Vue.js computed property not updating

Question

I\'m using a Vue.js computed property but am running into an issue: The computed method IS being called at the correct times, but the value returned by the computed

Answer 1

I have a workaround for this kind of situations I don't know if you like it. I place an integer property under data() (let's call it trigger) and every time the object that I used in computed property changes, it gets incremented by 1. So, this way, computed property updates every time the object changes.

Example:

export default {
data() {
  return {
    trigger: 0, // this will increment by 1 every time obj changes
    obj: { x: 1 }, // the object used in computed property
  };
},
computed: {
  objComputed() {
    // do anything with this.trigger. I'll log it to the console, just to be using it
    console.log(this.trigger);

    // thanks to this.trigger being used above, this line will work
    return this.obj.y;
  },
},
methods: {
  updateObj() {
    this.trigger += 1;
    this.obj.y = true;
  },
},
};
