I'm learning Laravel + Vue by writing an app using Inertia and Mix.
I'm using a bootstrap theme which includes smooth scolling
When I copy the smooth-scroll files to the /public directory and link to it in my app.blade.php view file thenit all works.
But I would like to use the module installed by npm (npm install smooth-scroll).
I've done a file compare on the node_modules/ copy with the copy from the bootstrap theme's dist folder and there's no difference in the contents.
I'm not sure how to actually use the node_modules copy though.
I get an error:
theme.js?id=f3b758e4edb78899ef490cc326d24b7b:372 Uncaught ReferenceError: SmoothScroll is not defined
at theme.js?id=f3b758e4edb78899ef490cc326d24b7b:372:18

at theme.js?id=f3b758e4edb78899ef490cc326d24b7b:1118:12
In my app.blade.php file I have the theme.js added in just before the closing body tag:
<script src="{{ mix('/js/theme.js') }}" defer></script>
I'm not sure how to actually get this page to use the smooth-scroll module.
I've tried to import it in both the app.js and Home.vue files:
import { SmoothScroll } from 'smooth-scroll';
// also tried like this
// import 'smooth-scroll';
I do see the SmoothScroll code in /app.js when I've run npx mix, but no joy.
I am using vue js 2.3.o version.
I want to use plugin for handling modal windows e.g. vue-js-modal (https://github.com/euvl/vue-js-modal).
I add library to my page when I want to use it.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/lib/vuejs/index.js"></script>
I put in a place before I am creating vue instance itself:
import VModal from 'vue-js-modal';
Vue.use(VModal);
var myVue = new Vue({
Then I see:
SyntaxError: import declarations may only appear at top level of a module
What I don't understand what is it about. What is wrong ? How should be this plugin correctly use ?
Thank you
It seems like you're importing the library using script tags. According to vue-js-modal's instructions, you have to use npm install vue-js-modal --save to install and then use import VModal from 'vue-js-modal' to import.
If you're using script tags to import the module, you'll have to write:
<script src="vue-js-modal.js" type="module"></script>
on your HTML page. However, for now, if you want to import modules in your browser, you'll have to do some extra steps to enable this feature. (You can follow the instructions here: link).
What I suggest is check out the demos vue-js-modal made: link, which use Babel and Webpack instead of only importing script tags. Or, when you set up your Vue web app, use their cli tool (link) to set up a starter project and then install vue-js-modal instead.
I have this really simple webpack projects in with I now want to also use bulma a css framework.
I installed the package via npm i bulma and tried to include it inside my app.js-file using the following snipped unsuccessfully:
import bulma from '~bulma/bulma.sass';
I also tried using a specific sass part, which also did not work:
import bulma from '~bulma/sass/base/_all';
Can you help me get this working or maybe point me in the right direction?
You need to update your webpack config file so the sass loader also processes sass files, not only scss files.
Change this line:
test: /\.scss$/, to test: /\.(sass|scss)$/
I have pulled in bulma in my project through :
$ npm install bulma
After that, how can I refer to it in my pages. I really don't know how to work with npm, so please can you guide me. Do I have to refer to it in my js by saying:
import bulma from 'bulma' or require it, I don't know where my files are. That means I don't know where are they located.
You can find the final css build at projectName/node_modules/bulma/css/bulma.css.
Chances are you're using a file loader with webpack and similar. If, for example in a Vue project, you have that, then you can use import syntax:
import 'bulma/css/bulma.css'
within your js. This works because having import [xyz from] 'xyz' will look at projectName/node_modules/xyz, and in the case of a css file, it's as simple as that!
If you do not have that installed, you need to find a way to send it over to the client. Just copy projectName/node_modules/bulma/css/bulma.css into a file, maybe bulma.css, in either an assets or public or whatever you use, then fetch it like you'd fetch any css file within the html: <link rel="stylesheet" href="/bulma.css">
#import "../node_modules/bulma/css/bulma.css";
If you have a main.css file for your project or something similar to that, you can add the above line inside your main.css file. This will import the default bulma.css file located inside your project's path node_modules/bulma/css/ after you have installed bulma via npm.
