounted, etc, shouldn't be arrow functions
