I'm new to vuejs. I'm trying to create my first app. I would like to show a confirm message on every click on buttons.
Example:
<button class="btn btn-danger" v-on:click="reject(proposal)">reject</button>
My question is: Can I extend the v-on:click event to show the confirm everywhere? I would make my custom directive called v-confirm-click that first executes a confirm and then, if I click on "ok", executes the click event. Is it possible?
I would recommend a component instead. Directives in Vue are generally used for direct DOM manipulation. In most cases where you think you need a directive, a component is better.
Here is an example of a confirm button component.
Vue.component("confirm-button",{
props:["onConfirm", "confirmText"],
template:`<button @click="onClick"><slot></slot></button>`,
methods:{
onClick(){
if (confirm(this.confirmText))
this.onConfirm()
}
}
})
Which you could use like this:
<confirm-button :on-confirm="confirm" confirm-text="Are you sure?">
Confirm
</confirm-button>
Here is an example.
console.clear()
Vue.component("confirm-button", {
props: ["onConfirm", "confirmText"],
template: `<button @click="onClick"><slot></slot></button>`,
methods: {
onClick() {
if (confirm(this.confirmText))
this.onConfirm()
}
}
})
new Vue({
el: "#app",
methods: {
confirm() {
alert("Confirmed!")
}
}
})<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/vue.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<confirm-button :on-confirm="confirm" confirm-text="Are you sure?">
Confirm
</confirm-button>
</div>I do not know of a way to extend a directive. It is easy enough to include a confirm call in the click handler. It won't convert every click to a confirmed click, but neither would writing a new directive; in either case, you have to update all your code to use the new form.
new Vue({
el: '#app',
methods: {
reject(p) {
alert("Rejected " + p);
}
}
});<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.3.4/vue.min.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<button class="btn btn-danger" @click="confirm('some message') && reject('some arg')">reject</button>
</div>
