How to Get Started with Ream

Mar 23, 2024 | Programming

In this article, we’ll go through the process of setting up and using Ream, a powerful tool for building Vue applications. Let’s dive right into it!

What is Ream?

Ream is an innovative framework that allows you to create applications in a way that’s different from traditional Vue Single Page Applications (SPAs). It’s a bit like a magical toolbox that changes how you build your projects. However, it’s important to note that this project is deprecated in favor of Vapper.

Installation

To install Ream in your project, simply run the following command:

bash
yarn add ream

Using Ream in Your Project

Unlike standard Vue SPAs where you usually set up your components directly, Ream requires you to export a function that returns an object in your app entry. Think of it as creating a recipe where you need to list not just the ingredients (your components), but also the method to prepare them.

Here’s how to set it up:

js
import Vue from 'vue'
import Router from 'vue-router'

Vue.use(Router)

export default () => ({
  router: new Router({
    mode: 'history',
    routes: [
      {
        path: '/',
        // Dynamically load your index component
        component: () => import('./index.vue')
      }
    ]
  })
})

In this snippet, you can visualize it like laying out a train track (the router) that guides the train (your app) towards its destination (the index component). You set the rules of the railroads (the paths and components), but it’s the function that heads down those tracks to deliver your app’s functionality.

Running Your Application

Once everything is set up, enjoy the ride by running:

bash
ream dev

Then, navigate to http://localhost:4000 to see your masterpiece in action!

Future Development

Here’s what you can expect in the future:

  • – Document how to modify internal webpack config.
  • – Add proper tests.

  4. Push to the branch: git push origin my-new-feature
  5. Submit a pull request 😀

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while working with Ream, here are a few ideas to troubleshoot:

  • Ensure that all dependencies are installed correctly. You can run yarn install again to double-check.
  • Check your file paths and component imports; even a tiny typo can cause issues.
  • Use your browser’s developer tools to inspect any errors showing up in the console.