NOTE: you must include your main.css file( or something similar) inside your index.html as a static import if you chose to go this way.
For that you need to have something like:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/main.css">
I prefer this since bulma is a CSS framework, I think it's best to keep the stylesheets linked with each other.
It's CSS only.
Bulma is a CSS framework.
So you can add it just in your index.html like a normal css link:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="your/bulma/path/bulma.css />
Edit: You have installed bulma through the nodejs environment with the package manager npm so you must have a directory called node_modules and inside the bulma directory.
That is really unevident. If you want to get bulma work with fontawesome5 via npm, minimum working deps (for now) are:
npm i -S bulma #fortawesome/fontawesome #fortawesome/fontawesome-free-solid
then needed to be initialized like this:
import fontawesome from '#fortawesome/fontawesome'
import solid from '#fortawesome/fontawesome-free-solid'
import 'bulma/css/bulma.css'
fontawesome.library.add(solid)
More details can be found here: https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/use-with-node-js
I had the same issue in Vue and in the end I solved it thanks to this link. For Bulma you just need to run:
$ npm install bulma
After npm install, your files should be located under node_modules folder.
For Bulma, check that you have a folder bulma under node_modules, then you can import bulma css framework in your main.js file as follows: import "./../node_modules/bulma/css/bulma.css";
Note: even if on the link I provided they suggest the full path to bulma this is not a good practice as #Omkar pointed out, so I ended up importing bulma as follows: import "bulma/css/bulma.css";
Alternative Answer: CSS Preprocessing
I'm posting a somewhat indirect way to answer the question. I came here looking to see how I could use rendered SASS in my main app.js (in my case, for use in a pug.js template).
The answer is: use a CSS pre-processor. In this minimal example, I'll use node-sass.
0. Install:
npm install node-sass
npm install bulma
1. Create an inherited style
mystyles.scss:
#charset "utf-8";
#import "node_modules/bulma/bulma.sass"; // <--- Check and make sure this file is here after installing Bulma
This will inherit styles from the Bulma installation, but override those styles with what you place here.
2. Build the CSS
app.js:
const nsass = require("node-sass");
const rendered_style = nsass.renderSync({ // <---- This call is synchronous!
file: "./mystyles.scss",
});
Here, node-sass is processing the .scss file into a Result object that has CSS buffer. Note that node-sass has an asynchronous call (sass.render()) as well, if needed.
3. Use the CSS
The buffer containing the CSS is now available at rendered_style.css
console.write(rendered_style.css)
--Notes--
The benefit of the SASS approach is that it unlocks Customization, which is what makes Bulma powerful!
Keep in mind that if app.js is your entry point, the CSS will be rendered every time you run the server. If your styles aren't changing frequently, it may be best to write it out to a file. You can see more on this approach in the Bulma Documenation I adapted this from.
declaring this in the index.html file worked for me.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bulma/0.6.0/css/bulma.min.css">
In React, we have to declare this in the same html file where the root of the app is present.
I'm trying to add the jquery module select2 to my react project which has been created by create-react-app.
I'm running
npm install --save select2
and can see that the dependency is correctly added to my package.json.
Then I add this to a global javascript-file outside my react-code:
$(function () {
$('select').select2();
});
This does not work as the select2 script is not included.
What am I doing wrong? Should I somehow run the jquery code inside my react code? Should I do something specific to include the select2 library?
This might be a very basic problem, but I'm confused how scripts are actually included when running under the framework of create-react-app.
After som more research I realize that I can do the following:
Run 'npm install --save jquery'. This will add jquery to package.json
Add this import statement to my component: 'import $ from 'jquery';'
Any comments or more correct solutions will still be appreciated.
