vue-plugin-utility

This library is simply meant to offer a standardized way of working with and building plugins for Vue / Nuxt

It provides 2 simple classes:

1. IPluginModule - A basic interface that lays out the structure for working with the PluginUtil class

• install: (vue: VueConstructor) => void
• configureStores: (context: any, options: any) => void

2. PluginUtil - A basic utility class with a static function for installing an IPluginModule

• You MUST NOT include a store in the "install" function, as it will not work with HMR
• Explained here

Building a Component Module

Generally, you will set up your target build as the module Plugin file for component packages The plugin file should be laid out as follows:

import { IPluginModule } from 'vue-plugin-utility'

const install = (vue, context) => {
  // Vue plugin functionality goes here
}

const configureStores = (context, opts) => {
  // Register your stores in the following manner
  // context.store.registerModule(NamespaceKeys.comment, CommentStore)
}

// Create a named version of your export
export const MyPlugin: IPluginModule = {
  install,
  configureStores
}

export default MyPlugin

Consuming a Component Module

Then in your consuming project, you can do the following:

import Vue from 'vue'
import { PluginUtil } from 'vue-plugin-utiltiy'
import { MyPlugin } from 'my-cool-module'

export default async (context) => {
  PluginUtil.configurePlugin(Vue, PhotoPlugin, context)
}
