Handling events of dynamically created buttons in Vue.js v-for loop
I have a v-for loop where a button is created for each iteration. I'm trying to make a toggle handler for when a button click will toggle the button color. But since the buttons are dynamically created, all their colors change ....
<div class="pets" v-for="pet in pets" :key="pet.id">
<button class="favorite" v-on:click="toggle">
<i v-bind:class="[{ 'red' : favorited }, 'material-icons']">favorite</i>
</button>
</div>
The array of pets is filled with an http call. My script looks like this:
<script>
export default {
name: 'home',
data() {
return {
pets: [],
favorited: false
}
},
methods: {
toggle: function() {
this.favorited = !this.favorited;
}
},
}
The Style tag just changes color
<style scoped>
.red {
color: red;
}
Essentially I'm trying to create a pet button where you can toggle the way the array pets use the object. I know why my method is activating all my buttons. Because favorited is not unique to the button and comes from data. So when favorited = true, the "red" class is bound to all of my buttons. My question is, how do I bind the "red" class to the button I click on? I'm relatively new to Vue and this is driving me crazy! Someone please tell me how I can fix this.

Add a favorite property to your favorite items in your pet array. Then use this property.
<div class="pets" v-for="pet in pets" :key="pet.id">
<button class="favorite" v-on:click="pet.favorited = !pet.favorited">
<i v-bind:class="[{ 'red' : pet.favorited }, 'material-icons']">favorite</i>
</button>
</div>
If you don't want to change the pet object, here's an alternate path .
