Pass data from event in VueJS

So, I'm developing a Cordova Android app with VueJS and I use background geolocation plugin

It emits global event called 'location' which my app listens in main.js

function onDeviceReady () {
  BackgroundGeolocation.on('location', (location) => {})
}

document.addEventListener('deviceready', onDeviceReady, false)

How can I pass location data to variable in component every time event is fired?

Try to add event listener in mounted method in your component and point it's handler to component method, like this:

export default {
    data() {
        return {
            location: null,
        }
    },
    mounted() {
        document.addEventListener('deviceready', this.onDeviceReady, false)
    },
    beforeDestroy() {
        // remember to remove event listener
        document.removeEventListener('deviceready', this.onDeviceReady)
    },
    methods: {
        onDeviceReady() {
            BackgroundGeolocation.on('location', this.handleLocation)
        },
        handleLocation(location) {
            // you've got location!
            this.location = location
        }
    }
})
