initial-model not reacting to new data

[moyalmic]

Version is v5.2.2

I'm trying to create a reactive array that would cause the tree view to update every time the data changes but i'm having trouble getting the component to refresh. I've created a computed value called files that maps strings to nodes (giving it a unique id) and when I create a list object using v-for, the list updates properly, but I can't get the tree-view component to update itself with the new data.

Could somebody please tell me what i'm doing wrong? Does initial-model not update after being set once? Please help me out! Many thanks!

Hey @moyalmic , I've been trying to set up a StackBlitz for this but apparently the internet is even slower than I thought here and pages keep timing out on me. I never thought I would miss the internet this much... :)

The initial computed value is only applied once in this case because the actual computed value that is initially set changes. If it was a ref instead of a computed and you used a watch to update the ref's value then the tree would see those updates (because that ref object isn't changing, just it's value). I'm hoping that makes sense; this is where the actual example would have been helpful.

It does make sense, I've tried rewriting it using a ref and a watch and again, it seems to be updating correctly when I debug it and log the resulting list to the console, but the tree itself isn't changing reactively :(

Also the first comment under this Stack Overflow post says it's discouraged to use watch in favor of computed properties (especially on arrays which I am doing here)...
