I was trying to generate a custom even as described in the Dashboard 2 Info;
<v-btn @click="$socket.emit('ui-event', 'custom-event-name', msg)">Send Custom Event</v-btn>
I created a ui-template with the following code
<template>
<div class = "gapButton">
<v-btn @click="$socket.emit('ui-event', '$myEvent', {topic: 'event'})">Event</v-btn>
<v-btn @click="sendData()">Event Data</v-btn>
<v-btn @click="sendEvent()">Send Event</v-btn>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
// define variables available component-wide
// (in <template> and component functions)
return {
eventData: {topic: '$myEvent', payload: {id: this.id}}
}
},
methods: {
sendData: function () {
this.send( this.eventData )
},
sendEvent: function() {
this.$socket.emit( 'ui-event', '$myEvent', {topic: 'event'} )
}
},
}
</script>
<style>
.gapButton {
display: flex;
gap: 0.2rem;
}
</style>
and then connected up an event node and a debug node. My thought was that I should get an output when my event was emitted, but not so. I have either messed up the generator, or I have got the wrong end of the stick and this is not how it is supposed to work.
Hopefully someone can put me straight
