Vue method changing data used as v-if












0















So what I want to achieve is use a v-if calling a method and inside the method change a property inside data, once this is done then return true so the element is displayed.



Example:






export default {
data() {
return {
lastMonths: [
{
month: '11',
monthNumber: moment().format('MM'),
printed: false
},
{
month: '10',
monthNumber: moment().subtract(1, 'months').format('MM'),
printed: false
},
{
month: '9',
monthNumber: moment().subtract(2, 'months').format('MM'),
printed: false
}
]
}
},
methods: {
displayOptgroup(index, month) {
if (!this.lastMonths[index].printed && (this.lastMonths[index].monthNumber == month)) {
this.lastMonths[index].printed = true;
return true;
}

return false;
},
}
}

<div>
<span class="optgroup" v-if="displayOptgroup(0, option.month)">{{ lastMonths[0].month }}</span>
</div>





But nothing appears, but as soon as I comment the line where I set printed = true, then it works!



I can't understand why this is happening. I tried with computed properties itself, computed properties calling method and mutating there, but with the same result.



Thanks.
