VueJS 2 and Vue Resource - Chrome Crashes (infinite loop?)

Question

Using VueJS2 with vue-resource

Building a trait for handling CRUD functions.

My model data is stored in data at key selectedClientModel (for example), and so, the component that uses this Trait defines the key to store the data ie >>

this.dataModel = "selectedClientModel";

and sets the resourceUri appropriately. ie>>

this.resourceUri = "/api/admin/clients";

So, the Trait is below.....

    updateModel() {
        var vm = this;
        var model = this.$data[this.dataModel];
        this.$http.put(this.resourceUri + '/' + model.id, model).then(function(response) {
            alert('success');
        }, function (response) {
            alert('failure');
        });
    },

When I run this, chrome crashes, so I installed FF for Devs and found the following:

InternalError: too much recursion

I have no idea why this is turning into an infinite loop... any help would be greatly appreciated.

(FYI, I am using Vue-resource for create and delete and they work perfectly fine....)
