Vue JS: Accessing data from different component

I have a Vue component that has a 'vue-webcam' component inside, my problem is how can I access the "stream" inside of it data and set it to stop using my method out side of that 'vue-webcam' component. Is there anyway of or I have to make a state

<script>
export default{
components:{
'vue-webcam':{
render:function(h){
return h('video',{
...
})
}
},
props:{
...
},
data:{
return{
video: '',
stream: '', // I need to get this using my btn_stop
hasUserMedia: ''
}
}
},
data:()=>({
///...
}),
methods:{
btn_stop(){
let tracks = this.stream.getTracks()[0] // How do I access the "stream" data above on my vue-webcam component
tracks.stop()
}
}
}
</script>

Component methods are available publicly. You can set a ref property for your component and call methods on it. For example, add a stop method to vue-webcam...

ref

stop

vue-webcam

methods: {
stop () {
this.stream.getTracks()[0].stop()
this.$emit('stopped') // for extra points
}
}


then in your parent component's template

<vue-webcam ref="webcam" @stopped="someOptionalEventHandler" .../>


and in the btn_stop method...

btn_stop

methods: {
btn_stop () {
this.$refs.webcam.stop()
}
}


While you're here, Vue component data must always be a function and preferably not an arrow function (especially if you need to refer to component instance properties). So both your data properties above should be

data

data

data () {
return {
// data properties
}
}


or

data: function() {
return {
// data properties
}
}


I have not worked with VueJs, but if it uses objects itself in background, this trick may help you:

VueJs

export default{
components:{
'vue-webcam':{
render:function(h){
return h('video',{
...
})
}
},
props:{
...
},
data:{
return (function(d){return d;})(window.$data={
video: '',
stream: '', // I need to get this using my btn_stop
hasUserMedia: ''
})
}
},
data:()=>({
///...
}),
methods:{
btn_stop(){
let tracks = window.$data.stream.getTracks()[0] // How do I access the "stream" data above on my vue-webcam component
tracks.stop()
}
}


}

You can add the components to window object with this trick for access to per member of it.

components

window
