vue-highlightjs

This project is superseded by the official Highlight.js Vue plugin:

• https://github.com/highlightjs/vue-plugin
• https://www.npmjs.com/package/@highlightjs/vue-plugin

Vue.js syntax highlighting made easy, using highlight.js.

Quickstart

Installation

Simply install the npm package vue-highlightjs:

npm install --save vue-highlightjs

Using vue-highlightjs

In your main JavaScript file (eg. main.js):

// Import Vue and vue-highlgihtjs
import Vue from 'vue'
import VueHighlightJS from 'vue-highlightjs'
import 'highlight.js/styles/default.css' // or other highlight.js theme

// Tell Vue.js to use vue-highlightjs
Vue.use(VueHighlightJS)

In your template, in order to highlight javascript code:

<!-- If your source-code lives in a variable called 'sourcecode' -->
<pre v-highlightjs="sourcecode"><code class="javascript"></code></pre>

<!-- If you want to highlight hardcoded source-code -->
<pre v-highlightjs><code class="javascript">const s = new Date().toString()</code></pre>
