@graphiteds/vue2-gr-model

Vue 2 directive for two-way binding Graphite components

A custom Vue 2 directive that makes two-way binding Graphite components easier.

Usage

Install the directive with this command.

npm install @graphiteds/vue2-gr-model

Next, import the directive into your app and enable it like this.

import GraphiteModelDirective from '@graphiteds/vue2-gr-model';

Vue.use(GraphiteModelDirective);
Vue.config.ignoredElements = [/^gr-/];

// Your init here
new Vue({ ... });

Now you can use the v-gr-model directive to keep your data in sync!

<gr-input v-gr-model="name"></gr-input>

Note: this syncs with the value property. Except for gr-checkbox, it syncs with the checked property.

Why is this necessary?

Currently, there's no support for v-model on custom elements in Vue 2. You can handle two-way binding manually, but's it rather verbose.

<!-- This doesn't work -->
<gr-input v-model="name"></gr-input>

<!-- This works, but it's a bit longer -->
<gr-input :value="name" @gr-change="name = $event.target.value"></gr-input>

This utility solves this problem by creating a custom directive that works just like v-model but for Graphite components.
