vue-factory

A factory/provider/service extension for vue.js

Requirements

• Vue 2.x
• Vue 1.x not tested
• Proxy/Reflect compatible browser for full features

Installation

Install through npm

npm install vue-factory

Include vue-factory in after loading Vue and it will automatically hooked

<script src="/path/to/vue-factory.js'"></script>

Or with Webpack/Browserify projects, add these lines in your main.js

var Vue = require('vue');
var VueFactory = require('vue-factory');

Vue.use(VueFactory);

Useage

1. write a factory Class/function:

   class FactoryExample {
     constructor () {
       this.const = 'not editable'
     }
     echo (something) {
       console.log(something)
     }
     get prop () {
       return 'get: ' + this.value
     }
     set prop (value) {
       this.value = value
     }
   }

   you can use this.$Vue in the factory Class to access the The global Vue API. For example, when working along with vue-resouce, this.$Vue.http is equivalent to Vue.http.

2. register the factory Class:

   Vue.factory.register({
     'example': FactoryExample
   })

3. declare providers that will be injected in the Vue component:

   as in a .vue file

   <script>
   ...
   export default {
      ...
      providers: ['example'],
      ...
   }
   ...
   </script>

4. then, you can access the provider in the component using:

   this.example.echo("ok") // "ok"
   this.example.prop // get: undefined
   this.example.prop = "changed"
   this.example.prop // get: changed

   note that all of the providers are Singletons, if you inject the example provider into other components later, this.example.prop will get changed value.
