Vue.js v-model with dynamic list of radio buttons


I am trying to make a reuseable vue radio-button component that will take a variable name, and an object containing labels and values, then render a list of radio buttons using v-for.

I have had success with each half of the problem, but have not managed to combine them:

  1. I can make a set of radio buttons bound to the data model, where the buttons are defined statically in the template, but I don't know how to make the list dynamic. Here is the code for that:

//component
const Radio = {
	template: '#test',
  prop: ['value'],
  data () {
    return {
      selected: this.value
    }
  },
  model: {
	  prop: 'value',
      event: 'change'
  },
  methods: {
    handleClickInput (e) {
      this.$emit('change', this.selected)
    }
  }
}

//app
var app2 = new Vue({
  el: '#app2',
  data: { 	
  		door: '',
			doorOptions: {
				'Yes': 1,
				'No': 0,
			}
	},
  components: { Radio, }
})
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.17/vue.js"></script>
<div id="app2">
  <radio v-model="door"></radio>
  <p>
    door = {{door}}
  </p>
</div>


<template id="test">
  <div>
    <input type="radio" value="0" v-model="selected" @change="handleClickInput">0
    <input type="radio" value="1" v-model="selected" @change="handleClickInput">1
  </div>
</template>

  1. I can make a dynamic list of radio buttons based on an "options" object, but can't find a way to bind them to the data model. Here is the code for that:

// component
Vue.component('radio-set', {
  template: '#radio-set',
  props: {
			'label-name': '',
			'variable': '',
			'options': '',
		},
  methods: {
    clicked: function(variable, key, value) {
    // none of this is right, it doesn't update the vue data model
		window[variable] = value; //assign the new value to the dynamic variable name
		selected = value;
		this.$emit("click-event", variable) //create the click event for model updating by the parent
    }
  },
})

//app
var app = new Vue({
  el: '#vueApp',
  data: {
    door:'initial value',
		doorOptions: {
		  'Yes':1,
		  'No':0,
      'Maybe':5,
      'A new option':25
		},
		
  },
  methods: {
		buttonClick: function(p1){
			console.log(p1+': '+window[p1]); //the variable was assigned inside the child component
		}
  }
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.17/vue.js"></script>
<div id="vueApp">
	<radio-set 
		label-name="Radio button set" 
		variable="door" 
		:options="doorOptions"
		@click-event="buttonClick" 
	>door: {{door}}
	</radio-set>
</div>

<template id="radio-set">
	<div>
		<label>{{labelName}}:</label>
		<button 
      type="button" 
      v-for="(val, key) in options"
      @click="clicked(variable, key, val)" 
      >
      {{ key }}
		</button>
	 </div>
</template>

Could anyone help with a couple of pointers on how I could move forwards?


Solution

  • As @PierreSaid mentioned, you can read more about v-model usage on custom componet.

    This is an other example to use input[type="radio"] and emit change event back to parent componet.

    // component
    Vue.component('radio-set', {
      template: '#radio-set',
      props: {
        'label-name': '',
        'value': '',
        'options': '',
      }
    })
    
    //app
    var app = new Vue({
      el: '#vueApp',
      data() {
        return {
          door: null,
          doorOptions: {
            'Yes': 1,
            'No': 0,
            'Maybe': 5,
            'A new option': 25
          }
        };
      }
    });
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.17/vue.min.js"></script>
    <div id="vueApp">
      <radio-set label-name="Radio button set" v-model="door" :options="doorOptions"></radio-set>
      door: {{door}}
    </div>
    
    <template id="radio-set">
      <div>
        <div>{{labelName}}:</div>
        <label v-for="(val, key) in options" :key="val">
          <input type="radio" 
            :name="labelName" 
            :value="val" 
            :checked="val == value" 
            @change="$emit('input', val)"> 
          {{ key }}
        </label>
      </div>
    </template>
