I have asp.net core project, which uses vuejs framework (javascript)
This is a sample of the page structure (with everything stripped out for simplicity)
//Index.cshtml
<div id="page-1">
</div>
<script src='~/page-1.js' defer></script>
//page-1.js
(function () {
var Page1Vue = new Vue({
el: "#page-1",
});
})();
everything works fine (mounted, all methods etc)
I want to bring in this external component https://vue-multiselect.js.org/, but cannot get it to work.
Has anyone any pointers on to integrate an external component into an existing instance.
import external library in _Layout.cshtml, please import esm.js library
<script type="importmap">
{
"imports": {
"vue": "/lib/vue.esm.browser.js_2.6.11/vue.esm-browser.js",
"vue-multiselect":"https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue-multiselect/3.0.0-alpha.2/vue-multiselect.esm.min.js"
}
}
</script>
insert multiselect node into Index.cshtml
<div id="app">
<multiselect v-model="value" :options="options"></multiselect>
</div>
create Vue Component into Index.cshtml
<script type="module">
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import VueMultiselect from 'vue-multiselect'
createApp({
data () {
return {
value: null,
options: ['list', 'of', 'options']
}
}
})
.component('multiselect', VueMultiselect)
.mount('#app')
</script>
#section Scripts
{
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/vue-multiselect#2.1.0/dist/vue-multiselect.min.css">
}
the result as below
I have the following Vue component:
<template>
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="main-container">
<Header />
<router-view/>
<Footer/>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import './assets/js/popper.min.js';
// other imports
// ....
export default {
name: 'App',
components : {
Header,
Footer
},
mounted(){
// this is syntax error
import './assets/js/otherjsfile.js'
}
}
</script>
As is clear from the code snippet, I want to have the otherjsfile.js loaded in mounted() hook. That script file has certain IIFEs which expects the html of the web page to be fully loaded.
So how do I invoke that js file in a lifecycle hook?
This is the pattern I use. The example is importing a js file which contains an IIFY, which instantiates an object on window.
The only problem with this would occur if you want to use SSR, in which case you need Vue's <ClientOnly> component, see Browser API Access Restrictions
mounted() {
import('../public/myLibrary.js').then(m => {
// use my library here or call a method that uses it
});
},
Note it also works with npm installed libraries, with the same path conventions i.e non-relative path indicates the library is under node_modules.
I'm a little unsure of what your asking. But if you are just trying to include an external js file in your page, you can just use the script tag in your template and not have to put anything in your mounted function, like this:
<template>
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="main-container">
<Header />
<router-view/>
<Footer/>
</div>
<script src="./assets/js/otherjsfile.js"></script>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import './assets/js/popper.min.js';
// other imports
// ....
export default {
name: 'App',
components : {
Header,
Footer
},
}
</script>
Does this solve your issue?
Note: Can we write vue.js large application without using any compiler for code like currently i see all example use webpack now to make vue.js code compatible for browser .
I want make vue.js application without webpack and without using .vue extension. Is it possible? if it is possible, can you provide a link or give sample how to use routing in that case.
As we make component in .vue extension can be make component in .js extension and use application as we do in angular 1 where we can make whole app without any trans-compiler to convert the code.
Can be done that in html , css , js file only and no webpack sort of thing.
What i have done .
index.js
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0">
<title>vueapp01</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="app"></div>
<!-- built files will be auto injected -->
</body>
</html>
main.js this file added in webpack load time
// The Vue build version to load with the `import` command
// (runtime-only or standalone) has been set in webpack.base.conf with an alias.
import Vue from 'vue'
import App from './App'
import router from './router'
Vue.config.productionTip = false
/* eslint-disable no-new */
new Vue({
el: '#app',
router,
components: { App },
template: '<App/>'
})
App.vue
<template>
<div id="app">
<img src="./assets/logo.png">
Hello route
Helloworld route
{{route}}
<router-view/>
<!-- <hello></hello> -->
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: 'App',
data () {
return {
route : "This is main page"
}
}
}
</script>
router
import Vue from 'vue'
import Router from 'vue-router'
import HelloWorld from '#/components/HelloWorld'
import Hello from '../components/Hello'
Vue.use(Router)
export default new Router({
routes: [
{
path: '/',
name: 'HelloWorld',
component: HelloWorld
},
{
path: '/hello',
name: 'Hello',
component: Hello
}
]
})
I have done something like this . Can we do this by just html , css , js file only with not webpack to compile code . Like we do in angular 1 .
Thanks
As stated in this jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/posva/wtpuevc6/ , you have no obligation to use webpack or .vue files.
