Call to updateNeedle not working

[DSC-CSTS]

Hi,

I want to build a component but having trouble to dynamically update the needle value. Gauge-chart states this needs to be done via the updateNeedle function with the example:

// Drawing and updating the chart
GaugeChart
  .gaugeChart(element, 300, gaugeOptions)
  .updateNeedle(50)

Here is my code. It all happens in the watch->gaugeValue. I tried all the lines in there but with no success.
It is done like this because eventually the needle value will come from a $store. For the test a 4 second interval is implemented to change the needle value by 10 every time.
Is there someone who can point me in the right direction?

Regards,
Dirk

I am able to make this work using this. But it remove the whole point of using this library. Because the library is not exposing the updateNeedles to parent. I am end up referencing GaugeChart object myself

...
// import gaugechart object on imports statement
let GaugeChart = require('vue-gauge/assets/bundle.js')
...
mounted() {
    // Get element
    let element = document.querySelector('#gauge-1')

    // get svg tags
    let [svg] = element.getElementsByTagName('svg')

    // remove initial svg element created by the library
    svg.remove()

    // reinit rendering GaugeChart and referencing it to global variable
    this.gauge = GaugeChart.gaugeChart(element, 250, this.config)
    this.gauge.updateNeedle(this.needleValue)

    // updating the global gaugechart variable
    this.currentInterval = setInterval(() => {

      if (this.needleValue < 100) this.needleValue += 10
      if (this.currentInterval && this.needleValue === 100) clearInterval(this.currentInterval)

      this.gauge.updateNeedle(this.needleValue)
    }, 1000);

We can force re-render and re-init gaugeChart to updateNeedle using v-if too.

any clean version to achive this

@vano20 what is this.config here ?

@vano20 what is this.config here ?

I'm referring to this vanilla gaugeChart config
