So as posted in one of the comments, Vuex works perfectly for this.
I also ended up creating a custom “IFrame” component that renders whatever you have inside its slot in an iframe.
Here is my Vuex store:
import Vue from 'vue'
import Vuex from 'vuex'
Vue.use(Vuex)
export const store = new Vuex.Store({
state: {
form: {
name: null,
email: null,
message: null
},
senderEmail: null,
term: null,
styles: null
},
mutations: {
updateForm(state, form) {
state.form = form
},
updateEmail(state, email) {
state.senderEmail = email
},
updateTerm(state, term) {
state.term = term
},
stylesChange(state, styles) {
state.styles = styles
}
}
})
my IFrame component:
import Vue from 'vue'
import { store } from '../../store'
export default {
name: 'IFrame',
data() {
return {
iApp: null,
}
},
computed: {
styles() {
return this.$store.state.styles
}
},
render(h) {
return h('iframe', {
on: {
load: this.renderChildren
}
})
},
watch: {
styles(val) {
const head = this.$el.contentDocument.head
$(head).html(val)
}
},
beforeUpdate() {
this.iApp.children = Object.freeze(this.$slots.default)
},
methods: {
renderChildren() {
const children = this.$slots.default
const body = this.$el.contentDocument.body
const el = document.createElement('div') // we will mount or nested app to this element
body.appendChild(el)
const iApp = new Vue({
name: 'iApp',
store,
data() {
return {
children: Object.freeze(children)
}
},
render(h) {
return h('div', this.children)
}
})
iApp.$mount(el)
this.iApp = iApp
}
}
}
finally here is how data is passed to the PreviewComponent from the ConfirmationComponent:
export default {
name: 'ConfirmationComponent',
mounted() {
this.$store.commit('updateEmail', this.senderEmail)
this.$store.commit('updateTerm', this.term)
},
watch: {
'form.name'(val) {
this.updateIframe()
},
'form.email'(val) {
this.updateIframe()
}
},
methods: {
updateIframe() {
this.$store.commit('updateForm', this.form)
}
}
}
then lastly the actual PreviewComponent:
import styles from '../../../templates/styles'
export default {
name: 'PreviewComponent',
mounted() {
this.$store.commit('stylesChange', styles)
},
computed: {
redemption_url() {
return `${window.config.stitcher_website}/gift?code=`
},
custom_message() {
if (this.form.message) {
let div = document.createElement('div')
div.innerHTML = this.form.message
let text = div.textContent || div.innerText || ''
return text.replace(/(?:\r\n|\r|\n)/g, '<br>')
}
return null
},
form() {
return this.$store.state.form
},
term() {
return this.$store.state.term
},
senderEmail() {
return this.$store.state.senderEmail
}
}
}
hopefully this will help somebody.
