Vue components

This repo contains the various Vue.js components that Nextcloud uses for its internal design and structure. It provides standardized UI elements for building Nextcloud app frontends with Vue.js.

Documentation

A list of available components with examples to try out is available in the documentation.

Getting started

App example

If you want to check a real live example of a nextcloud app that uses this library, you can head over to https://github.com/skjnldsv/vueexample/ We will try to maintain this repository the best we can, but some example might be obsolete. Always check this repository documentation.

Install the library

npm i --save @nextcloud/vue

Usage

To use a component, just import it:

import { AppNavigation } from '@nextcloud/vue'

Depending on which components you use, you might want to only import individual (separately bundled) components:

import Avatar from '@nextcloud/vue/dist/Components/Avatar'

Development setup

If you want to work on improving the components it’s best to run the latest code and link it to your local Nextcloud installation:

1. Install the dependencies with npm ci
2. Build the components every time you do changes: npm run build
3. Connect it to your local Nextcloud development setup:
   • In this repository do npm link
   • In the repository of an app do npm link @nextcloud/vue (you need to re-link any time you do npm ci in the app)
4. Then build the app with: npm run build (or watch for changes with npm run watch)

Styleguide

When developing new components or extending compnents, make sure to also have some bits of related documentation like examples, where applicable. To test components and the documentation in that context, you can run npm run styleguide to run a local server that serves the style guide with all the components.

Using vue-devtools in Firefox

If you want to use vue-devtools in Firefox, you need to patch your nextcloud instance as follow:

diff --git a/lib/public/AppFramework/Http/ContentSecurityPolicy.php b/lib/public/AppFramework/Http/ContentSecurityPolicy.php
index 3a9ab8f8c1..4bc2b4a4d0 100644

        protected $allowedScriptDomains = [
                '\'self\'',

Releasing a new version

• Pull the latest changes from master or stableX;
• Checkout a new branch with the tag name (e.g v4.0.1): git checkout -b v<version>;
• Run npm version patch --no-git-tag-version (npm version minor --no-git-tag-version if minor). This will return a new version name, make sure it matches what you expect;
• Commit, push and create PR;
• Add the change log content from the 'Changelog' action on Github to CHANGELOG.md;
• Commit and push;
• Get your PR reviewed and merged;
• Create a release on github with the version as tag (e.g v4.0.1) and add the changelog content as description (https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-vue/releases);
