Trigger a Vue components method by property
Is it possible to trigger a Vue components method by handling the methods name to one of it's properties?
// main.vue
<navigation :button-left="goback()"></navigation>
// navigation.component.vue
...
props: ["buttonLeft"],
...
methods: {
goback() {
console.log('Run this.');
},
},
...
I tried it like this but it gives me an error:
[Vue warn]: Property or method "goback" is not defined on the instance but referenced during render. Make sure that this property is reactive, either in the data option, or for class-based components, by initializing the property. See: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/reactivity.html#Declaring-Reactive-Properties.

The intention is to handle routing with the navigation. The buttons of the navigation differ from page to page. For some buttons it's necessary to handle a fixed routing path but for others it's just intended to go one step back in the routing history which should be done by a simple method.

did you try to emit events from child component to the parent component and do what you want in the parent?

Yes, this is definitely possible.
The easiest way would be to pass a plain string, eg
<navigation button-left="goback" />
Note there's no v-bind.
Then in your component, you can use the prop value. Something like...
export default {
template: `<button @click="runButtonLeft">Go</button>`,
props: ['buttonLeft'],
methods: {
runButtonLeft () {
if (typeof this[this.buttonLeft] === 'function') {
this[this.buttonLeft]()
} else {
console.error('Invalid method name:', this.buttonLeft)
}
},
goback () {
console.log('Run this.')
}
}
}
You didn't specify what should be used to trigger the method execution so I've gone with a click event.

Yes this would work, but I'm struggling to think of a use case for this. If you want different functionality of an event (button left in this case) every time you implement the component, I would probably emit that he event happened, and let the parent component decide what needs to happen. Like<navigation @button-left="call-some-method-on-parent-component" />
