I am trying to use bootstrap-datepicker with Vue.js Trying to create a simple datepicker component. The problem is, when I write into input, component's data is updated. But when I use datepicker gui, it doesn't work. Data is not updated. Why? What is missing exactly?
Here is my code:
Vue.component('picker', {
'props': {
'date': {
'twoWay': true
}
},
'template': '\
<div class="form-group">\
<div class="input-group date datepicker">\
<input type="text" class="form-control" v-bind:value="this.date">\
<span class="input-group-addon">\
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></span>\
</span>\
</div>\
</div>',
'watch': {
'date': function(value) {
console.log('Updated!');
}
},
'mounted': function() {
$(this.$el.firstChild).datetimepicker();
}
});
app = new Vue({
'el': '#app',
'data': {}
});

Got it to work by dispatching the input Event upon changing the date.
I couldn't find a better way than losing focus (blur).
Here's my code:
The point is, you really can't use it if your element does not lose focus. It updates the data when input loses its focus. IDK any better way.
v-on:focus
is irrelevant. It just opens the datetime picker UI when input gains focus.The main job is done by
select_by_lose_focus
.Use ` instead of ' for the template, because it contains several lines.
this will solve your problem :)
got this problem and got it to work by initializing the date-picker after initializing the vue. e.g:
Another example using $emit and v-model on the component. This page describes why value and $emit are needed to support v-model. I needed a form element name and optional required class for validation.

Thanks for the answer @nejdetckenobi, if picking date only, the blur approach works. However, if picking both date & time, I found that the blur approach didn't work so well.
Instead I followed the Vue.js wrapper component example. It makes use of
on('change', function(){})
and$emit
.The code below that worked for me (in my setup) with date formatting, a key part is in
mounted
section of yourvue component
declaration.The key part is here:
