Vue component communication methods and their practices

In the development of Vue, component communication is a very important concept. It allows us to split a complex application into multiple independent components, making the interaction between components more flexible and efficient. Vue provides a variety of communication methods for components. We can choose the appropriate method for data transfer and interaction between components according to actual needs. This article will introduce several common methods of Vue component communication and give corresponding code examples.

1. Props and Events
Props and Events are the most basic and commonly used component communication methods in Vue. Through Props, parent components can pass data to child components; through Events, child components can send messages to parent components.

1. Props pass data
   The parent component passes data to the child component through the props attribute, and the child component receives the data through the props option.

Code example:

// 父组件
<template>
  <div>
    <child-component :message="parentMessage"></child-component>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import ChildComponent from './ChildComponent.vue'

export default {
  components: {
    ChildComponent
  },
  data() {
    return {
      parentMessage: 'Hello from parent component!'
    }
  }
}
</script>

// 子组件
<template>
  <div>{{ message }}</div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  props: {
    message: String
  }
}
</script>

In this example, the parent component passes parentMessage to the child via :message="parentMessage" Component, and defines the data type received by the sub-component through props.

2. Events send messages
   The child component sends messages to the parent component through the $emit method. The parent component receives messages by adding event listeners on the child component tags.

Code example:

// 父组件
<template>
  <div>
    <child-component @message="handleMessage"></child-component>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import ChildComponent from './ChildComponent.vue'

export default {
  components: {
    ChildComponent
  },
  methods: {
    handleMessage(message) {
      console.log(message)
    }
  }
}
</script>

// 子组件
<template>
  <button @click="sendMessage">Send Message</button>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  methods: {
    sendMessage() {
      this.$emit('message', 'Hello from child component!')
    }
  }
}
</script>

In this example, the child component passes this.$emit('message', 'Hello from child component!') To send a message, the parent component listens to the message of the child component through @message and processes it in the handleMessage method.

2. Vuex
Vuex is the official state management library of Vue. It provides a centralized way to manage application state and is used to solve the problem of sharing data between components.

The following are the basic steps for using Vuex for component communication:

1. Create a Vuex store object.
2. Define state in the store object, which is the state of the application.
3. Use getters to define some derived states for obtaining and calculating state values.
4. Use mutations to define some synchronization operations for modifying the value of state.
5. Use actions to define some asynchronous operations to handle some complex business logic.
6. Use this.$store.state in the component to get the value of state.

Code example:
The following is an example of a simple Vuex application. Suppose our application has a counter, and the value of the counter is incremented by clicking a button and displayed in the component.

// store.js
import Vue from 'vue'
import Vuex from 'vuex'

Vue.use(Vuex)

export default new Vuex.Store({
  state: {
    count: 0
  },
  mutations: {
    increment(state) {
      state.count++
    }
  },
  actions: {
    incrementCount({ commit }) {
      commit('increment')
    }
  }
})

// Counter.vue
<template>
  <div>
    <p>Count: {{ count }}</p>
    <button @click="incrementCount">Increment</button>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  computed: {
    count() {
      return this.$store.state.count
    }
  },
  methods: {
    incrementCount() {
      this.$store.dispatch('incrementCount')
    }
  }
}
</script>

In this example, we define a state named count and a mutation named increment. In the component, we use this.$store.state.count to get the value of count, and call incrementCount when the button is clicked via this.$store.dispatch('incrementCount') action.

3. Event Bus
Event Bus is a simple but powerful component communication method that uses Vue instances as the central event bus. We can listen to custom events on any component and trigger corresponding events on other components.

The following are the basic steps for component communication using Event Bus:

1. Create an Event Bus instance: const bus = new Vue()
2. Use the bus.$on method in the event-listening component to listen for custom events.
3. Use the bus.$emit method in the component that triggers the event to trigger the custom event.

Code example:

// Counter.vue
<template>
  <div>
    <p>Count: {{ count }}</p>
    <button @click="incrementCount">Increment</button>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      count: 0
    }
  },
  methods: {
    incrementCount() {
      this.count++
      this.$bus.$emit('count-updated', this.count)
    }
  },
  created() {
    this.$bus.$on('count-updated', (count) => {
      this.count = count
    })
  }
}
</script>

// main.js
import Vue from 'vue'

Vue.prototype.$bus = new Vue()

new Vue({
  render: h => h(App),
}).$mount('#app')

In this example, we create a data named count in the Counter component and increment the value of count by clicking the button. While incrementing count, we use this.$bus.$emit('count-updated', this.count) to trigger the count-updated event. In the created hook function of the Counter component, we use the this.$bus.$on method to listen to the count-updated event and update the value of count in the callback function.

Summary:
This article introduces several commonly used component communication methods in Vue and gives corresponding code examples. Props and Events are the most basic and commonly used component communication methods, suitable for data transfer and message sending between parent and child components. Vuex is a state management library used to manage application state. It is suitable for situations where state is shared between multiple components. Event Bus is a simple but powerful component communication method that can realize message passing between any components. According to actual needs, we can choose the appropriate component communication method to meet the interaction needs between different components. At the same time, more complex scenarios may require the use of other advanced component communication methods, such as provide/inject, etc. In the actual development process, we can flexibly use these component communication methods according to specific needs to achieve more efficient and flexible component interaction.
