9.7.0 Setting up Vue.js as a library

Vue.js is a progressive framework that can be used as a simple library or as a fully integrated framework to support larger applications.

Using Vue.js as a library provides developers with a quick and easy way to use many of the Vue features. Caligrafy values the progressive nature of Vue and provides a quick way to scaffold an application structure that allows developers to build Vue applications and connect them with the Caligrafy server-side database.

1. Create a Vue-enabled Caligrafy application

In order to set up Vue.js as library, use caligrafer to run the following command in the terminal:

.bin/caligrafer app <name of your application>

// OR

php caligrafer.php app <name of your application>

Your Vue-enabled app is now created and can be found in the public folder.

2. Run a Vue-enabled Caligrafy application

The Vue-enabled Caligrafy application can be run from your browser at the following address:

http://localhost/apps/<name of your application>
