Just a quick question.
Can you force Vue.js
to reload/recalculate everything? If so, how?
Just a quick question.

Try this magic spell:
vm.$forceUpdate();
No need to create any hanging vars :)
Update: I found this solution when I only started working with VueJS. However further exploration proved this approach as a crutch. As far as I recall, in a while I got rid of it simply putting all the properties that failed to refresh automatically (mostly nested ones) into computed properties.
More info here: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/computed.html
This seems like a pretty clean solution from matthiasg on this issue:
you can also use
:key="someVariableUnderYourControl"
and change the key when you want to component to be completely rebuilt
For my use case, I was feeding a Vuex getter into a component as a prop. Somehow Vuex would fetch the data but the reactivity wouldn't reliably kick in to rerender the component. In my case, setting the component key
to some attribute on the prop guaranteed a refresh when the getters (and the attribute) finally resolved.

The horrible way: reloading the entire page
The terrible way: using the v-if hack
The better way: using Vue’s built-in forceUpdate method
The best way: key-changing on your component
<template>
<component-to-re-render :key="componentKey" />
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
componentKey: 0,
};
},
methods: {
forceRerender() {
this.componentKey += 1;
}
}
}
</script>
I also use watch: in some situations.
...do you need to force an update?
Perhaps you are not exploring Vue at its best:
To have Vue automatically react to value changes, the objects must be initially declared in
data
. Or, if not, they must be added usingVue.set()
.
See comments in the demo below. Or open the same demo in a JSFiddle here.
new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: {
person: {
name: 'Edson'
}
},
methods: {
changeName() {
// because name is declared in data, whenever it
// changes, Vue automatically updates
this.person.name = 'Arantes';
},
changeNickname() {
// because nickname is NOT declared in data, when it
// changes, Vue will NOT automatically update
this.person.nickname = 'Pele';
// although if anything else updates, this change will be seen
},
changeNicknameProperly() {
// when some property is NOT INITIALLY declared in data, the correct way
// to add it is using Vue.set or this.$set
Vue.set(this.person, 'address', '123th avenue.');
// subsequent changes can be done directly now and it will auto update
this.person.address = '345th avenue.';
}
}
})
/* CSS just for the demo, it is not necessary at all! */
span:nth-of-type(1),button:nth-of-type(1) { color: blue; }
span:nth-of-type(2),button:nth-of-type(2) { color: red; }
span:nth-of-type(3),button:nth-of-type(3) { color: green; }
span { font-family: monospace }
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue"></script>
<div id="app">
<span>person.name: {{ person.name }}</span><br>
<span>person.nickname: {{ person.nickname }}</span><br>
<span>person.address: {{ person.address }}</span><br>
<br>
<button @click="changeName">this.person.name = 'Arantes'; (will auto update because `name` was in `data`)</button><br>
<button @click="changeNickname">this.person.nickname = 'Pele'; (will NOT auto update because `nickname` was not in `data`)</button><br>
<button @click="changeNicknameProperly">Vue.set(this.person, 'address', '99th st.'); (WILL auto update even though `address` was not in `data`)</button>
<br>

For more info, read the comments in the code. Or check the docs on <b>Reactivity</b> (link below).
</div>
To master this part of Vue, check the Official Docs on Reactivity - Change Detection Caveats. It is a must read!
Try to use this.$router.go(0);
to manually reload the current page.
Use vm.$set('varName', value)
. Look for details into Change_Detection_Caveats.
Sure .. you can simply use the key attribute to force re-render (recreation) at any time.
<mycomponent :key="somevalueunderyourcontrol"></mycomponent>
See https://jsfiddle.net/mgoetzke/epqy1xgf/ for an example
It was also discussed here: https://github.com/vuejs/Discussion/issues/356#issuecomment-336060875
<my-component :key="uniqueKey" />
along with it use this.$set(obj,'obj_key',value)
and update uniqueKey
for every update in object (obj) value
for every update this.uniqueKey++
it worked for me this way
So there's two way you can do this,
$forceUpdate()
inside your method handler i.e<your-component @click="reRender()"></your-component>
<script>
export default {
methods: {
reRender(){
this.$forceUpdate()
}
}
}
</script>
:key
attribute to your component and increment when want to rerender<your-component :key="index" @click="reRender()"></your-component>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
index: 1
}
},
methods: {
reRender(){
this.index++
}
}
}
</script>
In order to reload/re-render/refresh component, stop the long codings. There is a Vue.JS way of doing that.
Just use :key
attribute.
For example:
<my-component :key="unique" />
I am using that one in BS Vue Table Slot. Telling that I will do something for this component so make it unique.
using v-if directive
<div v-if="trulyvalue">
<component-here />
</div>
So simply by changing the value of trulyvalue from false to true will cause the component between the div to rerender again
just add this code:
this.$forceUpdate()
GoodLuck
I found a way. It's a bit hacky but works.
vm.$set("x",0);
vm.$delete("x");
Where vm
is your view-model object, and x
is a non-existent variable.
Vue.js will complain about this in the console log but it does trigger a refresh for all data. Tested with version 1.0.26.
Worked for me
data () {
return {
userInfo: null,
offers: null
}
},
watch: {
'$route'() {
this.userInfo = null
this.offers = null
this.loadUserInfo()
this.getUserOffers()
}
}
<router-view :key="$route.params.slug" />
just use key with your any params its auto reload children..
I had this issue with an image gallery that I wanted to rerender due to changes made on a different tab. So tab1 = imageGallery, tab2 = favoriteImages
tab @change="updateGallery()" -> this forces my v-for directive to process the filteredImages function every time I switch tabs.
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
currentTab: 0,
tab: null,
colorFilter: "",
colors: ["None", "Beige", "Black"],
items: ["Image Gallery", "Favorite Images"]
};
},
methods: {
filteredImages: function() {
return this.$store.getters.getImageDatabase.filter(img => {
if (img.color.match(this.colorFilter)) return true;
});
},
updateGallery: async function() {
// instance is responsive to changes
// change is made and forces filteredImages to do its thing
// async await forces the browser to slow down and allows changes to take effect
await this.$nextTick(function() {
this.colorFilter = "Black";
});
await this.$nextTick(function() {
// Doesnt hurt to zero out filters on change
this.colorFilter = "";
});
}
}
};
</script>
sorry guys, except page reload method(flickering), none of them works for me (:key didn't worked).
and i found this method from old vue.js forum which is works for me:
https://github.com/vuejs/Discussion/issues/356
<template>
<div v-if="show">
<button @click="rerender">re-render</button>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data(){
return {show:true}
},
methods:{
rerender(){
this.show = false
this.$nextTick(() => {
this.show = true
console.log('re-render start')
this.$nextTick(() => {
console.log('re-render end')
})
})
}
}
}
</script>
The approach of adding :key
to the vue-router lib's router-view
component cause's fickers for me, so I went vue-router's 'in-component guard' to intercept updates and refresh the entire page accordingly when there's an update of the path on the same route (as $router.go, $router.push, $router.replace weren't any help). The only caveat with this is that we're for a second breaking the singe-page app behavior, by refreshing the page.
beforeRouteUpdate(to, from, next) {
if (to.path !== from.path) {
window.location = to.path;
}
},
