The site I'm currently working on is built in Drupal 7. I have one form that requires user input so I'm attempting to build it with VueJS. The form is contained all within one template file (.tpl.php) and all the content is provided in this template file or via the VueJS Javascript (nothing is coming from the CMS).
The issue I have is that the Vue components are not rendering on the front-end, but when I copy the code into a JSFiddle they do, so I'm guessing it is an issue with the interaction between VueJS and Drupal. Here is a screenshot of my markup when inspecting...
Here is the code from the .tpl.php file...
<div id="app">
<form>
<div>
<label for="year">Per Year</label>
<input type="radio" name="frequency" id="year" value="year" v-model="frequency" checked>
<label for="month">Per Month</label>
<input type="radio" name="frequency" id="month" value="month" v-model="frequency">
</div>
</form>
<ul class="plans">
<template id="plan-component">
<h2 class="plan-name">{{ name }}</h2>
<h2 class="plan-cost">{{ price }}</h2>
<h2 class="plan-tagline">{{ tagline }}</h2>
Choose this plan
</template>
<li>
<plan-component :frequency="frequency"
name="Basic"
tagline="Basic tagline"
price-yearly="Free"
price-monthly="Free"
></plan-component>
</li>
<li>
<plan-component :frequency="frequency"
name="Rec"
tagline="Rec tagline"
price-yearly="3"
price-monthly="4"
></plan-component>
</li>
<li>
<plan-component :frequency="frequency"
name="Team"
tagline="Team tagline"
price-yearly="4"
price-monthly="5"
></plan-component>
</li>
<li>
<plan-component :frequency="frequency"
name="Club"
tagline="Club tagline"
price-yearly="5"
price-monthly="6"
></plan-component>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
..and the code from my JS file...
Vue.component('plan-component', {
template: '#plan-component',
props: ['frequency', 'name', 'tagline', 'priceYearly', 'priceMonthly'],
computed: {
'price': function() {
if (this.frequency === 'year') {
return this.priceYearly;
} else {
return this.priceMonthly;
}
}
},
methods: {
makeActivePlan() {
// We dispatch an event setting this to become the active plan
this.$dispatch('set-active-plan', this);
}
}
});
new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: {
frequency: 'year',
activePlan: {name: 'no', price: 'You must select a plan!' }
},
events: {
'set-active-plan': function(plan) {
this.activePlan = plan;
}
},
});
And here is the JSFiddle which outputs the components correctly - https://jsfiddle.net/2xgrpLm6/
What browser are you using? <template> tags are not supported in IE.
Another idea is to make sure you are never using fragment components (meaning wrap everything inside your template with a div like so:
<template id="foobar">
<div>
CONTENT HERE
</div>
</template>
Lastly, have you turned on Vue debug mode? Before you instantiate your Vue instance, set Vue.config.debug = true and see if you get console errors then.
Try moving the <template id="plan-component">...</template> code outside of the Vue instance. I.e., such that it is not contained within <div id="app">...</div>.
This has solved a similar problem for me in the past, though I'm not sure if it applies here.
For anyone having a similar issue, the solution was simple. After Jeff suggested turning on Vue debug mode (and downloading the Dev version of Vue JS instead of minified - https://vuejs.org/guide/installation.html) the console gave the error [Vue warn]: Cannot find element: #app.
The issue was that Drupal was loading my scripts in the <head>, before <div id="app"> was loaded in the DOM. As such #app couldn't be found. After outputting the scripts before the closing <body> tag all was sorted. See here for more information [Vue warn]: Cannot find element

I'm new to vue and strugling with some props and attributes.
I have a vue application where the main app is calling three different components:
Navbar,
Sidebar
MapContainer
In Navbar user will fill a selector with information about city and states. After user presses search, the list of results will then show up in the Sidebar menu.
Sidebar itself is a simple component carrying only a router-view for it's children components which are Results and Details
Results will receive the result of the search performed in the Navbar component. When user clicks any item in the Results component, Sidebar will then load Details taking the place of Results with detailed information about that place.
the problem is that the data used to make the request(city and states) comes from the first component navbar. I'm passing this data to sub-components using vue-router params option. When component Results gets unmounted, I lost all the data that was passed, even adding a Watch couldn'd fix the problem and thus can't return back to the previous page. Even adding a Watch couldn'd fix the problem. What's the proper way to handle data across components that area unmounted?
Navbar.vue
<template>
<div class="navbar">
<div class="logo">

<div class="middle">
<div class="flex-selectors">
<div class="navbar-options">

<option v-for="state in states" :value="state.state_id" :key="state">
{{ state.state }}
</option>
</select>
<select v-model="city_id" class="main-selectors">
<option v-for="city in cities" :value="city.city_id" :key="city">

