VUE-POLAR / Statemanager

#####V1.0.2 #####Typescript required

The "Vue-polar / middleware" is an extension of "vue-router". This package adds the addition to implement middleware classes in a neat typescript way.

How do I get set up?

#####Usage with yarn yarn add @vue-polar/middleware

#####Usage with npm npm i @vue-polar/middleware

#####Dependencies

• "vue": "^2.6.11",
• "vue-router": "^3.1.5" #####Dev Dependencies
• "typescript": "~3.7.5", #####ESlint Configuration
• "@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any": "off", #####Usage When you first setup "@vue-polar/middleware" you need to add the following lines to the bottom of your "@/routes/index.ts" just above the export

//Inject the router
MiddlewareRouter.setRouter(router);

//Here you will be able to register the middleware.
//You'll instantiate your middleware class and define how important it is
//The importance goes from 0 as not very important to higher as very important
//
//So this middleware is not that important
//MiddlewareRouter.register(new ExampleAfterMiddleware(),0);
//
//But this one is very important
//MiddlewareRouter.register(new ExampleBeforeMiddleware(),10);

//Call router functions
MiddlewareRouter.enable();

There are 2 types of Middleware: After and Before. In this package we define the difference by adding a Generic Type to the interface

Here is how that looks like:

//Extends the MiddlewareContract with the AfterMiddleware GenericType
export class ExampleAfterMiddleware implements MiddlewareContract<AfterMiddleware>{

    //With middleware groups we can filter for which routes we need to run this middleware
    getMiddlewareGroups(): Array<string> {
        return ['someGroup'];
    }

    //because we are using the generic type after middleware
    //the class now expects you to create a call property with the exact implementation the vue router needs
    //in this case being:
    call: AfterMiddleware = (to, from) => {
        //asd
    }
}

//Below you will find an example for the Before version of a middleware

//Extends the MiddlewareContract with the BeforeMiddleware GenericType
export class ExampleBeforeMiddleware implements MiddlewareContract<BeforeMiddleware>{
    
    //With middleware groups we can filter for which routes we need to run this middleware
    getMiddlewareGroups(): Array<string> {
        return ['someGroup'];
    }


    //because we are using the generic type before middleware
    //the class now expects you to create a call property with the exact implementation the vue router needs
    //in this case being:
    call: BeforeMiddleware = (to, from, next) => {
        return true;
    }
}

Now last but not least you need to know how to create a route that responds to these middlewares:

//we're using the default route system from vue-router
//the only difference is that we add a meta property
//This property is called 'middlewareGroups' and expects an array of middlewareGroup names
//Yes, These are the same as the ones you define in the 'getMiddlewareGroups()' method
{
    path: "/account",
    name: "account",
    component: Account,
    meta:{
      middlewareGroups: [
          'auth'
      ]
    }
}