The code below is not from me and all credit goes to this jsFiddle creator:
Create an index.html file:
<script src="https://npmcdn.com/vue/dist/vue.js"></script>
<script src="https://npmcdn.com/vue-router/dist/vue-router.js"></script>
<script src="/js/Home.js"></script>
<script src="/js/Foo.js"></script>
<script src="/js/router.js"></script>
<script src="/js/index.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<router-link to="/">/home</router-link>
<router-link to="/foo">/foo</router-link>
<router-view></router-view>
</div>
Home.js
const Home = { template: '<div>Home</div>' }
Foo.js
const Foo = { template: '<div>Foo</div>' }
router.js
const router = new VueRouter({
mode: 'history',
routes: [
{ path: '/', component: Home },
{ path: '/foo', component: Foo }
]
})
index.js
new Vue({
router,
el: '#app',
data: {
msg: 'Hello World'
}
})
Appreciate the framework...
Just a sidenote: .vue files are really awesome, you should definitely try them if not using them is not a requirement
I have started learning vue.js also and I am not familiar with webpack and stuff and I also wanted to still separate and use .vue files as it makes management and code cleaner.
I have found this library:
https://github.com/FranckFreiburger/http-vue-loader
and a sample project using it:
https://github.com/kafkaca/vue-without-webpack
I am using it and it seems to work fine.
You perfectly can, but with a lot of disadvantages. For example: you cannot easily use any preprocessor, like Sass or Less; or TypeScript or transpile source code with Babel.
If you don't need support for older browser, you can use ES6 modules today. Almost all browsers support it. See: ES6-Module.
But Firefox doesn't support dynamic import(). Only Firefox 66 (Nightly) support it and need to be enabled.
And if that wasn't enough, your web application will not be indexed. It's bad for SEO.
For example, Googlebot can craw and index Javascript code but still uses older Chrome 41 for rendering, and it's version don't support ES6 modules.
If that are not disadvantages for you, then you can do this:
Remove any thirty party library import like Vue, VueRouter, etc. And include those in the index.html file using script tags. All global variables are accesible in all es6 modules. For example, remove this line from main.js and all .vue files:
import Vue from 'vue';
And add this line in your index.html:
<script src="https://npmcdn.com/vue/dist/vue.js"></script>
Rewrite all .vue files and change file extension to .js. For example, rewrite something like this:
<template>
<div id="home-page">
{{msg}}
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data: function() {
return { msg: 'Put home page content here' };
}
}
</script>
<style>
#home-page {
color: blue;
}
</style>
to something like this:
let isMounted = false; /* Prevent duplicated styles in head tag */
export default {
template: `
<div id="home-page"> /* Put an "id" or "class" attribute to the root element of the component. Its important for styling. You can not use "scoped" attribute because there isn't a style tag. */
{{msg}}
</div>`,
mounted: function () {
if (!isMounted) {
let styleElem = document.createElement('style');
styleElem.textContent = `
#home-page {
color: blue;
}
`;
document.head.appendChild(styleElem);
isMounted = true;
}
},
data: function () {
return {
msg: 'Put home page content here'
};
}
}
It is all. I put an example in this link
P.S. Text editing without syntax highlighting can be frustrating. If you use Visual Studio Code you can install Template Literal Editor extension. It allows editing literal strings with syntax highlight. For styles select CSS syntax, and for templates HTML syntax. Unknown tag in HTML are highlighted differently. For solve this, change the color theme. For example, install Brackets Dark Pro color theme or any theme do you like.
Regards!
For sure you can. We did a project with Vue, and we had couple of problems during compiling .vue files.
So we switched to structure with three separate files.
But be aware that you need webpack anyway. The idea of Vue was to split huge projects into components, so using template inside .js file it's pretty normal.
So take a look at
html-loader
And
css-loader
Using these modules you can write something like this:
component.js
// For importing `css`. Read more in documentation above
import './component.css'
// For importing `html`. Read more in documentation above
const templateHtml = require('./component.html')
export default {
name: 'ComponentName',
components: { /* your components */ },
mixins: [/* your mixins */ ],
template: templateHtml,
computed: .....
}
component.css
#header {
color: red
}
component.html
<div id="header"></div>
BUT
You need to know that HTML file should be written in the same way as I you will have it in template property.
Also, take a look at this repo, maybe you will find something useful here
Vue-html-loader. It is a fork from html-loader by Vue core team.
