rails + vue js projcet demo
To create a Vue.js project with a Rails backend, you can follow these steps:
Install Ruby and Rails: Make sure you have Ruby and Rails installed on your system. You can check their versions by running
ruby -v
andrails -v
in your terminal.Create a Rails project: Open your terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to create your project. Run the following command to create a new Rails project:
rails new project_name
Set up the database: Change directory to your project folder by running
cd project_name
. Open theconfig/database.yml
file and configure your database settings according to your needs. Then, run the following command to create the database:rails db:create
Add Vue.js: To integrate Vue.js into your Rails project, you can use the
webpacker
gem. Add it to yourGemfile
:ruby gem 'webpacker', '~> 5.0'
Then, run the following commands to install and set up webpacker:
bundle install
rails webpacker:install
Create a new Vue.js application: Run the following command to generate a new Vue.js application within your Rails project:
rails webpacker:install:vue
Configure your Vue.js application: Open the
app/javascript/packs/application.js
file and add the following line at the bottom to import and initialize Vue.js: ```javascript import Vue from 'vue' import App from '../App.vue'
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const app = new Vue({ render: h => h(App) }).$mount() document.body.appendChild(app.$el) }) ```
- Create a Vue component: Inside the
app/javascript
directory, you can create a new directory calledcomponents
to store your Vue components. For example, you can create a component calledHelloWorld.vue
inapp/javascript/components
: ```vueHello, World!
```
- Use the Vue component in your Rails views: Open a Rails view file (e.g.,
app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
) and add the following code to render your Vue component: ```erb <%= javascript_pack_tag 'application' %> <%= stylesheet_pack_tag 'application' %>
```
Start the Rails server: Run the following command to start the Rails server:
rails server
Visit your application: Open your web browser and visit
http://localhost:3000
to see your Vue.js component rendered within your Rails application.
