Passing data between components using EventBus

Question

This might be a newbie question so please excuse.

I am trying to pass data between components using EventBus but i am unable to do so. If I declare the EventBus as export default EventBus =new Vue();, i get a Cannot find module '../ui/EventBus.js' error If however I declare the EventBus as export const EventBus =new Vue();, i get a Error: render function or template not defined in component: MainNavBar' error

What am I missing?

ui\EventBus.js

import Vue from 'vue';
export default EventBus =new Vue();

ui\Login.vue

<script>
import {EventBus} from './EventBus.js';
export default 
{  
  methods: 
  { 
    LoginUserForDomain() 
    {
      EventBus.$emit('CurrentUserId', result.userId);
    }
  }
}
</script>

ui\components\MainNavBar.vue

<script>
import {EventBus} from '../ui/EventBus.js';
export default 
{  
  data() {
    return {
      currentUserId:null,
    };
  },
  mounted() 
  {
    EventBus.$on('CurrentUserId', (payload) =>
    {
      this.currentUserId = payload;
    });
  }
}
</script>

Error Stack when EventBus is exported as a default:

Answer 1

Have you considered:

import EventBus from './EventBus.js';

Since you are exporting as default export.
