How can i emit events from a plugin.

[Mardugh]

I am essentially trying to write a plugin with async-functionality i will be needing throughout a lot of my vue components.
And so far it mostly works, but the one thing i cannot seem to figure out is how to emit events from said plugin and act upon these events in my vue components.

What i have so far essentially boils down to the following:

import axios from 'axios'

function update () {
    axios.get(`...magic-url...`)
        .then(response => {
            this.$emit('update')
        })
        .catch(e => {
            console.log(e)
        })
}

var api = {
    update,
}

export default ({ Vue }) => {
    Vue.prototype.$foobar = api
}

The basic problem is the this.$emit('update') inside the axios-call. I assume this is probably because my ‘API’ is not actually aware of anything Vue related but i can’t seem to figure how to go about making this work.

I would appreciate any pointers, and perhaps an example of how to act upon these events in vue-components once the $emit issue is actually taken care off.
