About Vuido
This information is intended for advanced users who wish to configure a Vuido application manually. In most cases the automatic quick setup should be enough.
You need to install the vuido package in order to use Vuido in you application:
1
npm install --save vuido

In order to use single-file components, you will also need webpack and vue-loader. The configuration is similar to a web application using Vue.js, with some important differences:
The vuido-template-compiler must be used instead of the standard vue-template-compiler which is used by vue-loader by default. Use the compiler option to pass the Vuido compiler to vue-loader. Note that this option requires vue-loader v15 or newer.
Set the target option to 'node' to ensure that the compiled script can be run correctly by Node.js.
Use webpack.ExternalsPlugin to exclude libui-node and other native modules from the bundle.
Example of webpack configuration using Vuido:
webpack.config.js
1
const path = require( 'path' );
2
const webpack = require( 'webpack' );
3
const VueLoaderPlugin = require( 'vue-loader/lib/plugin' );
4
const VuidoTemplateCompiler = require( 'vuido-template-compiler' );

        test: /\.vue$/,

        loader: 'vue-loader',

        options: {

          compiler: VuidoTemplateCompiler
21
        }

      {

        test: /\.js$/,
25
        loader: 'babel-loader',
26
        exclude: /node_modules/
27
      }

    ]

    extensions: [ '.js', '.vue', '.json' ]

    new VueLoaderPlugin()

  ]

You also need to install babel-core, babel-loader and babel-preset-env.
The basic Babel configuration which compiles the scripts for Node.js v8 looks like this:
.babelrc
1
{
2
  "presets": [
3
    [ "env", {
4
      "targets": {
5
        "node": 8
6
      },
7
      "modules": false,
8
      "useBuiltIns": true
9
    } ]
10
  ],
11
  "comments": false
12
}