</select>
</div>
<div class="search">
<button #click="seach">

What's the proper way to handle data across components that are
unmounted?
You cannot access data from an unmounted component.
When multiple components need to access or modify the same data, a good option to look into is state management. Pinia is the new official library recommendation for state management.
Instead of passing data through vue-router params, create a store for it. Set results of your search query from Navbar component and access it in Results component. When Results component gets unmounted, you won't lose the data.
I'm struggling with fullpage.js in Meteor.
When I add a button inside a template, the Template.templatename.events function does not fire on event.
For example:
Template HTML (messages.html)
<template name="messages">
<ul>
{{#each mess}}
<li>{{ messContent}}</li>
{{/each}}
<button class="addMessage">Add Message!</button>
</ul>
</template>
Template JavaScript (messages.js)
Template.messages.helpers({
mess: function(){
return Messages.find();
}
});
Template.messages.events({
'click .addMessage' : function(event){
console.log("clicked")
}
})
Main HTML
<head>
<title>fulltest</title>
</head>
<body>
{{> full}}
</body>
<template name="full">
<div id="fullpage">
<div class="section active">
<h1>First slide</h1>
{{> messages}}
</div>
<div class="section">
<h1>Second slide</h1>
</div>
</div>
</template>
My fullpage initialisation:
Template.full.rendered = function(){
$('#fullpage').fullpage();
}
If I remove the fullpage initialisation then the click event gets logged. Still new at Meteor, I didn't manage to grasp what's going wrong here.
All help much appreciated,
Joris
Use delegation or use verticalCentered:false and scrollOverflow:false.
From the fullPage.js FAQs:
My javascript/jQuery events don't work anymore when using fullPage.js
Short answer: if you are using options such as verticalCentered:true or overflowScroll:true in fullPage.js initialization, then you will have to treat your selectors as dynamic elements and use delegation. (by using things such as on from jQuery). Another option is to add your code in the afterRender callback of fullpage.js
Explanation: if you are using options such as verticalCentered:true or overflowScroll:true of fullPage.js, your content will be wrapped inside other elements changing its position in the DOM structure of the site. This way, your content would be consider as "dynamically added content" and most plugins need the content to be originally on the site to perform their tasks. Using the afterRender callback to initialize your plugins, fullPage.js makes sure to initialize them only when fullPage.js has stopped changing the DOM structure of the site.
I'm trying to get the following behavior for a certain template:
<body onload="someInitFunction();">
Let's say i have the following markup (i'm using mrt router, not iron-router, for {{renderPage}}):
// Main Template
<head>
<title>meteorite-knowviz</title>
</head>
<body>
{{> header}}
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
{{renderPage}}
</div>
</div>
{{> footer}}
</body>
That renderPage is the secondTemplate:
<template name="secondTemplate">
{{#if currentUser}}
<div class="col-md-2">
<div class="list-group">
<a class="list-group-item" href="{{render thirdTemplate please...}}">Third Template</a>
<a class="list-group-item" href="{{render fourthTemplate please...}}">Fourth Template</a>
</div>
</div>
// In this case let's say thirdTemplate gets rendered
{{render the choice taken above please...}}
{{/if}}
</template>
And within this template, depending on which link was clicked on, (in this case the third) there will finally be a thirdTemplate, which will show a data visualization with some help by a javascript framework, which will be in need of a <body onload="initFunction();">in order to display the data:
<template name="thirdTemplate">
<div class="col-md-5">
<h2>THIS!! section needs a "<body onload="initFunction();"> in order to work" ></h2>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-5">
<h2>Some other related content here</h2>
</div>
</template>
To sum up i have three questions:
1a. How could i get the third template to get a <body onload="initFunction();">
2a. In which way can i render different templates within the secondTemplate?
2b. Can i use a {{renderPage}} within this template even though this template is the renderedPage in the main template or should i do it in some other way?
In order to get the <body onload="initFunction();"> i had to do the following:
First add the following function to a .js file in the client folder:
Template.thirdTemplate.rendered = function() { // Template.thirdTemplate.created - also worked.
$('body').attr({
onload: 'init();'
});
}
This however got me an error saying that initFunction is not defined. In an standard html page my could work just fine, but in meteor i had to change my function from:
function initFunction(){
//what ever i wished to do
}
To:
init = function() {
//what ever i wished to do
}
Regarding the rendering of pages, iron-routing is the way to go since the router add on is not under development any more.
1a. How could i get the third template to get a <body
onload="initFunction();">
You probably want to call initFunction when the third template has been rendered, so just put your call to it in the rendered callback.
Template['thirsTemplate'].rendered = function(){
initFunction()
}
2a. In which way can i render different templates within the
secondTemplate?
2b. Can i use a {{renderPage}} within this template even though this
