Is there way to inherit templates with mixins in VueJS
After years, I can imagine a elegant solution, and maybe it could be more elegant using classes, typescript or an annotation that create the component super in the mixin, but for now, the problem is partial solved.
GreetingMixin = { data() { return { greeting: 'Hello', }; }, provide() { return {child: this}}, components: { super: { inject: ['child'], template: '<div class="blue">{{ child.greeting }} <strong><slot /></strong></div>', } },}// This should be <div class="blue">Hello <strong>World!</strong></div>Vue.component('welcomeWorld', { mixins: [GreetingMixin], template: '<super>World!</super>',});// This should be <div class="blue">Hi <strong><i>ali</i></strong></div>Vue.component('welcomeName', { mixins: [GreetingMixin], props: ["name"], created() { this.greeting = "Hi" }, template: '<super><i>{{ name }}</i></super>',});// This should be <h1><div class="blue">Hello <strong>World</strong></div></h1>Vue.component('welcomeH1', { mixins: [GreetingMixin], props: ["name"], template: '<h1><super>{{ name }}</super></h1>',});var vm = new Vue({ el: '#app'});.blue {color: blue}<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.17/vue.js"></script><div id="app"> <welcome-world></welcome-world> <welcome-name name="Ali"></welcome-name> <welcome-h1 name="Ali"></welcome-h1></div>
You can't "inherit" mixin templates like in your example, if it were possible there would have to be a standardized way of merging the templates.
Since it seems all you really want to do is inherit the template, why not use component composition with slots?
Vue.component('not-found', { template: '#not-found', methods: { doSomethingSpecial() { alert('Hi there'); }, },});new Vue({ el: '#app', data() { return { notFoundVisible: false, }; },});.not-found { background-color: white; text-align: center; font-size: 30px; position: fixed; left: 0; top: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0;}<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/vue/1.0.16/vue.js"></script><template id="not-found"> <div class="not-found"> <h1>404 Not Found</h1> <slot></slot> </div></template><div id="app"> <not-found v-show="notFoundVisible" @click="notFoundVisible = false" v-ref:not-found>The resource was not found</not-found> <button @click="notFoundVisible = true">Click Me</button> <button @click="$refs.notFound.doSomethingSpecial()">Do Something Special</button></div>Is there any particular reason why you need to mixin these components instead of composing them together?
