Vue v-on:click does not work on component
I'm trying to use the on click directive inside a component but it does not seem to work. When I click the component nothings happens when I should get a 'test clicked' in the console. I don't see any errors in the console, so I don't know what am I doing wrong.
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>vuetest</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="app"></div>
<!-- built files will be auto injected -->
</body>
</html>
App.vue
<template>
<div id="app">
<test v-on:click="testFunction"></test>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Test from './components/Test'
export default {
name: 'app',
methods: {
testFunction: function (event) {
console.log('test clicked')
}
},
components: {
Test
}
}
</script>
Test.vue (the component)
<template>
<div>
click here
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: 'test',
data () {
return {
msg: 'Welcome to Your Vue.js App'
}
}
}
</script>
Answer
If you want to listen to a native event on the root element of a component, you have to use the .native modifier for v-on, like following:
<template>
<div id="app">
<test v-on:click.native="testFunction"></test>
</div>
</template>
or in shorthand, as suggested in comment, you can as well do:
<template>
<div id="app">
<test @click.native="testFunction"></test>
</div>
</template>
