Prevent event bubbling in Vue
vue.jsClickEvent BubblingEvent Propagationvue.js Problem Overview
<div id="largeArea" v-on:click="do_X">
<button>Button</button>
</div>
So I have this issue in Vue where I don't want "do_X" to trigger when I click on the button, although its a part of the largeArea.
vue.js Solutions
Solution 1 - vue.js
I found that using the 'stop' event modifier on the child element worked for me. eg
<div id="app">
<div id="largeArea" @click="do_X">
<button @click.stop="do_Y">Button</button>
</div>
</div>
Solution 2 - vue.js
From the documentation, use the self event modifier to only capture events originating on the element itself.
<div id="largeArea" v-on:click.self="do_X">
new Vue({
el: '#app',
methods: {
do_X () {
console.log(Date.now(), 'do_X')
}
}
})
#largeArea {
padding: 20px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/vue.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<div id="largeArea" @click.self="do_X">
<button>Button</button>
</div>
</div>
Solution 3 - vue.js
Prevent bubbling for all clicks inside a container <div>
<div @click.stop="" class="action">
<button @click="someClickAction1()">Action 1</button>
<button @click="someClickAction2()">Action 2</button>
<div>
Prevent bubbling on an existing click action
<button @click.stop="someClickAction()">Single Action</button>
Solution 4 - vue.js
Neither of the provided answers. In my situation it's wrapped in a <router-link> not a <div>.
I called e.preventDefault() on the child element and it worked
<router-link>
<div @click="do_X"></div>
</router-link>
new Vue({
el: '#app',
methods: {
do_X (e) {
e.preventDefault();
console.log(Date.now(), 'do_X')
}
}
})
Solution 5 - vue.js
I was creating a navigation bar and had similar requirements. I want the popup menu to be closed when clicked anywhere accept the menu or its children.
This can be done by using event modifiers. Fore reference see this docs
Specifically, we can use stop event modifier.
<div id="largeArea" v-on:click="do_X()">
<button @click.stop="">Button</button>
</div>
.stop will stop the event propagation.
In my case better solution was to use e.target != this.$el
mounted() {
window.addEventListener('click', (e)=>{
if(e.target !== this.$el)
this.showChild = false;
})
}
