Accessing $refs Array Inside A Vue Js Instance Watch Object

I am building a Vue JS SPA, and have a Vuetify data-table inside of the v-app. I am trying to set a variable inside the watch object for the filteredItems computed property inside

Solution 1:

The best way is to add watcher on the mounted. Try the following code.

mounted(){
       this.$watch(
        () => {
            returnthis.$refs.prospectsTable.filteredItems
        },
      (val) => {
        console.log(val)
        alert('App $watch $refs.counter.i: ' + val)
      }
    )
  }

Solution 2:

It might be sat in $root because of where the component it is declared.

If $refs.prospectsTable is not working then try $root.$refs.prospectsTable.

Perhaps also this should be keys in a watcher as a string as so:

watch: {

   '$refs.prospectsTable.filteredItems': function (value) {
       console.log(value);
   }


}
