How to reference style tag element in Vue.js - vue.js

When creating a Single Page Application, I have had the need to reuse CSS as a string.
The need was from a library requiring passing CSS as a string and needing to also use that CSS in the page.
To achieve this, I went through 2 routes, and both failed. Referring to the style tag element should be simple, so I'll focus on this in this issue, but if anyone can solve the other route, please let me know. Regards.
Attempted routes to solve issue:
Reference style tag element. Couldn't get this to work. Even has problems using global querying because of build process destroying ids.
I tried using raw-loader to directly import, but failed. I am using Typescript so tried to import as a string but failed again.

I was able to fix my main goal of reusing the same CSS by using external css in the style tag and importing the css as a string using raw-loader.
import css from !!raw-loader!./my-css.css
...
<style src="./my-css.css">
I still do not know how to get a safe reference to the style tag, but the above solves my issue.
* The reason for the style tag not being easily referenced even via document.querySelector is that the build process seems to strip attributes.

Force Vue to crash when encounter unknown custom element

Currently when importing components from another file to be used inside the template part, if the name of the component is not correct, Vue just gives a warning about this. Is there any way to configure it so that it errors during compilation or building, so that it is easier to do refactoring or moving around components, since in Nuxt, we can enable auto-discovery component, just that we need to include the directory it is in as well as part of the component name. For example, if I have a component named PhoneNumber inside base folder inside components folder, I can use that component directly by using BasePhoneNumber.
I have tried disabling the auto-discovery component in Nuxt, and I got a lot of this unknown custom element as expected. But this only triggers the warning, which I can only see the warning when I'm browsing that page. So there's a big chance of making a mistake where I update the name of the component in one page, but another one in another page is missed

How to get rid of Mismatching childNodes vs. VNodes in NuxtJs [duplicate]

