Vue.js Wrapper for BEEQ

A lightweight utility that wraps BEEQ custom elements ("web components") so they can be seamlessly integrated into Vue applications.

Why is this necessary?

BEEQ can generate Vue component wrappers for your web components. This allows BEEQ components to be used within a Vue 3 application. The benefits of using BEEQ's component wrappers over the standard web components include:

• Type checking with your components.
• Integration with the router link and Vue router.
• Optionally, form control web components can be used with v-model.

Package installation

Tip

Please always refer to the official BEEQ documentation for more information about the installation.

• install the package

npm install @beeq/{core,vue}

Note

Make sure that you have installed the @beeq/core package.

Add BEEQ styles and assets

Import BEEQ styles into your application's main style file:

@import "@beeq/core/dist/beeq/beeq.css";

Tip

BEEQ uses SVG icons and these assets are shipped in a separate folder. You can use the setBasePath method to set the path to the icons. Make sure that your project bundle the icons in a way that they are accessible from the browser.

You can move the icons from the node_modules folder to your assets folder and set the path like this:

// vite.config.js
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import vue from "@vitejs/plugin-vue";
import vueJsx from "@vitejs/plugin-vue-jsx";
import { viteStaticCopy } from "vite-plugin-static-copy";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    vue({
      template: {
        compilerOptions: {
          // treat all BEEQ tags as custom elements
          isCustomElement: (tag) => tag.includes("bq-"),
        },
      },
    }),
    vueJsx(),
    viteStaticCopy({
      targets: [
        {
          src: "./node_modules/@beeq/core/dist/beeq/svg/*",
          dest: "assets/svg",
        },
        // other assets
      ],
    }),
  ],
  // other configurations
});

// main.ts
import { setBasePath } from '@beeq/core';

setBasePath('icons/svg');

But you can also use a different icons library or a CDN:

import { setBasePath } from '@beeq/core';

// Using heroicons library
setBasePath('https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/heroicons@2.1.5/24/outline');

Caution

When using a different icons library, make sure you use the correct icon names provided by the library or the CDN.

Usage

<script setup lang="ts">
const name = ref('John Doe');
</script>

<template>
  <h1>Hello {{ name }}</h1>
  <bq-input
    name="name"
    placeholder="Please type your name..."
    v-model="name"
    @bqClear="name = ''"
  >
    <label slot="label">Your name</label>
    <bq-icon name="user" slot="prefix"></bq-icon>
  </bq-input>
</template>
