Attaching Data Attributes to a Component Instance

[willclark]

In our Rails app, we utilize a number of Vue components for various controls. In some of those components we slot in a Rails generated form. When we do so, the dynamic data attributes are attached to the root Vue instance.

Is it possible to have the attributes attached to the Vue component instance instead?

It would be nice to not have to reach up to the root to get the data. More importantly, we would like to avoid naming collisions if a given view has initialized several instances of the same component.

The answer is no.

Currently, this plugin works as a global mix-in so that it affects all Vue instances.

I would like to think about this.

Thank you for your valuable suggestions.