In vuejs 3 you you can do it in an ES6 modular fashion (no webpack or other tools required):
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="importmap">
{
"imports": {
"vue": "https://unpkg.com/vue#3.0.11/dist/vue.esm-browser.js",
"vue-router": "https://unpkg.com/vue-router#4.0.5/dist/vue-router.esm-browser.js",
"html" : "/utils/html.js"
}
}
</script>
<script src="/main.js" type="module"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="app"></div>
</body>
</html>
main.js
import { createApp, h } from 'vue';
import {createRouter, createWebHashHistory} from 'vue-router';
import App from './components/App.js';
const routes = [//each import will be loaded when route is active
{ path: '/', component: ()=>import('./components/Home.js') },
{ path: '/about', component: ()=>import('./components/About.js') },
]
const router = createRouter({
history: createWebHashHistory(),
routes,
})
const app = createApp({
render: () => h(App),
});
app.use(router);
app.mount(`#app`);
components/App.js
import html from 'html';
export default {
name: `App`,
template: html`
<router-link to="/">Go to Home</router-link>
<router-link to="/about">Go to About</router-link>
<router-view></router-view>
`};
components/Home.js
import html from 'html';
export default {
template: html`
<div>Home</div>
`};
components/About.js
import html from 'html';
export default {
template: html`
<div>About</div>
`};
utils/html.js
// html`..` will render the same as `..`
// We just want to be able to add html in front of string literals to enable
// highlighting using lit-html vscode plugin.
export default function () {
arguments[0] = { raw: arguments[0] };
return String.raw(...arguments);
}
Notes:
Currently (04/2021) importmap works only on chrome (firefox in progress). To make the code compatible with other browsers also, just import (on each .js file) the dependencies directly from the urls. In this case though vue-router.esm-browser.js still imports 'vue', so you should serve an updated version of it, replacing import { .... } from 'vue' with import { .... } from 'https://unpkg.com/vue#3.0.11/dist/vue.esm-browser.js'
To avoid waterfall loading effect, you can add <link rel="modulepreload" href="[module-name]"> entries to index.html to start preloading some or all modules asynchronously before you need them.

Vue can be included on a single html page quite simply:
Vue 3 minimal example:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue#3/dist/vue.global.js"></script>
<div id="app">{{ message }}</div>
<script>
const { createApp } = Vue
createApp({
data() {
return {
message: 'Hello Vue!'
}
}
}).mount('#app')
</script>

I am trying to mix vuejs single file components with the normal style of components (not sure what they are called) which I have existing code developed for already.
main.js
import Vue from 'vue'
import test from './test.vue'
import VueMaterial from 'vue-material'
Vue.use(VueMaterial)
new Vue({
el: '#app',
render: h => h(test,
{props: {
testprop: 'ttttt'
}
}),
data:{
// /testprop: 'tytytytyty'
}
})
test.vue
<template>
<div>
<my-component></my-component>
<div>This is the first single page component</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import MyComponent from '../src/components/MyComponent.js'
import TestTest from '../src/components/TestTest.vue'
export default {
name: 'MainApp',
props: ['testprop'],
components: {
TestTest,
MyComponent
},
mounted: function(){
},
computed:{
returnProp: function(){
return this.testprop
}
}
}
</script>
<style lang="scss" scoped>
.md-menu {
margin: 24px;
}
</style>
MyComponent.js Normal style component
window.Vue = require('Vue') //would give errors vue undefined if i dont't add this line
Vue.component('my-component', {
name: 'my-component',
template: '<div>Normal component</div>'
})
index.html
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">

The single file component and a child single file component (not showed here) display fine. The normal type will show up as
<!--function (t,n,r,i){return Mt(e,t,n,r,i,!0)}-->
In the generated html.
Iv'e also tried doing the MyComponent import in the main.js file.
Any ideas?
I don't really want to convert all my existing components into single file ones :(
According to the docs, a child component is an object, not something attached to the Vue instance (i.e Vue.component()) so declare your component like this:
MyComponent.js
export default {
name: 'my-component',
template: '<div>Normal component</div>'
}
If you want to keep the format of MyComponent as is then you'll need to register the component before the new Vue call.
I am using nuxt.js (which is based on vue.js) to build a custom website, I need to load an Ad on my website using a provided by my partners, and I need to place it at a specific place on my html code. So I add it to my component template but it does not render.
Here is a sample of the code I'm trying to get to work
<template>
<div>
<div class="columns is-centered is-mobile">
<p>Hello World</p>
</div>
<div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="sampleSource"></script>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
}
</script>
the script that comes from src="sampleSource" doesn't load and doesn't execute, any help is appreciated. Thank you very much.
On the page, use in metadata with body: true for add script inside body
<script>
export default {
head: {
script: [
{ src: '/head.js' },
// Supported since Nuxt 1.0
{ src: '/body.js', body: true },
{ src: '/defer.js', defer: '' }
]
}
}
</script>
You need to create a (sample-source.vue) component and take it to the /components dir.
After that you need to create a plugin for your component: /plugins/sample-source.js
sample-source.js :
import Vue from 'vue'
import SampleSource from '~/components/sample-source.vue'
Vue.use(SampleSource)
nuxt.config.js:
...
module.export
...
plugins: [
'~/plugins/sample-source.js'
]
After these steps you can use your component everywhere.
Or the easiest way:
<template>
<div>
<div class="columns is-centered is-mobile">
<p>Hello World</p>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
mounted () {
----your code here from sampleSource.js----
}
}
</script>
