@rsalianto/git-heatmap-vue

Vue 3 component and composable for displaying GitHub/GitLab contribution heatmaps.

Part of the @rsalianto/git-heatmap family — available for React, Vue, Angular, Vanilla JS, and Next.js.

Installation

npm install @rsalianto/git-heatmap-vue

@rsalianto/git-heatmap-core is not required separately — buildHeatmapData, buildHeatmapDataForYear, and normalizeManual are re-exported directly from this package.

Usage

Register globally (plugin)

// main.ts
import { createApp } from "vue";
import { GitHeatmapPlugin } from "@rsalianto/git-heatmap-vue";
import App from "./App.vue";

createApp(App).use(GitHeatmapPlugin).mount("#app");

<template>
  <GitHeatmap api-url="/api/contributions" @day-click="onDayClick" />
</template>

Import locally

<script setup lang="ts">
import { GitHeatmap } from "@rsalianto/git-heatmap-vue";

function onDayClick(day: { date: string; count: number }) {
  console.log(day);
}
</script>

<template>
  <GitHeatmap api-url="/api/contributions" @day-click="onDayClick" />
</template>

Pass data directly

<script setup lang="ts">
import { GitHeatmap, buildHeatmapData } from "@rsalianto/git-heatmap-vue";

const data = buildHeatmapData([
  { date: "2025-06-01", count: 4 },
  { date: "2025-06-15", count: 9 },
]);
</script>

<template>
  <GitHeatmap :data="data" />
</template>

Display a specific year

<script setup lang="ts">
import { GitHeatmap, buildHeatmapDataForYear } from "@rsalianto/git-heatmap-vue";

const data = buildHeatmapDataForYear(allEntries, 2024);
</script>

<template>
  <GitHeatmap :data="data" />
</template>

Server-side data (Nuxt)

// server/api/contributions.get.ts
import { fetchGitHubContributions } from "@rsalianto/git-heatmap-core/fetchers/github";

export default defineEventHandler(async () => {
  return fetchGitHubContributions({
    username: "your-username",
    token: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN!,
  });
});

<script setup>
const { data } = await useFetch("/api/contributions");
</script>
<template>
  <GitHeatmap :data="data" />
</template>

HeatmapData shape

This is the format your apiUrl endpoint must return:

{
  "totalContributions": 312,
  "source": "github",
  "weeks": [
    {
      "days": [
        { "date": "2025-01-05", "count": 0,  "level": 0 },
        { "date": "2025-01-06", "count": 3,  "level": 1 },
        { "date": "2025-01-07", "count": 8,  "level": 2 },
        { "date": "2025-01-08", "count": 14, "level": 3 },
        { "date": "2025-01-09", "count": 22, "level": 4 },
        { "date": "2025-01-10", "count": 1,  "level": 1 },
        { "date": "2025-01-11", "count": 0,  "level": 0 }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
