nuxt-assets-paths v0.1.8

🌆 🖇 Nuxt assets paths

Generate icon paths objects and Typescript interface for your assets and static files

Typescript is recommanded for this module usage

You can also check nuxt-typed-router for route names autocomplete

Installation

yarn add -D nuxt-assets-paths

#or
npm install -D nuxt-assets-paths

Configuration

First, register the module in the nuxt.config.[js|ts]

const config = {
  ...,
  modules: [
    'nuxt-assets-paths',
  ]
}

In your nuxt.config

import 'nuxt-assets-paths';

export default {
  assetsPaths: {
    // Options
  },
};

Options:

export interface NuxtAssetsPathsOptions {
  //
  /**
   * Path to where you cant the file to be saved (ex: "./src/models/assets.ts")
   * @default "<srcDir>/__assetsPaths.ts"
   */
  filePath?: string;

  /** Name of the routesNames object in the generated file (ex: "routesTree")
   * @default "assetsPaths"
   * */
  pathsObjectName?: string;

  /**
   * Enables static files paths generation
   * @default true */
  staticPaths?: boolean;
}

Exemple:

import 'nuxt-assets-paths';

export default {
  assetsPaths: {
    filePath: 'src/models/__assetsPaths.ts',
  },
};

Usage in Vue/Nuxt

- assetsPaths global object

At build , the module will create a file with the global object of the assets paths inside.

Usage

Given this structure

├── assets
    ├── icons
        ├── actions
            ├── done.png
            ├── done.svg
        ├── home.svg
    └── images
        ├── background.svg
        ├── flower.webp
└── ...

The generated file will look like this

export const assetsPaths = {
  icons: {
    actions: {
      done_png: '~assets/icons/actions/done.png',
      done_svg: '~assets/icons/actions/done.svg',
    },
    home: '~assets/icons/home.svg',
  },
  images: {
    background: '~assets/images/background.svg',
    flower: '~assets/images/flower.webp',
  },
};
export type AssetsPaths =
  | '~assets/icons/actions/done.png'
  | '~assets/icons/actions/done.svg'
  | '~assets/icons/home.svg'
  | '~assets/images/background.svg'
  | '~assets/images/flower.webp';

You can now just import it

<template>
  <img :src="assetsPaths.actions.done_svg" />
</template>

import { assetsPaths } from '~/models/assetsPaths.ts';

export default {
  data: () => ({
    assetsPaths,
  }),
};

And type your component props (Volar recommanded in VSCode)

import { Proptype } from 'vue';
import { AssetsPaths } from '...yourPath/__assetsPaths';

export default defineComponent({
  name: 'Image',
  props: {
    src: { type: String as PropType<AssetsPaths> },
  },
});

Advanced usage (for Typescript users)

Create a plugin nuxt-assets-paths.ts, and register it in your nuxt.config.js

import { assetsPaths } from '...your file path';

export default (ctx, inject) => {
  inject('assets', assetsPaths);
};

Then create shims a file in ~/shims/nuxt.d.ts

import { assetsPaths } from '...your file path';

declare module 'vue/types/vue' {
  interface Vue {
    $assets: typeof assetsPaths;
  }
}

You will now have $assets exposed in all your component without importing it and it will be typed automaticaly!

<template>
  <img :src="$assets.actions.done_svg" />
</template>