I am using Nuxt.js / Vuejs for my app, and I keep facing this error in different places:
The client-side rendered virtual DOM tree is not matching server-rendered content.
This is likely caused by incorrect HTML markup, for example nesting block-level elements inside <p>, or missing <tbody>.
Bailing hydration and performing full client-side render.
I would like to understand what is the best way to debug this error? Is their a way I can record/get the virtual DOM tree for client and server so I could compare and find where the error lies?
Mine is a large application and manually verifying is difficult.
Partial answer: with Chrome DevTools, you can localize the issue and see exactly what element caused the issue. Do the following (I did that with Nuxt 5.6.0 and Chrome 64.0.3282.186)
Show DevTools in Chrome (F12)
Load the page that causes "the client-side rendered virtual DOM tree..." warning.
Scroll to the warning in DevTools console.
Click at the source location hyperlink of the warning (in my case it was vue.runtime.esm.js:574).
Set a breakpoint there (left-clicking at line number in the source code browser).
Make the same warning to appear again. I'm not saying it is always possible, but in my case I simply reloaded the page. If there are many warnings, you can check the message by moving a mouse over msg variable.
When you found your message and stopped on a breakpoint, look at the call stack. Click one frame down to call to "patch" to open its source. Hover mouse over hydrate function call 4 lines above the execution line in patch. Hyperlink to the source of hydrate would open.
In the hydrate function, move about 15 lines from the start and set a breakpoint where false is returned after assertNodeMatch returned false. Set the breakpoint there and remove all other breakpoints.
Make the same warning to happen again. Now, when breakpoint is hit, execution should stop in the hydrate function. Switch to DevTools console and evaluate elm and then vnode. Here elm seem to be a server-rendered DOM element while vnode is a virtual DOM node. Elm is printed as HTML so you can figure out where the error happened.
For me this error happened cuz get Array list in AsyncData and rendered <tr> tags by v-for, i put v-for codes in <client-only> blocks and problem solved
This error can be really painfull to debug. In order to quickly get the element causing an issue edit node_modules/vue/dist/vue.esm.js and add the following lines :
// Search for this line:
function hydrate (elm, vnode, insertedVnodeQueue, inVPre) {
var i;
var tag = vnode.tag;
var data = vnode.data;
var children = vnode.children;
inVPre = inVPre || (data && data.pre);
vnode.elm = elm;
// Add the following lines:
console.log('elm', elm)
console.log('vnode', vnode)
console.log('inVpre', inVPre)
// ...
You will get in the console the failing node.
There are a lot of ways of fixing this issue, but most of them are not actual fixes, just hacky band-aids. To note a few:
wrap it into <client-only> tags, beware of some important details tho
using a v-show instead of a v-if
trying to hack some lifecycles
etc...
I highly recommend reading this gorgeous article written by Alexander Lichter
https://blog.lichter.io/posts/vue-hydration-error/
He'll explain you that you should diagnose why this happens and fix the actual issue.
Basically each time something is different from what was generated on the server and what is available when done hydrating on the client will cause this error.
Some of which are:
invalid HTML (having a block element inside of a <p>, same goes for an a tag nested into another, etc...)
3rd party scripts messing around with your components
different state on server vs client
any random is risky (new Date() for example)
any page related to authentication
I highly recommend reading the article to understand in Alexandre's own words how to handle this kind of issue. If you're in a hurry you could always use one band-aid fix but try to actually fix the issue for the best performance and to keep the code clean.
I had the same issue as of nuxt version 2.14.0 while implementing vue-particles package. The fix was to surround the tags with no-ssr and it fixed the issue.
EDIT:
Updated variant of the solution (if Nuxt version is above 2.9.0)
<client-only>
<vue-particles>
</vue-particles>
</client-only>
Old solution:
<no-ssr>
<vue-particles>
</vue-particles>
</no-ssr>
Thanks to budden73's answer, I did a little improvement on the debug process.
Open dev tool
click on the warn message, and click on the first line of the warn message, you will be directed to the Sources panel, with a file name vue.runtime.esm.js?xxxx
ctrl+f to search the above file for assertNodeMatch, not the function, but like:
if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
if (!assertNodeMatch(elm, vnode, inVPre)) {
return false
}
}
Add a break point at the line return false
Refresh the page, and the breakpoint will be triggered.
At the right side of the Sources panel, Under Scope->Local, click on the elm element, you will be directed back to the Elements panel.
The above element is the client side rendered element, compare with your code to see the difference.
If you can't find the source of the bug, the brutal way to fix it is using nuxt's <client-only> tag.
Another likely brutal way is described here. Add an isHydrate variable which default is false, set to true in mounted hook, and render the element after the variable set to true.
For Nuxt version above 2.10 it doesn't need to install nothing, just use the default component <client-only> as mentioned https://nuxtjs.org/api/components-client-only/.
Check the previous warning:
In "nuxt": "^2.12.2", You can spot the cause easily from the previous warning.
In my case:
Incorrect
<nuxt-link to="/game42day">
<a>Game For Today</a>
</nuxt-link>
Correct:
<nuxt-link to="/game42day">
Game For Today
</nuxt-link>
If you're rendering a component conditionally with v-if, then you have two options to solve the problem:
The first one is wrapping the element in <no-ssr></no-ssr> tag.
The second approach is replacing v-if with v-show, here is the link to Vue docs.
Turns out, in my case, I had HTML comment tags , which was causing this stupid, annoying error. Took me too long to figure it out but in case it helps someone.
In my case I had to change this:
<v-expansion-panel-header v-text="name" />
to this:
<v-expansion-panel-header>{{ name }}</v-expansion-panel-header>
I also get many errors due to this problem. I list two cases I often encounter, hope can help you.
With vuetify button, when you create a common component, you should use: <v-btn>{{text}}</v-btn>. Example:
<template>
<v-btn
:width="width"
:color="color"
:class="[rounded ? 'rounded-pill' : 'rounded-lg',textColor]"
v-on:click="onClick"
elevation="0"
:outlined="outlined"
:type="type"
:name="name"
:form="form"
:disabled="disabled"
v-bind="$attrs"
>{{ text }}</v-btn>
</template>
Don't use v-html with <p> tag.
Not use: <p v-html='html'></p>.
Use: <div v-html='html'></div>.
Besides, if you use <client-only></client-only>, this problem is definitely solved, but if you need to SEO page or show google ads, it is not good solution.
Ok this is going to sound silly. I tried a bunch of different solutions for about 15 mins such as restarting the server and deleting the .nuxt directory but I was too lazy to use #budden73's big brain solution. What ended up working for me was simply restarting my computer, give it a shot.
What I have found so far from observation is that when you are using third party packages like jQuery (specially), they sometimes inject html tags into the dom. So Vue/Nuxt looses track of the dom tree and starts complaining.
I was having the same problem and after a while I removed all jQuery and replaced jQuery functionality with Vuejs and those error were all gone.
See here for an example of how to deal with integrations (e.g. Google Analytics or FB Pixel) that modify the DOM. Basically create a plugin and exclude from SSR.
https://nuxtjs.org/faq/ga
What about:
extend (config, ctx) {
config.resolve.symlinks = false
}
See this [Vue warn]: The client-side rendered virtual DOM tree is not matching server-rendered content ( Nuxt / Vue / lerna monorepo )
Now that you found the code causing the problem, the first thing you should do is to verify that your markup (possibly coming from an API) is valid. Code like <p><p>Text</p></p> is not valid because a p element doesn’t allow other block elements (like a paragraph tag) inside.
Be aware, that tags are not allowed to have block level elements like <div> or <p> as children. These <span> tags are used default tag for Vue’s transitions though. You can change that though via <Transition tag="div">.
Check if have used any block-level element inside the inline element.
for example: inside , inside
If you have used an HTML table make sure you have used the tag
In my case, I changed my codes from
<p v-html="$md.render(post.content)"></p>
to
<p>{{ $md.render(post.content) }}</p>
In my case this problem was caused by markdownit module, I solved it by changing the html markup used with v-html. I was with <p> at the beginning and I ended with <div>.
I have some <p> in my v-html render (with $md.render()) so take care if you have same problems with different markups.

