Calling <q-tree> component methods

[pavarine]

Let’s say I have a tree component:

<template>
<div>
<q-tree
:nodes=“tree_data”
:selected.sync=“tree_selected_node”
node-key=“uuid”
/>
</div>
</template>

How can I call a method from the tree component (let’s say the getNodeByKey(key) method) from inside an arbitrary method that is in <script> methods: {…} </script> ? In other words, how can I reference the q-tree element from outside it?

Thanks

Give the tree component a ref
<q-tree
ref=“tree”
:nodes = “companySetup”
:selected.sync=“selected”
…

Then use it like this:
methods: {

nodeExists(key) {
    return this.$refs.tree.getNodeByKey(key)
},
getSelectedNode() {
    return this.$refs.tree.getNodeByKey(this.selected)
},
