Customize Framework Setup Components

Oro provides the ability to integrate Vue/React libraries and create your custom micro-application. You can use data-page-component-vue-app or data-page-component-react-app for Vue and React, respectively, which will enable you to create and run a mini-app in its basic form.

A Vue/React application may often need more flexible customization or the addition of some third-party libraries to extend the standard functionality of the application.

We are going to illustrate how to do it with an example of a component for Vue. As an example, let’s add a manager for the state to the mini-application.

1. Create a module with Store. Remember to export the created store so that it can be later connected to the application.

   src/{YourBundleName}/Resources/public/js/vue/store/index.js

     import { createStore } from 'vuex';
   
     const store = createStore({
         state () {
             return {
                 count: 0
             }
         },
         mutations: {
             increment (state) {
                 state.count++
             }
         }
     });
   
     export default store;
   

2. Create a file to extend the functionality in your bundle.

   src/{YourBundleName}/Resources/public/js/app/components/custom-vue-app-component.js

     import VueAppComponent from 'oroui/js/app/components/vue-app-component';
     import store from '../../vue-app/store';
   
     const CustomVueAppComponent = VueAppComponent.extend({
         constructor: function CustomVueAppComponent(...args) {
             CustomVueAppComponent.__super__.constructor.apply(this, args);
         },
   
         beforeAppMount() {
             this.app.use(store);
         }
     });
   
     export default CustomVueAppComponent;
   

3. Create a shortcut that enables you to use the page component and Twig templates. Create an app-module to do this. To learn more about shortcuts, see the Component Shortcuts topic.

   src/{YourBundleName}/Resources/public/js/app/modules/custom-vue-module.js

     import ComponentShortcutsManager from 'oroui/js/component-shortcuts-manager';
   
     ComponentShortcutsManager.add('custom-vue-app', {
         moduleName: '{yourbundlename}/js/app/components/custom-vue-app-component',
         scalarOption: 'vueApp'
     });
   

4. Register the new module as app-module and create a yaml config file. See App Modules for more information.

   src/{YourBundleName}/Resources/views/layouts/{theme}/config/jsmodules.yml

     app-modules:
         - {yourbundlename}/js/app/modules/custom-vue-module
     dynamic-imports:
         acmevueapp:
             - {yourbundlename}/js/app/components/custom-vue-app-component
   

5. You can now use the new shortcut in Twig.

   src/{YourBundleName}/Resources/views/layout.html.twig

     {% block _custom_block_widget %}
         {% set attr = layout_attr_defaults(attr, {
             'data-page-component-custom-vue-app': {
                 vueApp: '{yourbundlename}/js/vue-app/App'
             }
         }) %}
   
         <div {{ block('block_attributes') }}>
             {{ block_widget(block) }}
         </div>
     {% endblock %}
   

8. Register your new widget and append it to the page container in the layout. For this, create a file. For more information on the layout update, see the Layout topic.

   src/{YourBundleName}/Resources/views/layouts/{theme}/layout.yml

     layout:
         actions:
             - '@setBlockTheme':
                 themes: 'layout.html.twig'
   
             - '@add':
                 id: custom_block
                 parentId: page_container
                 prepend: true
                 blockType: block
   

   Note

   You can use a similar approach for React.
