vue component this.$children are always empty

here is my code:



<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<!--mobile friendly-->
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=yes">
<script type="text/javascript" src="../../node_modules/vue/dist/vue.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="app">
<selection>
<selection-item></selection-item>
<selection-item></selection-item>
</selection>
</div>
<script>
Vue.component("selection", {
mounted: function () {
var c = this.$children
console.log(c)
},
template: `<div></div>`
})
new Vue({el: "#app"})
</script>
</body>


the output is Array(0), but in my code, selection has children selection-item, so how to get vue component "selection"'s children "selection-item"



here is my vue version:



roroco@roroco ~/Dropbox/js/ro-js/node_modules/vue $ cat package.json |gr version
"_nodeVersion": "8.4.0",
"_npmVersion": "5.4.1",
"version": "2.4.4"

          Based on the docs on $children:




          The direct child components of the current instance. Note there’s no order guarantee for $children, and it is not reactive. If you find yourself trying to use $children for data binding, consider using an Array and v-for to generate child components, and use the Array as the source of truth.




          Another option is to make use of $slots which holds the direct child components wrapped in VNode interface.






          Vue.component("selection", {
          mounted() {
          var children = this.$slots.default;

          //console.log(children);
          },
          template: `
          <div>
          <slot></slot>
          </div>`
          });

          Vue.component("selection-item", {
          template: `<div></div>`
          });

          new Vue({
          el: "#app"
          })

          <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.17/vue.js"></script>

          <div id="app">
          <selection>
          <selection-item></selection-item>
          <selection-item></selection-item>
          </selection>
          </div>





          If you need the children as HTML element, they will be inside this same wrapper, under a property called elm. Also note that despite the singular name, this.$slots.default is actually an array. So something like,



          const children = this.$slots.default
          .map(vnode => vnode.elm)
          .filter(el => el.tagName === 'DIV');

            I find the solution: i should add <slot></slot> in vue component template, here is work code:



            <!DOCTYPE html>
            <html lang="en">
            <head>
            <meta charset="utf-8">

            </head>
            <body>
            <div id="app">
            <selection>
            <selection-item></selection-item>
            <selection-item></selection-item>

                  </selection>
                  </div>





                  If you need the children as HTML element, they will be inside this same wrapper, under a property called elm. Also note that despite the singular name, this.$slots.default is actually an array. So something like,



                  const children = this.$slots.default
                  .map(vnode => vnode.elm)
                  .filter(el => el.tagName === 'DIV');





                  Vue.component("selection", {
                  mounted() {
                  var children = this.$slots.default;

                  //console.log(children);
                  },
                  template: `
                  <div>
                  <slot></slot>
                  </div>`
                  });

                  Vue.component("selection-item", {
                  template: `<div></div>`
                  });

                  new Vue({
                  el: "#app"
                  })

                  <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.17/vue.js"></script>

                  <div id="app">

                  <selection-item></selection-item>
                  <selection-item></selection-item>
                  </selection>
                  </div>





                  Vue.component("selection", {
                  mounted() {
                  var children = this.$slots.default;

                  //console.log(children);
                  },
                  template: `
                  <div>
                  <slot></slot>
                  </div>`
                  });

                  Vue.component("selection-item", {
                  template: `<div></div>`
                  });

                  new Vue({
                  el: "#app"
                  })

                  <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.17/vue.js"></script>
