Call a dispatch event from inside a x-data function?

[yabdab]

I have a x-data set to a larger function to contain all logic.

x-data="app()"

How can I trigger a dispatch from inside that app()?

$dispatch and this.$dispatch is undefined when I try to use that.

Nevermind, I always find the answer after I ask publicly 😖

using this.$dispatch works, just not inside init()
