@opencdms/helloworld v0.1.0

opencdms-helloworld

Sample web component to be used in the opencdms application shell.

How to use

1. Clone the opencdms-app-shell
2. Install the web component npm i opencdms-helloworld
3. Create a view page in src/views where the component would be rendered in. An example has been done in src/views/CustomElementDemo.vue.
4. Create a route entry in src/routes for the page created in step 3 above.
5. Create a registry entry in src/registry.json for the page created above. Set the display to true to include the page in side navigation bar.

6. Launch the application. (npm run serve)

How to make yours

To create your own component using vuejs.

1. Use vue cli to create a Vue 3 project where the web component would be built.
2. Define the component or page you want to export as a web component.
3. You do not need the src/App.vue file. Delete it and also remove the contents of main.js file.
4. Import the component into src/main.js and define your component like so:

import { defineCustomElement } from 'vue';
// Import the component or page to be rendered as web component
import HelloWorld from './components/HelloWorldComponent.vue';

//Define it as a web component
const element = defineCustomElement(HelloWorld);

// Define the custom tag to be used to render the page. NOTE: The tag must be prefixed with `opencdms-`
customElements.define("opencdms-helloworld",element);

NOTE: The tag must be prefixed with opencdms-

5. Modify your package*.json files for export to npm. (ensure the "name" is unique, delete the "private":false field, add the entrypoint field "main": "src/main.js" to point to the main.js file).

Testing

Before you export to npm, test it with opencdms to ensure it renders properly.

1. Inside the your local custom element package, run npm link to locally publish the package.
2. Clone the opencdms app shell repo and install it running npm install
3. Install the locally published package into the application shell. npm link opencdms-component where opencdms-component is same with the name field in the package.json file of the package.
4. Import the component in any file where you want to render it.

<template>
   <div>
      <opencdms-component></opencdms-component>
    </div>
</template>
import 'opencdms-component'
