I'm new to Vue JS and I'm building an application with Laravel Spark and trying to utilize Vue as much as possible.
I have a form to simply add an 'Asset Type' with a component. Once the Asset Type is successfully created, a list of properties is grabbed from the database and set to a 'data' attribute. In my view(I'm using an inline template), I have a 'v-for' that creates a form for each property that has two hidden inputs for the property id and the type id, and one "Add" button that assigns the property to the newly created type.
THE PROBLEM: I can't seem to assign the value of the hidden inputs within the view while using v-models. When I submit one of the forms, the form request data always returns the initial data value from the new SparkForm object.
In other words, I need to assign the hidden input values within the v-for loop in the view.
Here's my component:
Vue.component('new-asset-type', {
props: [],
data() {
return {
// type_id: this.type_id,
properties: this.properties,
newAssetType: new SparkForm({
label: null,
enabled: false,
}),
assignPropForm: new SparkForm({
prop_id: "",
type_id: "",
}),
};
},
methods: {
createType: function () {
Spark.post('/asset-types', this.newAssetType)
.then(response => {
this.type_id = response.type_id;
axios.get('/getTypeNotProps/' + this.type_id).then((response) => {
this.properties = response.data;
console.log(this.properties);
});
})
.catch(response => {
console.log("fail");
});
},
assignProp: function () {
Spark.post('/asset-properties/add', this.assignPropForm)
.then(response => {
console.log(response);
})
.catch(response => {
console.log("fail");
});
}
}
});
And here's my view:
@extends('spark::layouts.app')
@section('content')
<new-asset-type inline-template>
<div class="container">
<!-- Application Dashboard -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8 col-md-offset-2">

Thanks to the helpful comments, I learned that I shouldn't have been using hidden inputs at all. Instead, I simply passed the variables to the function on the click event.
<button class="btn btn-primary" @click="assignProp(type_id, property.p_id)" >
Add
</button>
Then in my component
methods: {
assignProp: function (type_id, property_id) {
var assignPropForm = new SparkForm({
propvalue: property_id,
typevalue: type_id,
});
Spark.post('/asset-properties/add', assignPropForm)
.then(response => {
console.log(response);
})
.catch(response => {
console.log("fail");
});
}
}
