I'm new to Vue and trying to display a list of "notes" which update when a button is hit (I've just hardcoded the value to add for now). The trouble is that after I add a new item to the array, this isn't updated in the UI. I'm using Vue3 and The :key I'm using is unique. Other "widgets" I've made have worked as expected but they got data from an api response. Is it related maybe to the async/await aspect of dealing with API responses compared with just appending/pushing to the data array?

<template>
 <Widget  :style="style" @load="showNotes()">
<h3>Notes</h3>
<p v-for="item in data" :key="item.id">{{ item.note }}</p>

<button @click="addNote()">Add</button>
</Widget>
</template>

<script>
import Widget from "./Widget.vue";

export default {
  name: "Notes",
  props: {
    widgetWidth: Number,
  },
  computed: {
    style() {
      return "max-width: "   this.widgetWidth   "px";
    },
  },
  data() {
    return {
      notes: undefined,
    };
  },

  methods: {
    addNote() {
      var x;
      if (!this.data) {
        this.data = [];
        x = 0;
      } else {
        x = this.data.length;
        console.log(x);
      }
      this.data.push({ id: x, note: "another" });
      console.log(this.data);
    },
    showNotes() {
      this.data = [{ id: 0, note: "init" }];
    },
  },
  beforeMount() {
    this.showNotes();
  },
  components: { Widget },
};
</script>

<style scoped>
.notes {
  min-width: 100px;
  word-wrap: break-word;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: space-between;
}
.notes > * {
  flex-grow: 1;
}
</style>

CodePudding user response：

That's happening because you modify the data property and there is no data property, it's notes property, Also, you don't need the @load event, or beforeMount event to initialize the notes property.

This working example

CodePudding user response：

Create a computed property called notes that returns the notes property in your data object. In your v-for use item in notes. When you click the button the notes in your data object gets updated. The computed property detects the change and updates the ui
