How to read my end yaml config file in vue pages? - vue.js

I am using nuxt and config.yml with .config.yml extended file. And I want to read finally generated config in any page I want. How to do that?
If I add const config = require('config-yml'); in .vue file or in any plugin .js I had a lot of errors compilations.

Ok, found.
env: {
config: config
}
in nuxt.config.js
But not found how to get from .config.yml

StencilJs set Typo

I started using Stencil a few weeks ago and I was wondering if there is a way to set a global sass file to handle typo.
I already created a variables.scss file under global folder and I also tried with global.scss but without success.
There's a globalStyle config option (see https://stenciljs.com/docs/config#globalstyle).
If you're already using #stencil/sass in your project, then you just need to add the config option:
// stencil.config.ts
import { Config } from '#stencil/core';
import { sass } from '#stencil/sass';
export const config: Config {
namespace: 'app',
plugins: [sass()],
// ...
globalStyle: 'src/global/variables.scss'
};
If you want to include multiple files in your global stylesheet, it makes sense to have a file like src/global/app.scss and then use #import to include other files in there.
Note that this will generate a file www/build/<namespace>.css (for the www output target) which you will have to include in the head of your index.html manually:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/build/app.css">

Downloading file with a href tag makes the file illegible

I have the following code
<a href="../../assets/all-work/proto/pdf-test.pdf" download>Download</a>
It's inside a vue component which is located in src/components/Home/Proto.vue and the file is located in src/assets/all-work/proto/pdf-test.pdf, when I click download it downloads something completely illegible, why's that and how could I fix it?
I'm going to assume you're using Vue CLI.
The default configuration generated by the Vue CLI has special handling for images. To get the same thing working for PDFs you need to configure it yourself.
Firstly, you'll need to explicitly use require on your href:
<a :href="require('../../assets/all-work/proto/pdf-test.pdf')" download>Download</a>
In some scenarios, such as the src attribute of an <img>, the wrapping with require is performed automatically. For an <a href> it isn't.
You'll then run into a Webpack loader error because Webpack has no idea what to do with a .pdf file.
To fix that you'll need to configure a file-loader in vue.config.js:
module.exports = {
chainWebpack (config) {
config.module.rule('pdf')
.test(/\.pdf$/)
.use('file-loader')
.loader('file-loader')
}
}
If you don't already have a vue.config.js file then you'll need to create one. It goes at the top level, next to your package.json.
If you do already have a vue.config.js then you'll need to merge the chainWebpack property in, alongside your existing configuration.
By default the file will be renamed to a hash based on its content. It you want to retain the original file name you can configure that instead:
chainWebpack (config) {
config.module.rule('pdf')
.test(/\.pdf$/)
.use('file-loader')
.loader('file-loader')
.options({
name: '[name].[ext]'
})
}
More details on the name option can be found at:

how to override vue cli-service entry settings

I'm trying to integrate a vue project that I built with the vue cli into an existing .net app. I'm very new to vue, so I'm trying to follow guides and such, but am left with lots of questions.
While trying to compile this, I found that the vue cli-service node module has the following for setting the main.js file located in it's base.js file.
webpackConfig
.mode('development')
.context(api.service.context)
.entry('app')
.add('./src/main.js')
.end()
.output
.path(api.resolve(options.outputDir))
.filename(isLegacyBundle ? '[name]-legacy.js' : '[name].js')
.publicPath(options.publicPath)
I need to override this since my .net app doesn't have a src directory and the usage of this vue app won't follow that path structure. I'm not seeing a way to do it in my vue.config.js file. I would expect that if I can override it, that would be the spot.
I could overwrite the base.js file where this exists, but when a co-worker runs npm install, they would get the default value rather than what I have. The only option I see there is checking in all the node modules to git which we really don't want to do.
For anyone in a similar situation, I found what worked for me. It's not the ideal solution due to the fact that it forces you to build into a js folder. That resulted in the file being put in Scripts\build\vue\js. Would be nice to be able to just dump it in the vue folder, but at least this works. Code below.
vue.config.js
module.exports = {
publicPath : "/",
outputDir: "Scripts/build/vue", //where to put the files
// Modify Webpack config
// https://cli.vuejs.org/config/#chainwebpack
chainWebpack: config => {
// Not naming bundle 'app'
config.entryPoints.delete('app'); //removes what base.js added
},
// Overriding webpack config
configureWebpack: {
// Naming bundle 'bundleName'
entry: {
quote: './Scripts/Quote/index.js' //where to get the main vue app js file
},
optimization: {
splitChunks: false
}
},
filenameHashing: false,
pages: {
quoteApp: { //by using pages, it allowed me to name the output file quoteApp.js
entry: './Scripts/Quote/index.js',
filename: 'index.html'
}
}
}

Vue CLI v3 - How does it know what JS files should be chunked in a different file(s)

