VueJS for Blacklight

See a demo usage of this library at https://github.com/projectblacklight/blacklight-vue-demo

Getting started:

The first step is to create a project using Vue JS CLI.

Then add sass support:

yarn add sass-loader node-sass

Then add routes. In main.js add the following:

import Blacklight from 'blacklight-vue'
import BlacklightRoutes from 'blacklight-vue/src/routes'
import VueRouter from 'vue-router'
import Home from './components/Home.vue'
 
Vue.use(Blacklight)
Vue.use(VueRouter)
 
// Push your own "Home" page into the routes.
BlacklightRoutes.push({ path: '/', name: 'home', component: Home })
const router = new VueRouter({
  routes: BlacklightRoutes
})
 
// Add address to the API server
Vue.http.options.root = 'http://demo.projectblacklight.org'
Vue.http.options.headers = {
  Accept: 'application/json'
}
 
new Vue({
  router,
  render: h => h(App)
}).$mount('#app')

Then in App.vue add the following to the template:

<div id="app">
  <vue-progress-bar></vue-progress-bar>
  <router-view></router-view>
</div>

And components/Home.vue could look like this:

<template>
  <div class="hello">
    <Search />
  </div>
</template>
 
<script>
 
import Search from 'blacklight-vue/src/components/Search'
 
export default {
  name: 'Home',
  components: {
    Search
  }
}
</script>

Finally, if you want to use bootstrap, install it. I used these directions: https://medium.com/@BjornKrols/integrating-and-customising-bootstrap-4-in-vue-js-cbc29ba7688e But all you need to do is:

yarn add bootstrap

and then change the styles in src/App.vue to be:

<style lang="scss">
@import '~bootstrap/scss/bootstrap.scss';
@import '~blacklight-vue/scss/blacklight.scss';
</style>

Install dependencies

npm install

Configure

You can set the title field to use by doing:

Vue.prototype.$titleField = 'title_display'
