<script> export default { watch: { /* ✓ GOOD */ a: function (val, oldVal) { console.log('new: %s, old: %s', val, oldVal) }, b: 'someMethod', c: { handler: function (val, oldVal) { /* ... */ }, deep: true }, d: { handler: 'someMethod', immediate: true }, e: [ 'handle1', function handle2 (val, oldVal) { /* ... */ }, { handler: function handle3 (val, oldVal) { /* ... */ }, /* ... */ } ], 'e.f': function (val, oldVal) { /* ... */ }, /* ✗ BAD */ foo: (val, oldVal) => { console.log('new: %s, old: %s', val, oldVal) } } } </script>
