Refs

Template Ref

If it is an Html Element or a regular Vue component (without using an ioc container), you can use Template Ref to reference the component instance

1. Html Element

Take input element as an example:

import { onControllerMounted } from 'zova';

export class ControllerPageComponent {
  inputRef: HTMLInputElement | null;

  protected async __init__() {
    onControllerMounted(() => {
      this.inputRef?.focus();
    });
  }
}

• Declare variable inputRef
• Listen to onControllerMounted event and call focus method

export class RenderComponent {
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <input
          ref={ref => {
            this.inputRef = ref as any;
          }}
        />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

• Receive ref through callback function Parameter, assigned to inputRef

2. Vue component (without using ioc container)

Take quasar's QBtn component as an example:

export class ControllerPageComponent {
  btnRef: InstanceType<typeof QBtn> | null;

  protected async __init__() {
    onControllerMounted(() => {
      this.btnRef?.click();
    });
  }
}

• Declare variable btnRef
• Listen to onControllerMounted event and call click method

export class RenderComponent {
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <input
          ref={ref => {
            this.btnRef = ref as any;
          }}
        />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

• Receive ref through callback function Parameter, assigned to btnRef

Controller Ref

For Vue components that use the ioc container, you cannot use Template Ref, but directly reference the controller bean instance corresponding to the Vue component

1. Declare variable

First declare a variable in controller.ts of the parent component:

import { ControllerCard } from '../../.metadata/index.js';

export class ControllerPageComponent {
  cardRef: ControllerCard;
}

2. controllerRef

Then set the controllerRef prop of the child component to obtain the ref value of the controller bean instance:

import Card from '../../component/card/index.vue';

export class RenderComponent {
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <Card
          controllerRef={ref => {
            this.cardRef = ref;
          }}
        ></Card>
      </div>
    );
  }
}
