How to pass a javascript object to component in VueJS?

The question may sound basic, but I am unable to figure out how to do it in VueJS

I have the following in html

<script>
 var config = {'cols':4,'color':'red'}
</script>

<div id="app">
   <mycomponent :config="config"></mycomponent>
</div>

var app = new Vue({
   el: '#app',
   data: {
      // config: config // I do not want to pass this
   }
})

Following is the use case:

• I know this isn't working because config variable in the component is looking for app.config
• I do not want to pass it as data{ config:config } in the Vue Object.
• I can pass it as <mycomponent :config="{'cols':4,'color':'red'}"></mycomponent> but the config is going to be very long and this would be my last option.
• And yes, this config does not change once the page loads, so I do not need to bind values.

Is there a way to do this?
