building on @paulanthonywilson 's post, in case you weren’t aware you will need to do a couple other things to get Vue.js “working”
This is my naive implementation, there may be more steps for other features and nuances but this will get something showing up in a browser. Using Phoenix 1.4 RC0:
edit package.json:
{
"repository": {},
"license": "MIT",
"scripts": {
"deploy": "webpack --mode production",
"watch": "webpack --mode development --watch"
},
"dependencies": {
"phoenix": "file:../deps/phoenix",
"phoenix_html": "file:../deps/phoenix_html"
},
"devDependencies": {
"@babel/core": "^7.0.0",
"@babel/preset-env": "^7.0.0",
"babel-loader": "^8.0.0",
"copy-webpack-plugin": "^4.5.0",
"css-loader": "^0.28.10",
"mini-css-extract-plugin": "^0.4.0",
"optimize-css-assets-webpack-plugin": "^4.0.0",
"uglifyjs-webpack-plugin": "^1.2.4",
+ "vue": "^2.5.17",
+ "vue-loader": "^15.4.2",
"webpack": "4.4.0",
"webpack-cli": "^2.0.10"
}
}
cd <project root>
cd assets && npm install && node node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --mode development
^^ this should have npm add Vue as a dependency
in <project root>/assets/js/: add and save new file vue-hello-world.js:
import Vue from 'vue'
const helloWorldContainer = document.querySelector("#hello-world-container")
if (helloWorldContainer) {
new Vue({
el: "#hello-world-container",
data() {
return {
msg: "Hello World from Vue!"
}
}
});
}
^^ we will eventually add a hello-world-container div tag
in <project root>/assets/js/: edit file app.js and import/glue your vue-hello-world.js to the global app imports at the bottom:
// We need to import the CSS so that webpack will load it.
// The MiniCssExtractPlugin is used to separate it out into
// its own CSS file.
import css from "../css/app.css"
// webpack automatically bundles all modules in your
// entry points. Those entry points can be configured
// in "webpack.config.js".
//
// Import dependencies
//
import "phoenix_html"
// Import local files
//
// Local files can be imported directly using relative paths, for example:
// import socket from "./socket"
+ import "./vue-hello-world"
Open <project root>/templates/page/index.html.eex and add your div:
+ <div id="hello-world-container" >
+ <h1>{{ msg }}</h1>
+ </div>
<section class="phx-hero">
<h1><%= gettext "Welcome to %{name}!", name: "Phoenix" %></h1>

From the project root run the app: mix phx.server
You should see a webpack log similar to:
[./js/vue-hello-world.js] 275 bytes {./js/app.js} [built]
Open localhost:4000. You should see the “Hello World from Vue!” message.
Finally, get the Chrome Vue plugin:
