How can I use VueJS plugins if I don't use any Javascript Package Managers (NodeJS, NPM)?
I'm building an app made from a Bootstrap template and Server Side framework in Coldfusion (CFWheels).
I wanted to use some of VueJS's functionality such as two-way data-binding, easier integration of animation using animate.css, etc. I included it via
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue"></script>
However, I can't use NPM as the app will be continually be improved and maintained in production.
I wanted to use some VueJS plugin such as VueJS typeahead.
When I include the script, and try the documentation, there are errors in the Javascript like being unable to import, export module, require. I think these are modern Javascript coding style that are not recognized in my setup because I didn't use the NPM and require those polyfills.
Is there a way that I can make those VueJS plugins work? Or if I can just include the polyfills needed and proceed with the plugin documentations so the browser will understand those new JS terms without using NPM or other Javascript Package Manager.

-Hello I am new in Vue, I am building VueJS application in SPA with SFC, I was wondering if there is any way to see html changes without rebuild the application again, changes in all file reflect immediately but changes in html and css required execute npm run dev again.
I use Vue3, js and bootstrap only, I am not using nodejs or typescript.
I need some way to make my changes reflect on html after saving file with out rebuilding the application.
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?
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.
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.
Is my site / app going to work slower if I just import Vue via <script>?
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.
Is it possible to use npm modules with React Native projects directly, like one uses them within a React project by npm install <module-name>?
Of course I mean modules that can be used with a React app, that is front-end ones that will be run in the browsers JS runtime but not in the nodejs or iojs runtime as a React Native app does not run in the nodejs or iojs runtime.
Well, it's quite opposite. React Native actually runs within io.js runtime so most pure javascript modules for node will work. On the other hand most front-end modules written for React.js will not work for React-Native.
React Native does not use HTML DOM nor CSS as we know it from the web. It replaces the CSS/HTML DOM with the native view representation. So any front-end packages that are supposed to use HTML and be displayed in browser will not work.
On the other hand, any modules that are pure javascript and run within node.js/io.js are perfectly OK to be run in react-native.
For example, I am quite sure that Facebook uses their 'relay' data access library in their react-native apps (it's a javascript library that efficiently communicates over Facebook's Open Graph API and allows to access Facebook user's data).
The way to do it is the same as in other node.js/io.js apps. Simply run
npm install module --save
and you are done (package.json will be automatically update with the dependency for the module). Then you can use the package as usual.
