Is it possible to access this.$refs from another component?

Question

Vue.js

The Isotope plugin uses this
this.$refs.cpt.filter(key)
. But I need to move the navigation to a separate component. How to execute this code from it if the plugin is in another component?

Answer 1

Alternatively, make a method in the component that calls this.$refs.cpt.filter(key) and make a call from it:

methods: {
  someMethod() {
   // ...
   this.$refs.cpt.filter(key)
  }
}

Next, call this method from another component:
this.$refs.someComponent.someMethod()
