I want to build a single page with Vue.js 2 and then add it to an existing WordPress website, e.g. as a new page in the menu. How will I do that inside WordPress? There is already an old WordPress site and I'm gonna develop a page/tool with Vue, so when it's finished I want to add it somewhere in the menu of the WordPress site as a new page.
Is it possible? What steps should I follow?
I created a custom template and inside I have a simple div message.
new Vue({
el: "#hello-world-app",
data() {
return {
msg: "Hello World!"
}
}
});
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue/dist/vue.js"></script>
<div id="main-content" class="main-content">
<div id="primary" class="content-area">
<div id="content" class="site-content" role="main">
<div id="hello-world-app">
<h1>{{ msg }}</h1>
</div>
</div><!-- #content -->
</div><!-- #primary -->
</div><!-- #main-content -->
In functions.php I added these:
function my_enqueue_stuff() {
if ( get_page_template_slug() == 'page-surveypage.php' ) {
wp_enqueue_script('vue-dist', 'get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/vue.js, array (), 1.1, true );
wp_enqueue_script('vue-survey', 'get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/survey.js, array (), 1.1, true);
}
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_enqueue_stuff' );
However, when I load the page with the custom template it shows
{{msg}}. Is it wrong that I downloaded the vue script and placed it in the js folder?
I would likely go with a new template in your (child-)theme. If this is just for this one page, then make it a specific page template, named with the slug of the page that will show your Vuejs app. If you'll want to use this on multiple pages, you could make a generic template file that authors can assign to any page they create, or you could wrap your vuejs component/app in a short code. (see the naming conventions of template files)
Once you've decided on a delivery method, then you'll just have to make sure to load the vuejs javascript file created by your bundler, as well as any dependencies that aren't bundled in your app.
Does that help?

I have installed Vue using the latest CLI in to an existing .net mvc projects. My goal is to add components while keeping the existing pages intact.
Is it possible to do something like:
<div id="app">
<MyNewVueComponent></MyNewVueComponent> <!-- insert my vue compoents -->
<p>#Model.someText</p> <!-- keep original .net mvc view content -->
</div>
In my main.js:
new Vue({}).$mount('#app')
This just generates a blank page at the moment.
Using
new Vue({
el: '#app'
})
along with runtimeCompiler: true in vue.config.js did the trick.
I'm working on a Drupal project where we compile the js and sass of the theme with webpack. As we are moving in a near future to other backend(Laravel), and the idea is to use vuejs on front-end. So it seems to us a good idea, in meanwhile, start using vuejs in some pages and components, so we could start learn it about it. I have experience with angular and react but none with vue. I add it vue, the vue-loader, etc, but seems dificult to make it work and I'm not sure which could be the best way to implement/add vuejs in this escenario. Any recomendation or link will we very helpful.
Introduction
Vue is good choice because of two reasons in your case:
It is simplest to learn than Angular and React
It is progressive - it means you can easy use it only in constrained part of your existing project.
If you look at dock of life cycle of Vue instance
https://v2.vuejs.org/v2/guide/instance.html
You will see there are some options of create template and connect it with instance of vue.
a) by "el" option - selecting existing element from dom
b) by template option
including template as a string
selecting template by id of script with type text/x-template
You can use Vue instantly after page load or mount it later so you have flexibility.
Examples
I understood your question is about simplest way to integrate vue with drupal. I think that these examples of use Vue on simple html page will help you.
Simplest way
Simplest way is use el option and load Vue from cdn. ( remember about change cdn to minified on production )
<style>
[v-cloak] {
display: none;
}
</style>
<div id="app" v-cloak>
<h1>{{ heading }}</h1>
</div>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.13/vue.js"></script>
<script>
new Vue({
el: "#app",
data: { heading: "Hello World" }
});
</script>
By using text/x-template
<div id="app"></div>
<script id="app-template" type="text/x-template">
<div>
<h1>{{heading}}</h1>
</div>
</script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.13/vue.js"></script>
<script>
let v = new Vue({
template: `#app-template`,
data: { heading: "Hello World" }
});
v.$mount();
document.querySelector("#app").appendChild(v.$el);
</script>
Situation: I have a view where I'm including a fragment with ng-include. The fragment loads perfectly and works as expected when inside view where controller is defined.
