Sometimes, we want to share a method between components in Vue.js.

In this article, we’ll look at how to share a method between components in Vue.js.

How to share a method between components in Vue.js?

To share a method between components in Vue.js, we can use mixins.

For instance, we write

mixins/cartMixin.js

export default {
  methods: {
    addToCart() {
      //...
    },
  },
};

to create the cartMixin.js module that exports an object with the addToCart method inside.

Then we use the mixin in our component by writing

<script>
import cartMixin from "./mixins/cartMixin.js";
//...

export default {
  //...
  mixins: [cartMixin],
  //...
};
</script>

We set mixins to an array with the cartMixin inside to incorporate the addToCart method from the mixin into our component.
