is there any way that i can override the click event through Vue.js

Question

I am currently using Vue-datatable, where I have a generic vue component as . I am using this base component to render data table and I have a @click event in the in the element. but as I use this component in various places I want the @click event to be overridden so that, I could call the diffenent method as per my need.

the below file is BaseTable.vue

<v-app id="inspire">
  <v-data-table
    v-model="selected"
    :headers="headers"
    :items="desserts"
    :pagination.sync="pagination"
    select-all
    item-key="name"
    class="elevation-1"
  >
    <template v-slot:headers="props">
      <tr>
        <th>
          <v-checkbox
            :input-value="props.all"
            :indeterminate="props.indeterminate"
            primary
            hide-details
            @click.stop="toggleAll"
          ></v-checkbox>
        </th>
        <th
          v-for="header in props.headers"
          :key="header.text"
          :class="['column sortable', pagination.descending ? 'desc' : 'asc', header.value === pagination.sortBy ? 'active' : '']"
          @click="changeSort(header.value)"
        >
          <v-icon small>arrow_upward</v-icon>
          {{ header.text }}
        </th>
      </tr>
    </template>
    <template v-slot:items="props">
      <tr :active="props.selected" @click="props.selected = !props.selected">
        <td>
          <v-checkbox
            :input-value="props.selected"
            primary
            hide-details
          ></v-checkbox>
        </td>
        <td>{{ props.item.name }}</td>
        <td class="text-xs-right">{{ props.item.calories }}</td>
        <td class="text-xs-right">{{ props.item.fat }}</td>
        <td class="text-xs-right">{{ props.item.carbs }}</td>
        <td class="text-xs-right">{{ props.item.protein }}</td>
        <td class="text-xs-right">{{ props.item.iron }}</td>
      </tr>
    </template>
  </v-data-table>
</v-app>
</template>```

Could I possibly override the triggercall method shown above in the code?
Thanks.

Trigger an event from your component, which can be listened from the parent component.

Let say in your DataTable component there is button which triggers a click :

 <button @click="$emit('triggerClick')">
     Hey trigger when someone clicks me
 </button>`

Now where you want to use DataTable component and want to execute a method when someone clicks the button which is inside DataTable

simply -

<Your-Component>

  <DataTable @triggerClick="yourMethodFoo"/>

</Your-component>

In case you want to have method inside the component and can override that from parent. Then this is the optional behaviour you want- It's like you want to create a which behaves globally.

You need to have an extra prop to tell your global component that you want method to be overridden by a parent method.

props: {
  parentHandler: {
    type: Boolean,
    default: false
  }
}

methods: {
  triggerClick() {
    if (this.parentHandler) {
      this.$emit(triggerClick)
       return
    }
    // execute anything bydefault

  }
}

<button @click="triggerClick">
   Hey trigger when someone clicks me
</button>`

So by default you will execute your default method but if you pass parentHandler= true to component it will execute the parent method

<Your-Component>
  <DataTable :parentHandler="true" @triggerClick="yourMethodFoo"/>
</Your-component>
