Vue.js - Restore input value if model rejects changes

I have a text input that allow user to type a number with maximum of 3 digits after decimal point:

<v-text-field type="text" :value="num" @change="changeNum($event)" />
<p>{{ num }}</p>

...

export default {
  data: () => ({
    num: 0
  }),
  methods: {
    changeNum(e) {
      let v = parseFloat(e);
      if (!isNaN(v)) {
        this.num = parseFloat(v.toFixed(3));
      }
    }
  }
};

If I type '123.456', then num = 123.456. If I append text '789', then input will contain 123.456789 but num = 123.456. So, user may think that the changes have been applied, but it is not...

How can I force the input to update, if changeNum fails?

You could achieve your use case by using only v-model.lazy to change data after leaving the textfield, and watch property which save the old and new value that allows us to control the typed value after focusing somewhere else.

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  data: () => ({
    num: 0
  }),

  watch: {
    num(newv, oldv) {
      let v = parseFloat(newv);
      if (!isNaN(v)) {
        this.num = parseFloat(v.toFixed(3));
      } else {
        this.num = oldv;
      }

    }
  }
})
#app {
  padding: 20px;
}

  <div id="app">

    <input type="text" v-model.lazy="num" />
    <p>out: {{ num }}</p>

  </div>

I think that $forceUpdate should solve your issue ..

methods: {
    changeNum(e) {
      let v = parseFloat(e);
      if (!isNaN(v)) {
        this.num = parseFloat(v.toFixed(3));
        this.$forceUpdate();
      }
    }
}

@change won't fire until you change focus to something else. To ensure you evaluate the input as you type, use @input instead. It will fire with every keystroke.

Also, keep track of the last value so you can reset:

<v-text-field type="text" :value="num" @input="changeNum($event)" />
<p>{{ num }}</p>

...

export default {
  data: () => ({
    num: 0,
    lastNum: 0
  }),
  methods: {
    changeNum(e) {
      let v = parseFloat(e);
      if (!isNaN(v)) {
        this.num = parseFloat(v.toFixed(3));
        this.lastNum = this.num;
      }
      else {
        this.num = this.lastNum;
      }
    }
  }
};
