Javascript code:
var main = new Vue({
el: "#main",
data: {
currentView: "top",
},
});
var topComponent = Vue.component('top', Vue.extend({
template: "#top",
}));
Now when I access main.currentView, I get "top". But with this string 'top', how do i get the component topComponent?
From the VueJS guide
Despite the existence of props and events, sometimes you might still need to directly access a child component in JavaScript. To achieve this you have to assign a reference ID to the child component using
ref. For example:
var parent = new Vue({ el: '#parent' })
// access child component instance
var child = parent.$refs.profile<div id="parent">
<user-profile ref="profile"></user-profile>
</div>
It's easy. You can access the topComponent just using Vue.component.
var topComponent = Vue.component('top');
Now you have topComponent, you can do a lot of things with its methods.
cid
options
super
extend
directive
filter
partial
transition
component

It uses the v-view directive in the html, which takes a string to change the viewmodel displayed. Some sweet transitions going on as well.
