Events

Vue-form-wizard emits certain events when certain actions happen inside the component. The events can be noticed in some of the demos and especially in the async validation demo

• on-complete Called when the finish button is clicked and the before-change for the last step (if present) was executed. No params are sent together with this event. this.$emit('on-complete')
• on-loading Called whenever an async before-change is executed. This event is emitted before executing before-change and after finishing execution of before-change method. on-loading is emitted together with a Boolean value. this.$emit('on-loading', value)
• on-validate Called whenever the execution of a before-change method is completed. The event sends along a Boolean which represents the validation result as well as an int with te tab index. this.$emit('on-validate', validationResult, this.activeTabIndex)
• on-error Called when before-change is a promised and is rejected with a message. The message is passed along this.$emit('on-error', error) See async validation fiddle

Slots

• Default - Used for tab-contents
• title - Upper title section including sub-title
• prev - Previous button content (no need to worry about handling the button functionality)
• next - Next button content
• finish - Finish button content