I am having hard times wrapping my mind around new CLI and configuration.
In the official documentation, I couldn't really find anything about CSS and how to add it as an entry point and not import it directly into an component or main.js file.
I realized that some JS files are being chunked into separate file, from main.js and the rest gets compiled where supposed to - into the app.js.
I was wondering, how does it know in the background what should be stored as "vendor" for the JS, but when I try to import some "vendor" SASS files into main.js it does not and it merges all within a single app.css file.
Can anyone tell me, how does one create/modify the vue.config.js and tell the bundler that I also want app.scss to be an entry point and vendor.scss to be another entry point.
I am unsure what are best practices for such purpose, but I always did it this way with my own webpack config...
Partial example below:
entry: {
vendor: [
'./styles/vendor.scss',
'./scripts/vendor.js'
],
app: [
'./styles/app.scss',
'./scripts/app.js'
]
}
EDIT #1
I think I got the first one...
"How does it know what should be chunked in "vendor" files?
Whatever gets imported from node_modules, it is being chunked.
What I did not figure out yet is... What if I am having my personal assets/styles/vendor directory where I #import those SASS files from NPM and do some modifications of variables or whatever.
Importing this file to main.js does not get chunked in this case... So there must be a way to tell bundler that I want everything within that directory or everything within vendor.scss file where everything is being imported, to be chunked out.
EDIT #2
I figured I can use WebPack's magical comments to import the main vendor SCSS file, such as:
import(/* webpackChunkName: "vendor" */ './assets/styles/vendor.scss')
I don't have a problem with this, but apparently the bundler does. It generates an empty vendor.[hash].js file as well.
EDIT #3
I did further research and learned that there's a command vue inspect which would output the webpack configuration.
So when making tweaks to vue.config.js, we can look a the output with this command if there's a bug or something is not working as expected.
Further more, I learned that if we specify entry directly in our vue.config.js file, that we will get an error that entry cannot be specified within our configuration file.
The following is forbidden to do so, but it's what I actually want to achieve...
// vue.config.js
module.exports = {
entry: {
app: [
'./src/main.js',
'./src/assets/styles/app.scss'
],
vendor: [
'./src/assets/styles/vendor.scss'
]
}
}
The actual proper way to do this will be an answer to my own question...
The way to achieve this is by using WebPack's Chain API.
However, if I did everything correctly, I still see a problem of generated vendor.[hash].js file with some WebPack module boilerplate. This JS file is also being injected to the index.html template.
Which leads to the same outcome as the attempt of my EDIT #2, except that we're no longer importing our Sass files within main.js
To modify entry points for my purpose of this question, we can do it the following way:
// vue.config.js
module.exports = {
chainWebpack: config => {
config
.entry('app')
.add('./src/assets/styles/app.scss')
.end()
.entry('vendor')
.add('./src/assets/styles/vendor.scss')
.end()
}
}
Note
We're not specifying the app entry JS file, which would be main.js by default, because we're not overriding the current entry point. Instead, we're extending it, so everything works as expected.
UPDATE
Until WebPack resolves this in future major releases, I found a great package - fqborges/webpack-fix-style-only-entries. It solves this issue that I was having and I'd suggest you to use it.
Final configuration would look like this:
const FixStyleOnlyEntries = require('webpack-fix-style-only-entries')
module.exports = {
chainWebpack: config => {
config
.entry('app')
.add('./src/assets/styles/app.scss')
.end()
.entry('vendor')
.add('./src/assets/styles/vendor.scss')
.end()
},
configureWebpack: {
plugins: [
new FixStyleOnlyEntries()
]
}
}
UPDATE #2
After further investigation and use of such configuration for projects, I realized that I had to use !important in styles where I had a need to override anything vendor related.
This is simply because WebPack will inject app, before vendor (both JS and CSS) and it will cause such issue.
Even if we modify the configuration from above and move app entry, below the vendor entry, it will still fail. Reason being, because we're modifying the entry point which already exists by default within vue-cli config. We're adding more entries to the app and we're adding new vendor entry.
To fix this issue of ordering, we must delete the app entirely and then create it ourselves.
const FixStyleOnlyEntries = require('webpack-fix-style-only-entries')
module.exports = {
chainWebpack: config => {
config.entryPoints.delete('app')
config
.entry('vendor')
.add('./src/assets/styles/vendor.scss')
.end()
.entry('app')
.add('./src/main.js')
.add('./src/assets/styles/app.scss')
.end()
},
configureWebpack: {
plugins: [
new FixStyleOnlyEntries()
]
}
}

Server a static pdf - Vue CLI - Webpack - issue

I build a little front thanks to VueCLI (+ Vuetify).
I wanted to render a button where onClick open a new tab with a pdf located in the folder's tree of the project.
I have an error and after hours looking why, it's seems to be a webpack conf to modify.
I finally read this answer on S/O ; Serving static pdf with react webpack file loader
But I got an error saying include: paths -> paths is not defined
I have to admit that I have no clue how webpack works behind the scene so any help would be find.
You probably don't need Webpack for this: you can just put it in your static folder and link to it pdf. If you want to go the Webpack route, put it in your src/assets directory and import it and add it to data object:
import pdf from '../assets/mypdf.pdf'
//...
data: () => ({ pdf })
//...
Then use the link in your component:
<a :href="pdf">pdf</a>
You probably added include: paths to the loader config but you didn't define it, instead of modifying your image loader, add a new one for PDFs:
{
test: /\.(pdf)(\?.*)?$/,
loader: 'url-loader',
options: {
name: utils.assetsPath('[name].[hash:7].[ext]')
}
}
You can change [name].[hash:7].[ext] if you want, say you want to add a pdfs directory in assets instead of using the base assets directory you would use: pdfs/[name].[hash:7].[ext]
