VUE JS passing object to children after mounted

I have three vue components. One is the page listing, it includes a filter and a list. When the page listing component is rendering, it needs to parse some JSON and passing that object into the filter component. Where I see that there is a problem is that the mounted script is running after the filter component has been rendered, therefore, no object has been passed inside of the filter to render, how do i bypass that ? I have checked the vue cycle but I cannot for the life of me figure out what the problem is.

On the filter component, when I output {{test}} it shows the right text ‘yayaya’ because its a string, and it’s not passing an object that needs to be manipulated. Why is it that when I output {{dataTagGroups}} on the filter component it returns nothing, it’s empty.

LISTING PAGE COMPONENT

   <template>
<div>
    <section class="mega-filter js-mega-filter">

        <mega-filter
            :dataEndpoint="dataEndpoint"

            :dataSortOptions='dataSortOptions'
            test="yayaya"
            v-cloak
        >
            <!-- label for sort filter -->

            <template slot="sortLabelMobile">Sort by</template>

Answer

You could initially set your dataTagGroups and dataSortOptions in the data as null and only display the filter if those aren’t null anymore.

 data() {
   return {
    dataEndpoint: '',
    dataTagGroups: null,
    dataSortOptions: null,
    dataNumItems: '',
    dataPageSize: ''
 },

in your template you can then use v-if to only render the filter if those conditions are met.

<section class="mega-filter js-mega-filter">
  <mega-filter
    v-if="dataEndpoint && dataTagGroups"
    :dataEndpoint="dataEndpoint"
    :dataTagGroups='dataTagGroups'
    data-tag-name=""
    :dataSortOptions='dataSortOptions'
    data-sort-name=""
    data-sort-direction-name=""
    data-sort-direction-value=""
    data-facet-options=""
    data-num-items="10"
    data-page-size="5"
    data-language=""
    test="yayaya"
    v-cloak
  >
    <!-- label for sort filter -->
    <template slot="sortLabel">Sort</template>
    <template slot="sortLabelMobile">Sort by</template>
  </mega-filter>
  <div v-else>
    Data not ready yet... Loading...
  </div>
</section>
