[Vuejs]-How to append array into data from ipcRenderer

✅

You can use the beforeCreate hook on the Vuecomponent in order to hydrate the data property:

export default {
  data: function() {
    return {
      files: []
    };
  },
  beforeCreate() {
    ipcRenderer.on("channel1", (e, files) => {
      this.files = files
    });
  },
  methods: {
    clicked: function() {
      ipcRenderer.send("channel1", "open dialog to getFiles from user");
    }
  }
};

Note that, of course, you cannot interact directly with the files array until you know it’s been hydrated, so a computed getter here may be of some use to you, or just use files.length.
