Submit a form in vue. How do I reference the form element?

The answer would be: ref: https://v2.vuejs.org/v2/api/#ref

Markup

<div id="vueRoot">
  <form ref="form">
    <input name="vitalInformation" v-model="store.vital">
    <a href="#" v-on:click="submit">SUBMIT</a>
  </form>
</div>

code

var store = {vital:''};
vm = new Vue({
  el : "#vueRoot",
  data : {store : store},
  methods : {
    submit : function(){
      this.$refs.form.$el.submit()
    }
  }
});