Can I have additional root elements in a vue.js single file component?

I'd like to use the technique described here to have web workers in a component without having to handle additional files.
However, adding another <script> element seems not to work:
it I add it before the component's script part it doesn't get recognized/found by document.querySelector
if I add it after the component's script part, the component doesn't compile
The only solutions I've found are:
source in a multiline string: ugly, messes up the editor
script inside the template: even uglier, exposes innards
Any better solution out there?

How to make IntelliJ Idea stop warning about certain attributes?

I'm developing a Vue app using UI Kit which implies using various custom attributes like uk-grid, uk-icon, uk-navbar etc (in Vue single file components' templates). For each one, IntelliJ gives me a warning like
Warning:(7, 52) Attribute uk-icon is not allowed here
How can I tell IntelliJ not to do this? Googling the warning haven't brought any sane results which makes me think there's no ready-to-use package for this (for this particular UI Kit), so the question is: how to make Idea not to warn about a custom list of attributes? But I'll be glad to be wrong and if there is a better solution, please let me know.
Update: like lena has suggested, pressing alt+enter suggests helpful options, including adding attribute to the list of custom attributes. However, wildcard suggestion didn't work for me: the below screenshot illustrates settings that make v-localize attrbute be recognized, but uk--prefixed attribute are still highlighted with warning:
You can add uk-* attributes to Custom HTML tag attributes list in HTML | Unknown HTML tag attribute inspection; the easiest way to do this is using Add to custom HTML attributes quickfix available on Alt+Enter:
Note that IDEA recognizes Vuikit components and directives out of the box - did you consider using it instead of pure UIKit?

Compile string with custom elements

I have an Aurelia application in which I'm trying to build a CMS component. This component will load data from the server and this data mainly contains slug, title and content fields.
I also have several global components defined in my application, and I want to be able to use those components in the server so when I pull that data my CMS component is able to transform/compile those custom elements.
An example would be a tab component. I have the tab component with this structure defined:
<tab-panel>
<tab title="First"></tab>
<tab title="Second"></tab>
</tab-panel>
The CMS component will contain a content property which I use to pass a string like this: '<tab-panel><tab title="First"></tab><tab title="Second"></tab></tab-panel>'
The component needs to compile that string and render it in its view. I've checked the enhance API, but it doesn't worked, at least for me. Any other suggestion to dynamically compile/render custom elements??
Thanks a lot in advance.
I've found the solution. I've used a compose element and InlineViewStrategy and it worked well, the components are shows and binding works as expected.
If your custom elements are registered globally using globalResources you can actually using the TemplatingEngine to dynamically insert content into the DOM and then compile it after-the-fact. This blog post goes into detail in how you can do it.
However, I would use this as a last resort. As is mostly always the case, there are much better ways to do something in Aurelia. Using the <compose> element is a great way to dynamically render content in your Aurelia applications and should always be the first port of call.
