beforeUpdate hook in directives?

We are trying to find a solution for being notified before a dom update takes place.

In our particular usecase we are integrating vue with a third party plugin that also manipulated the DOM. We are looking for a safe way to ensure this execution order:

1. vue renders dom
2. lib initializes (dom modification) ==> state update ($set)
3. lib uninitialize (revert dom modification)
4. vue rerenders dom
5. lib initializes (dom modification)

We’ve tried to use a directive for this but this only solves step 2 and 5 (Directive.update). We are looking for something like beforeUpdate inside the directive to handle 3.

Is there a proper way to handle this?

Looks like this made it into 2.0 👏

Alright, so we’ll leave it at that and I’ll close it for now. I’ll let you know if we find a nice way to encapsulate this nicely 😃
