To change a Vue prototype variable in all components, we can use Vue’s mixin functionality.
Mixins allow us to inject functionality into multiple components.
To do this we:
- Define a mixin that modifies the Vue prototype.
- Import and use this mixin in your main Vue instance or in any components where we want to apply the changes.
Here’s an example:
// mixin.js
export default {
created() {
// Modify the Vue prototype variable
this.$prototypeVariable = 'new value';
}
};
// main.js or our main Vue file
import Vue from 'vue';
import App from './App.vue';
import mixin from './mixin';
Vue.mixin(mixin);
new Vue({
render: h => h(App)
}).$mount('#app');
Now, $prototypeVariable
will be available in all components and will have the value ‘new value’. We can access it in any component like this:
// YourComponent.vue
export default {
created() {
console.log(this.$prototypeVariable); // Output: 'new value'
}
};
Keep in mind that modifying the Vue prototype should be done cautiously, as it affects the global behavior of Vue instances.
Make sure we have a good reason to modify the prototype, and ensure that it doesn’t conflict with any existing or future functionality.
