Vue Component Library

For Vue 3

This project skeleton was created to help people get started with creating their own Vue component library using:

• Vue (V3)
• Rollup
• TypeScript

It features:

• Storybook to help you create and show off your components
• Jest enabling testing of your Vue components

Read my blog post about why and how I created this project skeleton ▸

Check out this CodeSandbox to see the component library in action ▸

Development

Testing

npm run test

Building

npm run build

Storybook

To run a live-reload Storybook server on your local machine:

npm run storybook

To export your Storybook as static files:

npm run storybook:export

Publishing

Hosting via NPM

First, make sure you have an NPM account and are logged into NPM using the npm login command.

Then update the name field in package.json to reflect your NPM package name in your private or public NPM registry. Then run:

npm publish

The "prepublishOnly": "npm run build" script in package.json will execute before publish occurs, ensuring the build/ directory and the compiled component library exist.

Usage

Let's say you created a public NPM package called harvey-vue-component-library with the SampleComponent component created in this repository.

First, install the component library:

npm i --save harvey-vue-component-library

Next, the component library's peerDependencies must be installed:

npm i --save vue@^3.0.0 vue-class-component@^8.0.0

Usage of the component will be:

<template>
  <SampleComponent
    headingText="Hello world!"
    bodyText="Made with love by Harvey"
  />
</template>

<script>
import { SampleComponent } from "harvey-vue-component-library";

export default {
  name: "App",
  components: {
    SampleComponent: SampleComponent,
  },
};
</script>
);

export default App;
