Bind Vue click function on dynamically created content from jquery - laravel

Question

First of all I am new to vuejs., currently working on a project made using Laravel. I am using Vue where ever I feel the need for it. On a certain page I am using datatable to load list of machine requests
$list = LicenceRequests::orderBy('allocated')->with('users.userDetails')->where('users_id', '!=', 1)->get();
return Datatables::of($list)
->addColumn('actions', function ($list) {
return '<button data-id="'.$list->id.'" class="btn btn-success" #click="allocateEvent">Allocate</button>';
})
->addIndexColumn()
->rawColumns(['actions'])
->make(true);
I have added a click function so that When the datatable is rendered, a Vue function can be called. In the blade template, I am using the following html code :
<div id="content" class="content">
<div class="block">
<div class="block-content">
<table class="table table-bordered table-striped " id="requestList">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Sr. No</th>
<th class="hidden-xs" >Name</th>
<th class="hidden-xs" >Email</th>
<th class="hidden-xs" >Requests</th>
<th class="hidden-xs" >Allocated</th>
<th class="hidden-xs" >Date requested</th>
<th class="hidden-xs" >Machine address</th>
<th class="text-center">Actions</th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</div>?
For the datatable, I am calling it on the page load function as follows :
$(function (){
$('#requestList').dataTable({
processing: false,
serverSide: true,
ajax: '{!! route('admin.getLicenceRequests') !!}',
columns: [
{data: 'DT_Row_Index', orderable: false, searchable: false},
{ data: 'users.user_details.name', name: 'name' },
{ data: 'users.email', name: 'email' },
{ data: 'number', name: 'number' },
{ data: 'allocated', name: 'allocated' },
{ data: 'request_generated_on', name: 'request_generated_on' },
{ data: 'machine_address', name: 'machine_address' },
{ data: 'actions', name: 'actions',orderable: false, searchable: false }
],
lengthMenu: [[ 10, 15, 20], [ 10, 15, 20]]
});
});
I am initializing Vue on the same page
var vm = new Vue({
el: '#content',
methods: {
allocateEvent: function() {
console.log("hello");
}
}
})
The problem is that the function is not called when I press the button on the rendered html of datatable. If I bind the function to any otehr element fn the page it will work. Is there something I am missing or some Vue related code that I am not adding?
P.S I know this is not how Vue should be used with laravel blade. I just wanted to know why the above code is not working when it should.
Thanks

I don't think you can create a binding with dynamically rendered content like this. The problem is the vue application is created first and the content with the #click binding is rendered afterwards.
Here is a comment by Evan Yu regarding dynamic content:
https://forum-archive.vuejs.org/topic/151/vue-js-not-listening-to-dynamically-created-elements
It's suggested to use $compile(html) and appendChild when working with dynamic content.
