How can I use obfuscation js with Vue and Nuxt? - vue.js

I am trying to obfuscate the Nuxt project with javascript-obfuscator. Looking at their documentation it looks like we have to import their plugin in Webpack plugins. But they dont have the documentation for Vue or Nuxt way to do it. I also tried searching on google, but there aren't no relevant examples.
I also want to exclude node_modules from obfuscation.
Nuxt js documentation has something like
import webpack from 'webpack'
export default {
build: {
plugins: [
new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
// global modules
$: 'jquery',
_: 'lodash'
})
]
}
}
And Obsufaction has
var WebpackObfuscator = require('webpack-obfuscator');
// webpack plugins array
plugins: [
new WebpackObfuscator ({
rotateStringArray: true
}, ['excluded_bundle_name.js'])
]
How can i use it with nuxt and also exclude the node_modules folders?

Unable to load stencil components lib with Vue3 using Vite

I created a sample project to reproduce this issue: https://github.com/splanard/vue3-vite-web-components
I initialized a vue3 project using npm init vue#latest, as recommanded in the official documentation.
Then I installed Scale, a stencil-built web components library. (I have the exact same issue with the internal design system of my company, so I searched for public stencil-built libraries to reproduce the issue.)
I configured the following in main.ts:
import '#telekom/scale-components-neutral/dist/scale-components/scale-components.css';
import { applyPolyfills, defineCustomElements } from '#telekom/scale-components-neutral/loader';
const app = createApp(App);
app.config.compilerOptions.isCustomElement = (tag) => tag.startsWith('scale-')
applyPolyfills().then(() => {
defineCustomElements(window);
});
And the same isCustomElement function in vite.config.js:
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [vue({
template: {
compilerOptions: {
isCustomElement: (tag) => tag.startsWith('scale-')
}
}
})]
// ...
})
I inserted a simple button in my view (TestView.vue), then run npm run dev.
When opening my test page (/test) containing the web component, I have an error in my web browser's console:
failed to load module "http://localhost:3000/node_modules/.vite/deps/scale-button_14.entry.js?import" because of disallowed MIME type " "
As it's the case with both Scale and my company's design system, I'm pretty sure it's reproducible with any stencil-based components library.
Edit
It appears that node_modules/.vite is the directory where Vite's dependency pre-bundling feature caches things. And the script scale-button_14.entry.js the browser fails to load doesn't exist at all in node_modules/.vite/deps. So the issue might be linked to this "dependency pre-bundling" feature: somehow, could it not detect the components from the library loader?
Edit 2
I just found out there is an issue in Stencil repository mentioning that dynamic imports do not work with modern built tools like Vite. This issue has been closed 7 days ago (lucky me!), and version 2.16.0 of Stencil is supposed to fix this. We shall see.
For the time being, dropping the lazy loading and loading all the components at once through a plain old script tag in the HTML template seems to be an acceptable workaround.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/#telekom/scale-components/dist/scale-components/scale-components.css">
<script type="module" src="node_modules/#telekom/scale-components/dist/scale-components/scale-components.esm.js"></script>
However, I can't get vite pre-bundling feature to ignore these imports. I configured optimizeDeps.exclude in vite.config.js but I still get massive warnings from vite when I run npm run dev:
export default defineConfig({
optimizeDeps: {
exclude: [
// I tried pretty much everything here: no way to force vite pre-bundling to ignore it...
'scale-components-neutral'
'#telekom/scale-components-neutral'
'#telekom/scale-components-neutral/**/*'
'#telekom/scale-components-neutral/**/*.js'
'node_modules/#telekom/scale-components-neutral/**/*.js'
],
},
// ...
});
This issue has been fixed by Stencil in version 2.16.
Upgrading Stencil to 2.16.1 in the components library dependency and rebuilding it with the experimentalImportInjection flag solved the problem.
Then, I can import it following the official documentation:
main.ts
import '#telekom/scale-components-neutral/dist/scale-components/scale-components.css';
import { applyPolyfills, defineCustomElements } from '#telekom/scale-components-neutral/loader';
const app = createApp(App);
applyPolyfills().then(() => {
defineCustomElements(window);
});
And configure the custom elements in vite config:
vite.config.js
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [vue({
template: {
compilerOptions: {
isCustomElement: (tag) => tag.startsWith('scale-')
}
}
})]
// ...
})
I did not configure main.ts
stencil.js version is 2.12.1,tsconfig.json add new config option in stencil:
{
"compilerOptions": {
...
"skipLibCheck": true,
...
}
}
add new config option in webpack.config.js :
vue 3 document
...
module: {
rules:[
...
{
test: /\.vue$/,
use: {
loader: "vue-loader",
options: {
compilerOptions: {
isCustomElement: tag => tag.includes("-")
}
}
}
}
...
]
}
...