My problem is, that when I want to include external component inside the "ng-include" fragment "myView.html", it doesn't show up. When including it inside the main view where the controller is, it shows up and works as expected.
Main view:
<div ng-controller="MyController">
<div data-ng-include src="'views/myView.html'"></div>
<!-- When loaded here, the component shows up -->
<!-- <div id="componentDiv"></div> -->
</div>
Fragment "myView.html":
<div>
<div id="componentDiv"></div>
</div>
The component is loaded inside the "MyController", where "componentDiv" is the "id" of "div" where the component is placed:
var testObj = new TestObj({"container": "componentDiv"});
Trying to do this to be able to use this fragment with full functionality in several places.
Any ideas or suggestions what to look up or try?
IMHO I think that by saying "...to be able to use this fragment with full functionality in several places" you just answered your question. What you need is to build a custom directive and use it in any place you like.
see directive samples e.g. Angular documentation on directives
I'd like to use two separate layouts for my aurelia app. Difference between them is that one doesn't have a sidebar. Currently I'm using one layout file defined as below:
<template>
<div class="container">
<router-view></router-view>
</div>
</template>
If an active route needs this sidebar to appear I'm just putting it into its view.
What I'd like to achieve is to add another layout that would have this sidebar by default:
<template>
<require from="../common/elements/sidemenu/sidemenu"></require>
<div class="container">
<sidemenu></sidemenu>
<router-view></router-view>
</div>
</template>
So the question is - how to do this? Is it even possible with an aurelia app to have multiple layouts (or master pages, however you call those)?
Use aurelia.setRoot()
You can manually set up your application by specifying a script with configure instructions in your index.html. Typically, this is set to main.
index.html
<body aurelia-app="main">
In this script you can specify a root view model using aurelia.setRoot('root'). If no argument is provided, the convention is to use 'app'.
main.js
aurelia.start().then(() => aurelia.setRoot());
However, you can inject the aurelia object anywhere in your application, and call the setRoot function at any time to load a different root view model.
home.js
#inject(aurelia)
export class HomeViewModel {
constructor(aurelia) {
this.aurelia = aurelia;
}
doStuff() {
this.aurelia.setRoot('withSidebar');
}
}
One common use case for this is having a login page, and I've created a complete template for this use case that you can review, clone, or fork here: http://davismj.me/portfolio/sentry/
My app gets the views from an ajax request by navigation.
So when i click a link in my menu i retrieve all the Html that my view contains.
My javascript is included inside the main template and of course all my calls works.
But once i need for example to create an animated filter gallery inside a specific view, the javascript for that view doesn't work.
This is how i've organized my app:
My template
<!-- !Doctype -->
#include('partials.doctype')
<!-- Menu -->
#include('partials.menu')
<!-- Cont -->
<section id="content-wrapper">
#include('ajax.index')
</section>
<!-- Footer -->
#include('partials.footer')
<!-- Javascript -->
#include('partials.javascript')
</body>
</html>
My Controller (if there's an ajax call i retrieve the view without #extends() and #section(), otherwise i retrieve my full view):
// load page
public function loadPage($page){
return (\Request::ajax()) ? view('ajax.'.$page)->render() : view('pages.'.$page);
}
My views:
For my purpose i've created 2 type of views, one extended and one with only the html i need from my ajax calls.
a) extended, it's inside "pages" folder:
#extends('main')
#section('cont')
#include('ajax.shop')
#stop
b) only html, for ajax calls, inside "ajax" folder:
<div class="content">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row page-title-box">
<h3 class="page-number">N. 67</h3>
<h1 class="page-title">Shop</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I don't understand where to put my javascript for this view if i need to implement an animated filter gallery. I've tried to put javascript inside the view but my app crashed.
Your javascript should be in your public folder in a folder like public/js.
Then in your partials.javascript include your js:
<script src="/js/main.js"></script>
