I have a website based on Vue framework and webpack.
I came across this css framework developed by Google (Material Components Web) where you can directly get started using a cdn or an npm package. It worked extremely well for a simple html/javascript based website. But, I am having issues setting it up for the Vue project.
There are other wrappers available for Vue framework like Veutify and Vue Material. But, it comes with lot of additional stuff like the grid layout which I don't want the developers to follow as we are already using a flex layout. I only want the component library.
So, is there a way use the Material Components Web with the Vue framework?
I didn't get the Material Components Web working with the Vue framework. But I did found another light-weight material design framework i.e. Material Design Lite.
Note: It is not specific to any framework. It lets you add Material Design look to your website developed in any framework
You can easily get started with a wide variety of options like cdn, bower, npm or even by downloading the files.
Material Components Web has modular architecture. Each component or API is distributed as a separate package. It means that you can use them separately, although there are some dependencies.
Also there is "root" package - material-components-web, which just references all other packages.
By default, when you add a package, it will not be included in your app. You'll need to import component's SCSS and optionally JavaScript. Basically like you would use any other component.
Reference this Vue app template as an example. As you can see here, it references only subset of MDC's components/APIs.

I have a legacy web application which I have introduced Vue into in a few places, via CDN. I have upgraded it from Vue 2 to Vue 3. There is a component used there which breaks with Vue 3, but there is a Vue 3 version of it. However, the author states this: "The component is packaged mainly for use with bundlers, if you require a browser build - post an issue." I do require a browser build. Is there some easy way I can do this for myself? I wasn't planning to use a bundler for this application, so I'm hoping I can use the existing modules to create a .js file I can use from the browser?
As part of an agency project, we are working on a PWA that needs to be able to change its theme if an api tells it to.
The pwa already builds its manifest.json from the information returned by our api (via a nuxt plugin executed before rendering).
For theming we have several tracks but this deposit seems to be a good example of what is feasible : https://github.com/adrianjost/nuxtjs-theming
Is it possible via a nuxt plugin (or a module via hooks) to modify the currently selected theme? (i.e. to tell our PWA to get its views first in the selected theme folder) ?
As of right now, it looks like this is not doable with #nuxtjs/pwa module, but you can maybe get some inspiration to make your own solution.
Give a read to this answer and the thread overall: https://github.com/nuxt-community/pwa-module/issues/225#issuecomment-769880254
Having to manually handle workbox may be a solution: https://github.com/nuxt-community/pwa-module/issues/459 or use a totally hand-made solution of course.
I have developed a Vue 2.6 SPA using Vuetify and Material Design Icons that is included as described here, but some elements of the SPA (partially derived by a public template) use also "Material Design Iconic Font". I would like to host locally the "zmdi" icons, instead of using CDN, and following the instructions reported here I installed this additional icon pack using:
npm install material-design-iconic-font
I don't know how to correctly include "zmdi" icons into the VUE app.
Could anyone suggest the easiest way to host Material Design Iconic Font within the VUE SPA?
I finally solved using
import "material-design-iconic-font/dist/css/material-design-iconic-font.css";
into "main.js".
I have to include something else into "vue.config.js" to instruct webpack to correctly handle this css file?
I have created a SPA dashboard using Vue.JS and Laravel, and now would like to create a script that I can use in other sites I manage to just display the event data I am creating in the dashboard via the APIs I have made. I am using Laravel's webpack.mix to do my bundling. Thus far, I haven't really found anything for this situation that explains what I need to do. Any pointers would be helpful, and I can post my code, if I knew what code would be helpful. :)
I didn't entirely understand what you want to do but maybe this project will help. It's a Vue Component bundled using Laravel Mix and deployed to npm: https://github.com/niiknow/vue-datatables-net
Could you please explain what is the main difference between different Vue installation methods for building a one-page website (page routing) with Vue and an Electron app using Vue:
importing Vue.js library via <script>
installing it via Vue-CLI
This installation guide doesn't really help understand the difference.
Is my site / app going to work slower if I just import Vue via <script>?
The <script> include is for including the Vue library in your webpage just like you would any other JavaScript library. Vue will be available on the window object for you to access globally. All external JavaScript must be included like this one way or another, even if you use vue-cli.
vue-cli is just a tool which generates Vue projects from templates. The setup really depends on the template that you use; I imagine most people would probably use the webpack template for medium to large sized Vue projects. This will initialize a node project directory containing all files necessary to develop, debug, test and build a Vue project. Webpack takes care of bundling all modules into a single JavaScript bundle which is included into the webpage via <script>. You can also benefit from vue-loader which allows you to write Vue components in *.vue files.

I mean, not really, no (your development speed might be hindered though since you won't benefit from all the bells and whistles that vue-cli sets you up with). Your question applies more to the development approach that you will follow for developing a Vue web application.
