how to emit custom events from a child component to its parent component in Vue?

 In Vue.js, you can emit custom events from a child component to its parent component using the $emit method. Here are the steps to emit custom events in Vue:

1. Define a custom event in the child component: In the child component, define a custom event using the Vue.component method, like this:

php
Vue.component('child-component', {
  template: '<button @click="onClick">Click me</button>',
  methods: {
    onClick: function() {
      this.$emit('custom-event', 'Custom event message');
    }
  }
});

In this example, the child component has a button that, when clicked, emits a custom event named 'custom-event' with a message payload of 'Custom event message'.

2. Listen for the custom event in the parent component: In the parent component, listen for the custom event using the v-on directive, like this:

vbnet
<child-component v-on:custom-event="handleCustomEvent"></child-component>

In this example, the parent component has a child component that emits a custom event named 'custom-event'. The parent component listens for this event using the v-on directive and calls the handleCustomEvent method when the event is emitted.

3. Define a method to handle the custom event in the parent component: In the parent component, define a method to handle the custom event, like this:

javascript
methods: {
  handleCustomEvent: function(message) {
    console.log('Custom event received with message:', message);
  }
}

In this example, the handleCustomEvent method simply logs the message payload of the custom event to the console.

With these steps, you can emit custom events from a child component to its parent component in Vue.js. Note that you can also pass additional arguments to the $emit method if needed.
