INSTALL 💻

Option 1 - Install from NPM

npm install --save @cyrilf/vue-dat-gui

Then the usage is:

import { createApp } from "vue";
import VueDatGui from "@cyrilf/vue-dat-gui";
import "@cyrilf/vue-dat-gui/dist/style.css";

/* your code */
// ...

const app = createApp(App);
app.use(VueDatGui);

app.mount("#app");

Option 2 - Instal via CDN file

In your head tag, include the following code:

<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="https://unpkg.com/@cyrilf/vue-dat-gui@latest/dist/style.css"
/>
<script type="module" lang="ts">
  import {
    createApp,
    computed,
    ref,
  } from "https://unpkg.com/vue@3/dist/vue.esm-browser.js";
  import VueDatGui from "https://unpkg.com/@cyrilf/vue-dat-gui@latest/dist/vue-dat-gui.js";

  createApp({
    /*your code*/
  })
    .use(VueDatGui)
    .mount("#app");
</script>

VERSIONS #️⃣

Vue3

The main branch contains code for Vue3. It's refering to the tags v1.x.

Vue2

The deprecated branch vue2 is for Vue2 support. It's refering to the tags v0.x. You can find the README with all the required information for this version.

USAGE 🖱️

You can always refer to the public/index.html file for the most up-to-date example of how to use it. (keep in mind that this is a demo version using the CDN version of Vue and vue-dat-gui, so it's a bit different than the usage in your app).

The demo page is also available.

In your view:

<div class="app">
  <DatGui
