vue2js - how to propagate selected index with chosen select value in a direcitve

Question

Please look at the code below. The first select box is created with chosen js. When changed it should propagate its changed value to the model to which its bound (cityid). The second normal select box is working fine and its value is propagated.

Vue.directive('chosen', {
  bind: function (el, binding, vnode, oldVnode) {

    Vue.nextTick(function() {

      $(el).chosen({
        width:'100%'
      }).change(function(){

        alert($(el).val());
        vnode.context.$emit('input', $(el).val());
        
      });
    });

  },
  update: function(el, binding, vnode, oldVnode) {

  }
});


new Vue({
  el : '#app',
  data:{
    cityid : 3,
    cities : [
      {id:1, value:'London'},
      {id:2, value:'Newyork'},
      {id:3, value:'Delhi'}
    ]
  }
})

    </select>
    <hr>
    <select  v-model="cityid">
      <option v-for="option in cities" :value="option.id" >{{option.value}}</option>
    </select>
    
  </div>

When you are emitting in your directive, you are emitting the event from the root node (the context). You need to emit the event from the node itself. You don't have access to the $emit event, but you can examine the handlers that have been attached to the node. In this case, v-model is applying a change handler. As such, if you write your directive like this, your code should work.

Vue.directive('chosen', {
  bind: function (el, binding, vnode, oldVnode) {
    Vue.nextTick(function() {
      $(el).chosen({
        width:'100%'
      }).change(function(e){
        vnode.data.on.change(e, $(el).val())
      });
    });
  }
});

Here is an example.
