Try the demo app. It works with data.kitware.com.
npm install @girder/components
# or
yarn add @girder/components
VueCLI is required for building applications with Girder web components. However, a few additional packages must still be manually installed:
npm install -D sass sass-loader@^7.3.1 vue-cli-plugin-vuetify vuetify-loader
# or
yarn add -D sass sass-loader@^7.3.1 vue-cli-plugin-vuetify vuetify-loader
Note: If you are building with custom webpack (without vue-cli-service), you should follow Vuetify’s Webpack install instructions
Encapsulating the configuration in another file (typically src/plugins/girder.js
) is a good practice.
/* src/plugins/girder.js */
import Vue from 'vue';
import Girder, { RestClient } from '@girder/components/src';
// Install the Vue plugin that lets us use the components
Vue.use(Girder);
// This connects to another server if the VUE_APP_API_ROOT
// environment variable is set at build-time
const apiRoot = process.env.VUE_APP_API_ROOT || 'http://localhost:8080/api/v1';
// Create the axios-based client to be used for all API requests
const girderRest = new RestClient({
apiRoot,
});
// This is passed to our Vue instance; it will be available in all components
const GirderProvider = {
girderRest,
};
export default GirderProvider;
Reference the configuration from your application initialization (typically src/main.js
):
/* src/main.js */
import GirderProvider from '@/plugins/girder';
import { vuetify } from '@girder/components/src';
// ...
new Vue({
provide: GirderProvider,
// Import and use vuetify config from girder/components without modification
// See below for how to inject your own config
vuetify,
// ...
}).$mount('#app');
Components should be imported by name from @girder/components/src/components
, as this location will be stable across releases. For instance:
import { Upload as GirderUpload } from '@girder/components/src/components'; // Good
import GirderUpload from '@girder/components/src/components/Upload.vue'; // Unsafe -- may move in future
Since Girder web components uses Vuetify, your application must provide v-app
and v-content
containers at some ancestor level.
For example, to create a login / registration widget in src/App.vue
:
<!-- src/App.vue -->
<template>
<v-app>
<v-content>
<h1>Welcome {{ currentUserLogin }}</h1>
<GirderAuthentication register />
</v-content>
</v-app>
</template>
<script>
import { Authentication as GirderAuthentication } from '@girder/components/src/components';
export default {
components: {
GirderAuthentication,
},
// Injecting is not necessary to use the component,
// but is required to access the results of API calls
inject: ['girderRest'],
computed: {
currentUserLogin() {
return this.girderRest.user ? this.girderRest.user.login : 'anonymous';
},
},
};
</script>
See the demo app for a more comprehensive example.
If your downstream application is also using Vuetify and needs to pass additional configuration options, it must be careful to coordinate with Girder web components.
Additional Vuetify configuration should inherit from Girder web components’ own configuration:
import { merge } from 'lodash';
import { vuetifyConfig as girderVuetifyConfig } from '@girder/components/src/utils';
const appVuetifyConfig = merge(girderVuetifyConfig, {
icons: {
values: {
myCustomIcon: 'mdi-custom-icon'
}
}
});
Note: You must use the mdi icon pack. Icon packs cannot be mixed.
import Vuetify from 'vuetify/lib';
new Vue({
provide: GirderProvider,
vuetify: new Vuetify(appVuetifyConfig),
}).$mount('#app');
Note: Girder web components imports a-la-carte vuetify/lib
, so you should do the same to avoid building duplicate dependencies into your artifacts.
It’s not necessary to install Girder web components yourself, you can import the prebuilt bundle into your page by including the following tags:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue/dist/vue.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@girder/components"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/@girder/components/dist/girder.css">
This will expose all the library’s components under the global variable girder
, e.g. girder.components.Upload
.
Note: If importing this library’s UMD bundle via a <script>
tag, the incantation for installing the Vue plugin is slightly different:
Vue.use(girder.default);
# Project Setup
yarn
# Compile and hot-reload for development
yarn serve
# Build the library for production
yarn build
# Lint and fix source code
yarn lint
# Run unit tests
yarn test:unit
To build the demo app against an external Girder API, set the VUE_APP_API_ROOT
environment variable. For example:
export VUE_APP_API_ROOT=https://data.kitware.com/api/v1
yarn serve
This variable value defaults to http://localhost:8080/api/v1
for normal development (which assumes the developer has a local instance of the Girder API server running). When running against your own instance of the Girder API server, make sure to set CORS accordingly.
If your app injects media dynamically into the page using img
or video
elements that load from Girder, there are several requirements.
authenticateWithCredentials
option in the GirderRest constructor.*, http://localhost:8080, https://myapp.domain.com
The demo app is automatically deployed to https://gwc.girder.org
Any contributor can request an update to the published npmjs version by changing the version string in package.json
and opening a pull request. Our CI runner will detect the change and publish on merge. Version update PRs should generally happen independently of feature PRs.
