Emitting events
To emit an event on the component, you can call the emit
method anywhere in your component:
// a component that emits an event (other properties omitted for brevity)
{
emitChangeEvent () {
this.emit('change', { some: 'data' })
}
}
// a component that listens for an event
{
handleEvent (e) {
console.log(e.detail) // prints { some: 'data' }
},
render () {
return html`<example-component onchange=${this.methods.handleEvent}></example-component>`
}
}
The following arguments can be used to emit an event:
Property | Required | Description |
---|---|---|
eventName | yes | This must be a string with the name of the event |
data | Optional data to pass along with the event. Any data passed is available on the Event.detail property of the event |
