So I have implemented Echarts with a Vue application, on one of the charts, I am trying to get the item clicked and pass it back to the parent component that way I can do specific calculations to it.

The 'on click' method works and I can console.log('params') easily, however, trying to reach any other functions outside of it is not possible for some reason...

here is my code...

data() {
   return {
      myChart: null,
      selectedState: {}
   }
}.
mounted() {
   this.myChart = echarts.init(document.getElementById("geoMap"))

   this.myChart.on('click', function(params){
      // It will run the console.log with correct info, but the 
      // method is not reachable...
      console.log(params)
      this.setSelectedState(params)
   })
},

// Inside my vue script this is just a method to set the data for now...
methods: {
   setSelectedState(params){
      this.selectedState = params
   },
}

any help would be nice!! thanks!

You're not in the Vue component context when listening to the chart event, so you have to change your callback function to an arrow one to access the component's this :

this.myChart.on('click', params => {
  this.setSelectedState(params)
});

methods: {
  setSelectedState(params) {
    console.log(params);
    this.selectedState = params
  }
}

By the way, you should use ref instead of getting your div with document.getElementById to attach your chart :

<div ref="geoMap"></div>

this.myChart = echarts.init(this.$refs.geoMap);