Web3js fails to import in Vue3 composition api project

I've created a brand new project with npm init vite bar -- --template vue. I've done an npm install web3 and I can see my package-lock.json includes this package. My node_modules directory also includes the web3 modules.
So then I added this line to main.js:
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import Web3 from 'web3' <-- This line
createApp(App).mount('#app')
And I get the following error:
I don't understand what is going on here. I'm fairly new to using npm so I'm not super sure what to Google. The errors are coming from node_modules/web3/lib/index.js, node_modules/web3-core/lib/index.js, node_modules/web3-core-requestmanager/lib/index.js, and finally node_modules/util/util.js. I suspect it has to do with one of these:
I'm using Vue 3
I'm using Vue 3 Composition API
I'm using Vue 3 Composition API SFC <script setup> tag (but I imported it in main.js so I don't think it is this one)
web3js is in Typescript and my Vue3 project is not configured for Typescript
But as I am fairly new to JavaScript and Vue and Web3 I am not sure how to focus my Googling on this error. My background is Python, Go, Terraform. Basically the back end of the back end. Front end JavaScript is new to me.
How do I go about resolving this issue?
Option 1: Polyfill Node globals/modules
Polyfilling the Node globals and modules enables the web3 import to run in the browser:
Install the ESBuild plugins that polyfill Node globals/modules:
npm i -D #esbuild-plugins/node-globals-polyfill
npm i -D #esbuild-plugins/node-modules-polyfill
Configure optimizeDeps.esbuildOptions to use these ESBuild plugins.
Configure define to replace global with globalThis (the browser equivalent).
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import GlobalsPolyfills from '#esbuild-plugins/node-globals-polyfill'
import NodeModulesPolyfills from '#esbuild-plugins/node-modules-polyfill'
export default defineConfig({
⋮
optimizeDeps: {
esbuildOptions: {
2️⃣
plugins: [
NodeModulesPolyfills(),
GlobalsPolyfills({
process: true,
buffer: true,
}),
],
3️⃣
define: {
global: 'globalThis',
},
},
},
})
demo 1
Note: The polyfills add considerable size to the build output.
Option 2: Use pre-bundled script
web3 distributes a bundled script at web3/dist/web3.min.js, which can run in the browser without any configuration (listed as "pure js"). You could configure a resolve.alias to pull in that file:
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
export default defineConfig({
⋮
resolve: {
alias: {
web3: 'web3/dist/web3.min.js',
},
// or
alias: [
{
find: 'web3',
replacement: 'web3/dist/web3.min.js',
},
],
},
})
demo 2
Note: This option produces 469.4 KiB smaller output than Option 1.
You can avoid the Uncaught ReferenceError: process is not defined error by adding this in your vite config
export default defineConfig({
// ...
define: {
'process.env': process.env
}
})
I found the best solution.
The problem is because you lose window.process variable, and process exists only on node, not the browser.
So you should inject it to browser when the app loads.
Add this line to your app:
window.process = {
...window.process,
};

Vue Froala and Laravel Mix - Cannot find module 'babel-runtime/core-js/json/stringify'

I'm trying to install Vue froala on my Laravel project.
I followed the exact instruction provided here: https://github.com/froala/vue-froala-wysiwyg but I get:
Cannot find module 'babel-runtime/core-js/json/stringify
Not sure if I have to touch the webpack.mix.js. I only try to add jQuery required by Froala. So now it looks like that:
const mix = require('laravel-mix');
mix.webpackConfig(webpack => {
return {
resolve: {
extensions: ['.js', '.vue'],
alias: {
'#':__dirname + '/resources'
}
},
plugins: [
// ...
// Jquery loader plugin.
new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
$: "jquery",
jQuery: "jquery"
})
]
}
})
I found people fixing a similar problem manually installing babel-runtime as a package.json dependancy. I did, but it didn't work.
Any help?
Based on a recommendation, I used:
import VueFroala from 'vue-froala-wysiwyg/dist/vue-froala.min.js'
... which worked for me.

Dedupe CSS in Vue.js development mode

I am working on a Vue.js project that heavily uses single file components. These components have scss styles associated with them.
In production mode the duplicate css that occurs from importing the same component multiple times is filtered out. But in development mode the same scss is imported multiple times.
This leads to slow downs with the chrome debugger when inspecting and modifying the css.
Does anone know a way to dedupe the css/scss attatched to single file components in developlment mode?
Here is my current vue config:
module.exports = {
lintOnSave: false,
configureWebpack: {
resolve: {
alias: require("./aliases.config").webpack
},
plugins: [
new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
$: "jquery",
_: "lodash"
}),
new webpack.IgnorePlugin(/^\.\/locale$/, /moment$/)
]
}
Here's how we ended up solving it.
Import only pure SCSS in components (ie. mixins, variables, functions). If a file with CSS is imported in each component the sass loader will NOT dedupe the CSS in development mode.
In your vue config add the following to include you scss variables in every single file component:
module.exports = {
...
css: {
loaderOptions: {
sass: {
data: `
#import "#src/_variables.scss";
`
}
}
},
...
}
Import your global scss in your app entry (main.js or equivalent)
import "bootstrap";
import "#src/global.scss";
In your global.scss file you can import your variables file so that it can also access your scss variables.

Including static assets from modules

I am trying out the (as of now) latest version of vue-cli and ran into a problem importing static assets. My setup is pretty much a default fresh project with nothing but vuex selected and my first goal was to get a boring template with semantic ui running. This also implies jQuery with semantic ui depending on it.
To this end I added this script section to the main App.vue
<script>
require('~/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js');
require('./semantic/dist/semantic.js');
</script>
..following the URL transformation rules explained here. My (partial) folder structure is:
node_modules
jquery
dist
jquery.min.js
src
semantic
dist
semantic.min.js
Running npm run serve does find semantic but not jquery. Can someone tell me why this proposed method of including static assets does not work in this case?
Edit for clarification: My question is explicitly about this proposed method of importing and the URL transformation rules. For anyone needing some method of getting this to work I am currently using this as a workaround:
<script>
import jQuery from 'jquery';
window.$ = window.jQuery = jQuery;
require('./semantic/dist/semantic.js');
export default {
}
</script>
If you're using webpack. There is another method to includes jQuery as global variable using ProvidePlugin. You can add to your webpack.base.conf.js
module.exports = {
plugins: [
new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
$: 'jquery',
jquery: 'jquery',
'window.jQuery': 'jquery',
jQuery: 'jquery'
})
]
}
If you're using Eslint, you need to add to .eslintrc.js
module.exports = {
globals: {
"$": true,
"jQuery": true
},
...
