How to access function inside methods of mixin from component lifecycle method in Vue.js

Question

Here is an example :

mixin.js

export default {
    methods : {
        aFunction() { // Some functionality here }
    }
}

component.vue

import mixin from './mixin'
export default {
    mixins : [ mixin ]
    created() {
        // Call aFunction defined in the mixin here
    }
}

I want to access the aFunction defined inside methods of mixin from the created() lifecycle method inside the component.

The mixin methods are merged with the current instance of the component, so it would just be:

created(){
  this.aFunction()
}

Here is an example.

console.clear()

const mixin = {
  methods:{
    aFunction(){
      console.log("called aFunction")
    }
  }
}

new Vue({
  mixins:[mixin],
  created(){
    this.aFunction()
  }
})
