Vue-Strap is a friendly library that merges the simplicity of Vue.js with the elegant styling of Bootstrap components, all while leaving out the need for jQuery or its JavaScript. This article will guide you through the installation process and show you how to effectively use its components in your next project.

Why Choose Vue-Strap?

Imagine you are building a stylish home. Bootstrap provides you with the beautiful designs (the house framework), while Vue.js helps you bring the house to life (its functionality and interaction). Vue-Strap combines both elements seamlessly, allowing you to focus on what matters: creating a great user experience.

Installation Steps

To get started with Vue-Strap, follow the steps below based on your setup preference:

Using NPM

bash
$ npm install github:wffranco/vue-strap --save

Using CommonJS

js
var alert = require('vue-strap/src/alert');
// or
var alert = require('vue-strap').alert;

new Vue({
  components: {
    alert: alert
  }
});

Using ES6

js
import alert from 'vue-strap/src/alert';
// or
import alert from 'vue-strap';

new Vue({
  components: {
    alert
  }
});

Using AMD

js
$ bower install vue-strap
define(['vue-strap'], function(VueStrap) {
  var alert = VueStrap.alert;
  // ...
});

Local Setup

For a smoother development process, you can run the documentation site in development mode by executing the command:

bash
npm run docs

This command will watch for file changes as you work. To build your project, simply run:

npm run build

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during setup, consider the following:

• Ensure that you have the correct versions of Vue.js (^v2.x.x) and Bootstrap CSS (3.x.x).
• Check your console for any error messages; these can guide you to the specific problem.
• If the components don’t render as expected, ensure that the script tags are correctly placed in the HTML.
