@leanjs/vue

Installation

If your Vue app is in a monorepo (recommended) execute the following command at the root of your repository:

yarn add -W @leanjs/vue @leanjs/core @leanjs/vue-router

then in the package.json of your Vue app add the following peerDependencies:

"peerDependencies": {
  "@leanjs/core": "*",
  "@leanjs/vue": "*",
  @leanjs/vue-router: "*"
}

If your Vue app is not in a monorepo, then run the following command instead of the above:

yarn add @leanjs/vue @leanjs/core @leanjs/vue-router

Basic usage

createRuntimeBindings

1 . First, you have to create your Vue bindings for your runtime.

// shared-runtime.ts

// You need to configure your runtime
const defaultState = { locale: "en" }; // this is just an example
export const { createRuntime } = configureRuntime(defaultState)({
  onError: () => {},
});

// Then create your Vue bindings for your runtime
export const { useSharedState, HostProvider } =
  createRuntimeBindings(createRuntime);

info

Read @leanjs/core if you have not already created your own createRuntime function

2 . Add a HostProvider to the root of your app tree

<template>
  <div>
    <h1>Nuxt Host</h1>
    <HostProvider :runtime="runtime" origin="http://localhost:56500">
      <NuxtPage />
    </HostProvider>
  </div>
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
  import { createRuntime, HostProvider } from "./runtime-vue";

  const runtime = createRuntime({ context: { appName: "VueShell" } });
</script>

3 . Use your useSharedState in your app, e.g.

<template>
  <h1>Locale is {{ locale }}</h1>
</template>
<script>
  import { useSharedState } from "./runtime-vue";
  export default {
    name: "App",
    setup() {
      return useSharedState("locale");
    },
  };
</script>

useSharedState

Composable to get the current state of one or many shared state properties. Types:

type useSharedState = <
  MyState extends Record<string, any>,
  Prop extends keyof MyState
>(
  ...props:
    | Prop[]
    | {
        prop: Prop;
        loader?: () => MyState[Prop] | Promise<MyState[Prop]>;
        deep?: boolean;
      }
) => Record<Prop, Ref<MyState[Prop]>>;

ComposableApps

To use any of the following composables, you must first call createRuntimeBindings. Read the basic usage section above for more info.

createApp

Arguments:

• App: Component - required
• options: { appName: string } - required.

Create a file called index.ts|js in the src directory where your composable app is. For example: Create a file called index.ts|js in the src directory where your composable app is. For example:

my-monorepo/
├- apps/
│  ├─ vue-host/
├─ composable-apps/
│  ├─ vue-app-1/
│  │  ├─ package.json
│  │  ├─ src/
│  │  │  ├─ VueApp1.vue
│  │  │  ├─ index.ts 👈
├─ package.json

tip

Read the recommended setup in our getting started page if you want to create a similar monorepo structure

Call createApp with the root component of your app, for example:

// my-monorepo/composable-apps/vue-app-1/src/index.ts
import { createApp } from "@leanjs/vue-router";

import RemoteVue1 from "./RemoteVue1.vue";

export default createApp(RemoteVue1, { appName: "RemoteVue1" });

Hello world example of the RemoteVue1 imported above

<template>
  <div>
    <h1>Hello Vue composable-app 1</h1>
  </div>
</template>

Create a file called selfHosted.ts|js in the src directory where your composable app is, for example:

my-monorepo/
├- apps/
│  ├─ vue-host/
├─ composable-apps/
│  ├─ vue-app-1/
│  │  ├─ package.json
│  │  ├─ src/
│  │  │  ├─ VueApp1.vue
│  │  │  ├─ index.ts 👈
│  │  │  ├─ selfHosted.ts 👈
├─ package.json

Export a createRuntime function from the selfHosted.ts|js file. This is the runtime that will be used when the app runs in isolation, meaning without a host.

// my-monorepo/composable-apps/vue-app-1/src/selfHosted.ts
export { createRuntime } from "@my-org/runtime-vue";

info

Read @leanjs/core if you have not already created your own createRuntime function

Components

HostProvider

You have to call createRuntimeBindings to create a HostProvider component before you use it. HostProvider stores in a Vue context values that are shared across apps hosted in the same component tree. Props:

runtime prop - required

Your Lean runtime.

origin prop - optional

Origin where your remote composable apps are. During development, use the address where you run your Lean proxy dev server. Use the address of your CDN in production, e.g. https://cdn.example.com.

Example

<template>
    <HostProvider :runtime="runtime" :origin="origin">
      <NuxtPage />
    </HostProvider>
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
  import { createRuntime, HostProvider } from "./shared-runtime";

  const runtime = createRuntime({
    context: { appName: "AppExample" },
  });

  const origin = process.env.MICROFRONTENDS_ORIGIN;
</script>

Host

It hosts a composable app in a Vue host.
