Vue.js 3 - Handling Interdependent Reactive Properties with Watchers
I'm trying to debug This might be a silly question, but This might be a silly question, but I'm working with an scenario with interdependent reactive properties in my Vue.js 3 application. I have two properties `startDate` and `endDate`, and I want to ensure that whenever `startDate` changes, `endDate` is updated accordingly if it falls before `startDate`. I'm using the Composition API and set up watchers for both properties, but I'm working with an unexpected behavior where the `endDate` does not update as anticipated. Hereβs the relevant code snippet: ```javascript import { ref, watch } from 'vue'; export default { setup() { const startDate = ref(''); const endDate = ref(''); watch(startDate, (newStartDate) => { if (endDate.value < newStartDate) { endDate.value = newStartDate; } }); watch(endDate, (newEndDate) => { if (newEndDate < startDate.value) { console.warn('End date want to be before start date.'); } }); return { startDate, endDate }; } }; ``` In my component, I bind these properties to two date input fields. When I change the `startDate`, the `endDate` should update to match it if it's less than `startDate`. However, the console warning appears but the `endDate` does not change as expected. I've also tried using `nextTick` to ensure the DOM updates occur as expected, but that didn't solve the question either. Am I missing something in how I handle the reactivity, or is there a better approach to manage these interdependent reactive properties? Any ideas what could be causing this? The project is a web app built with Javascript. The project is a desktop app built with Javascript. Is there a simpler solution I'm overlooking? I'm working with Javascript in a Docker container on Windows 11.
