"accept" event triggered at start if accepted in the past

vue & vue-cookie-law version

1.13.3

Hi,

I was loosing my hair because Google Analytics was listening 2 times to all my events... but I ended up finding that's cookieLaw component that triggers the @accept='...' listener even if no click happened.

I mean:

• I'm new user, the cookie consent pops up
• I accept it by clicking, the @accept is triggered
• If I refresh my page
• the @accept is also triggered immediately since I guess the component detects it has been accepted in the past (thanks to local storage)

I thought it would just trigger @accept when there is a click, and in other case (initialization...), we wait for the component to be ready, and we use isAccepted(), no?

Thank you,

EDIT:
If that's the wanted behavior, it would be great to mention it in the docs https://github.com/apertureless/vue-cookie-law#events

Well, the event gets emitted in the mounted hook.

However, I would consider this rather a bug. Because you are right, the accept event should be only emitted on action.

I will rename the mounted one to accepted so you have one event that gets emitted on component mounting and one on action. Because I think it is good to have one evenet that will tell you early on if a user accepted cookies previously. Especially if you are not using scoped slots, just the simple version.

The problem is that's a breaking change if people are relying on that.

If you decide to switch to accepted event, when do you plan to release? Just to know if I workaround in the meantime?

Thank you for your work 👍
