VueBridgeJs

A Bridge to expose Routes and Variables from multipage applications. Currently developed for Laravel to be user in conjuction with the php package LaravelVueBridge (https://github.com/ianrothmann/LaravelVueBridge)

Installation

npm install vuebridge --save-dev

To import the shared laravel routes, use the following plugin:

import {VueBridgeRoutes,VueBridge} from 'vuebridge/vuebridge';
Vue.use(VueBridgeRoutes);

To start a root vue component, use VueBridge.VueRoot:

const App = VueBridge.VueRoot({
    store,
    el: '#app',
    data : {

    },
    mounted(){
      

    },
    methods: {

    }
});

Root App Page mixins

Create a mixin on any page page:

const viewMixin = {
...
};

This mixin will automatically be added to the Root Vue instance on page load.

Laravel Mix

If it is being used with Laravel, you can use the mix plugin to automatically push your view mixins through the laravel mix pipeline for transpilation etc.

In webpack.mix.js,

const vueBridge = require('VueBridgeJs/vuebridge-webpack');
vueBridge.mixViews(src,dest);

By default src is located in resources/assets/js/views/ and dest public/js/views/.

More information on view mixins can be found in the LaravelVueBridge component's readme.

Routes

Routes will be available as VueResource resources. Components can access:

this.$routes.route_name(data).then(...);

For more information see VueResource resource documentation here: https://github.com/pagekit/vue-resource/blob/develop/docs/resource.md

The route actions may also be accessed through this.$routeActions

VeeValidate Integration

VueBridge now requries VeeValidate. It automatically installs the server validator. You can use it by specifying the route name and the column name to send the value as.

• Example: server:{route_resource_name},{column_name}

<rw-input v-validate="'required|email|server:unique_email,email'" label="Email"></rw-input>

On the server side (Laravel):

 web.php
 Route::get('/examples/rocketforms/unique_email/{code}', 'Examples\ExampleController@unique_email')->name('unique_email');
 
 Controller:
 public function unique_email($code){
      return ['valid'=>false,'data'=>'The field is invalid. I am the server. You sent: '.$code];
 }

You have to return an array with valid=>true/false and the message in data.

Exposed Variables

If a Vuex store is used, exposed variables could be accessed through

$store.state.server.variable_name

If Vuex is not used, it will be available in the Root Vue component as this.server.
