Vue 2.1 calling method in beforeCreate hook is not working
It's because methods hasn't been initialized yet. The easiest way around this it to use the created hook instead:
created : function() { this.fetchUsers(); }, methods: { fetchUsers: function() { var self = this; fetch('/assets/data/radfaces.json') .then(function(response) { return response.json() .then( function(data) { self.users = data; } ); }) .catch(function(error) { console.log(error); }); } }
