VueJs 2.0 emit event from grand child to his grand parent component

Vue 2.4 introduced a way to easily pass events up the hierarchy using vm.$listeners

From https://vuejs.org/v2/api/#vm-listeners :

Contains parent-scope v-on event listeners (without .native modifiers). This can be passed down to an inner component via v-on="$listeners" – useful when creating transparent wrapper components.

See the snippet below using v-on="$listeners" in the grand-child component in the child template:

Vue.component('parent', {
  template:
    '<div>' +
      '<p>I am the parent. The value is {{displayValue}}.</p>' +
      '<child @toggle-value="toggleValue"></child>' +
    '</div>',
  data() {
    return {
      value: false
    }
  },
  methods: {
    toggleValue() { this.value = !this.value }
  },
  computed: {
    displayValue() {
      return (this.value ? "ON" : "OFF")
    }
  }
})

Vue.component('child', {
  template:
    '<div class="child">' +
      '<p>I am the child. I\'m just a wrapper providing some UI.</p>' +
      '<grand-child v-on="$listeners"></grand-child>' +
    '</div>'
})

Vue.component('grand-child', {
  template:
    '<div class="child">' +
      '<p>I am the grand-child: ' +
        '<button @click="emitToggleEvent">Toggle the value</button>' +
      '</p>' +
    '</div>',
  methods: {
    emitToggleEvent() { this.$emit('toggle-value') }
  }
})

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

.child {
  padding: 10px;
  border: 1px solid #ddd;
  background: #f0f0f0
}

<div id="app">
  <parent></parent>
</div>
