The Composition API Masterclass is coming soon!

When building reusable Vue components, you might want the parent to handle specific logic while the child simply triggers it. That’s where emitting custom events comes in handy. In this lesson, you’ll see how to emit a custom event from a child component to the parent, allowing for more flexibility and cleaner code.

You’ll learn to set up event listeners, emit events with Vue's $emit method, and pass data (like a link’s title) to the parent. We’ll also cover how to define your event types properly to prevent errors and enhance code reliability—especially useful in larger applications!
