vue3-sfc-loader

API | FAQ | Examples | dist | Roadmap

Vue3/Vue2 Single File Component loader.
Load .vue files dynamically at runtime from your html/js. No node.js environment, no (webpack) build step needed.

Key Features

• Supports Vue 3 and Vue 2 (see dist/)
• Only requires Vue runtime-only build
• esm and umd bundles available (example)
• Embedded ES6 modules support ( including import() )
• TypeScript support, JSX support
• Custom CSS, HTML and Script language Support, see pug and stylus examples
• SFC Custom Blocks support
• Properly reports template, style or script errors through the log callback
• Focuses on component compilation. Network, styles injection and cache are up to you (see example below)
• Easily build your own version and customize browsers you need to support

Example

<html>
<body>
  <div id="app"></div>
  <script src="https://unpkg.com/vue@latest"></script>
  <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue3-sfc-loader/dist/vue3-sfc-loader.js"></script>
  <script>

    const options = {
      moduleCache: {
        vue: Vue
      },
      async getFile(url) {
        
        const res = await fetch(url);
        if ( !res.ok )
          throw Object.assign(new Error(res.statusText + ' ' + url), { res });
        return {
          getContentData: asBinary => asBinary ? res.arrayBuffer() : res.text(),
        }
      },
      addStyle(textContent) {

        const style = Object.assign(document.createElement('style'), { textContent });
        const ref = document.head.getElementsByTagName('style')[0] || null;
        document.head.insertBefore(style, ref);
      },
    }

    const { loadModule } = window['vue3-sfc-loader'];

    const app = Vue.createApp({
      components: {
        'my-component': Vue.defineAsyncComponent( () => loadModule('./myComponent.vue', options) )
      },
      template: '<my-component></my-component>'
    });

    app.mount('#app');

  </script>
</body>
</html>

Build your own version

Example: enable IE11 support
npx webpack --config ./build/webpack.config.js --mode=production --env targetsBrowsers="> 1%, last 8 versions, Firefox ESR, not dead, IE 11" check

see package.json "build" script
see browserslist queries

preliminary steps:

1. clone vue3-sfc-loader
2. (install yarn: npm install --global yarn)
3. run yarn install

How It Works

vue3-sfc-loader.js = Webpack( @vue/compiler-sfc + @babel )

more details

1. load the .vue file
2. parse and compile template, script and style sections (@vue/compiler-sfc)
3. transpile script and compiled template to es5 (@babel)
4. parse scripts for dependencies (@babel/traverse)
5. recursively resolve dependencies
6. merge all and return the component
