1 year ago admin Symfony

In today's tutorial, we are going to see how to add Vue js 3 to Symfony 6 with Encore, so I assume that you have already installed a fresh new Symfony 6 application. 


Install Encore

First, let's install Encore and the packages that we are going to need.

Run the commands below: 

                                                    
                                                                                                                
//first
composer require symfony/webpack-encore-bundle

//second
yarn install

//third
yarn add vue  vue-loader  vue-template-compiler

Enable Vue js

Next step, we need to enable Vue js, so let's update the file webpack.config.js and add this line .enableVueLoader()

                                                        
                                                                                                                        
// webpack.config.js

  Encore
      // ...
      .addEntry('main', './assets/main.js')

+     .enableVueLoader()
  ;

Create the home component

Inside the asset folder let's create a new folder 'components' inside this folder add a new file 'Home.vue' and add the code below.

                                                        
                                                                                                                        
<template>
   <div>
       <p>Add VueJs 3 to Symfony 6</p>
   </div>
</template>


Update the file app.js

Next, update the file app.js, let's import the home component and add it to the app.

                                                        
                                                                                                                        
/*
 * Welcome to your app's main JavaScript file!
 *
 * We recommend including the built version of this JavaScript file
 * (and its CSS file) in your base layout (base.html.twig).
 */

// any CSS you import will output into a single css file (app.css in this case)
import './styles/app.css';

// start the Stimulus application
import './bootstrap';

import { createApp } from 'vue';
import Home from './components/Home'

const app = createApp({});

app.component('home', Home);

app.mount('#app');