template is the renderedPage in the main template or should i do it in
some other way?
Listen for clicks on the links, and when one happen you manually render the desired template (possible with Meteor.render, if you need reactivity) and add it to the right node in the document. See this question.
It may be possibly to achieve with router (I don't know that package).
I think that what you want to use is the created callback, that will be called each time your template is created, and not the rendered callback, that would be called each time a change has caused the template to re-render.
Template.thirdTemplate.created = function(){
initFunction()
}
See the documentation for templates for other types of callbacks: http://docs.meteor.com/#templates_api
I have a layout with 2 containers 1)productView and 2)calendarView. My Router is configured as follows:
this.route('productDetail', {
layout: 'main',
path: '/products/:_id',
waitnOn: function(){...},
data: function(){...},
yieldTemplates: {
'calendarView: { to: calendar }
}
});
I now want to achieve that whenever the route changes (e.g. from 'products/1' to 'products/2') only the productView is re-rendered and that calendarView does nothing. As for now every time the 'productDetail/:id' route is called the 'calendarView' function 'Template.calendarView.rendered' gets called and re-renders the template. My 'main' template looks like this:
<template name="main">
<div>
{{yield}}
</div>
<div>
{{yield 'calendar'}}
</div>
</template>
Is there a way to tell the router to only render certain templates? Or is there a better solution?
Any help is much appreciated.
Is there a reason why you use the router for the calendar view ?
I think one solution may be not to use the router for the calendar view
<template name="main">
<div>
{{yield}}
</div>
<div>
{{>calendar}}
</div>
</template>
I've got a situation where I'm rendering a Handlebars partial recursively based on a Mongodb tree structure, something like this :
<template name='menu'>
<ul class='menu'>
{{#each topLevelChildren}}
{{>menu-item}}
{{/each}}
</ul>
</template>
<template name='menu-item'>
<li>{{name}}
{{#if listChildren.count}}
<ul>
{{#each listChildren}}
{{>menu-item}}
{{/each}}
</ul>
{{/if}}
</li>
</template>
where the mongodb docs look like this :
{ _id : ObjectId("525eb7245359090f41b65106"),
name : 'Foo',
children : [ ObjectId("525eb60c5359090f41b65104"), ObjectId("525eb6ca5359090f41b65105") ]
}
and listChildren just returns a cursor containing the full docs for each element in the children array of the parent.
I want to do a bit of jquery makeup on the rendered tree, but I can't seem to hook into the 'rendered' event for the entire tree, something like
Template.menu-completed.rendered = function(){
// console.log('done!');
}
Trying this
Template.menu.rendered = function(){
console.log($('menu li'));
}
Not only doesn't this return the right results (brackets filled with commas), it also freezes web inspector (but not the app...).
Any help would be much appreciated !
This is an interesting problem :)
In the current version of Meteor (0.7.x) the rendered callback is called once when the template is first rendered, and then again once any partial inside the template is re-rendered. (This behavior will change when Meteor 0.8 - the shark branch or "Meteor UI" - lands.)
I've never tried doing things recursively, but it's going to be very hard to tell which callback you get is actually for the parent. One thing you might want to try is to start the recursive rendering in a template called menu-parent or something. That way, when the rendered callback is called for the first time (and as long as your data is loaded), you know the whole tree is rendered.
However, I suspect there might be a better way to do this. Generally, you should not be using jQuery to modify classes and attributes on DOM elements, as you'll confuse yourself as to what Meteor is doing and what jQuery is doing. Can you elaborate on what you are trying to achieve with the following, and I'll update my answer?
I need to find a specific anchor tag within the fully rendered template and add a class to it... and then add a class to each of its parents
Petrov, your code actually works for me, with just some minor modification to the jquery part. But perhaps I'm misunderstanding. Here is what I did:
Created a brand new project.
Added your template in the .html with minor change: <li><span class="name">{{name}}</span>
Created a new collection List.
Template.menu.topLevelChildren = function() { return List.find(); };
Then I added this handler:
Template.menu.rendered = function(e){
$('.name').each(function(i, e) {
console.log(e);
});
}
Now, upon render, for instance when new data is inserted into the List collection, I get a printout on the console like this:
<span class="name">second</span>
<span class="name">second2</span>
<span class="name">second21</span>
<span class="name">second22</span>
<span class="name">third</span>
<span class="name">third2</span>
<span class="name">third21</span>
<span class="name">third22</span>
<span class="name">third</span>
<span class="name">third2</span>
<span class="name">third21</span>
<span class="name">third22</span>
This is just a flat list of the tree elements I had added (where second2 is nested in second, and second2x is nested in second2, etc.). So from what I understand you could just take the selection coming back from jquery and find the tag you are looking for and change its class, as you wanted. Please let me know if I misunderstood something.
