vbuild

"Compile" your VUEJS component (*.vue) to standalone html/js/css ... python only (no need of nodejs). BTW it provides a js-minimizer (es2015 compliant code)

It's just an utility to extract HTML(template), SCRIPT and STYLE from a VUE/SFC component (*.vue). It's PURE python (py2 & py3 compatible), no nodejs ! It's fully unitested (100% !)

It won't replace webpack/nodejs/vue-cli, it fills the "Sometimes you have to work with the tools you have, not the ones you want." gap.

Available on pypi

import vbuild

sfc=vbuild.VBuild("mycompo.vue")
print( sfc.html )
print( sfc.script )
print( sfc.style )

or

import vbuild

ll=[]
ll.append( vbuild.VBuild("c1.vue") )
ll.append( vbuild.VBuild("c2.vue") )

s=sum(ll)

print( s.html )
print( s.script )
print( s.style )

By default, VBuild won't minify things. But you can change that by using vbuild.VBuild("mycompo.vue", minify=True), but you'll need to install css-html-js-minify.

You can use sass (using <style lang="scss"></style> or <style lang="sass"></style>) or less (using <style lang="less"></style>) in your styles. But you'll need to install pyscss or lesscpy, depending on your needs.

By the way, the module provide a js-minimizer(transpiler) (to generate ES5 compliant js) (thru on the clojure online service)

js="""async function  mymethod(...a) {
    var f=(...a) => {let b=12}
}
"""
min=vbuild.minimize(js)

Notes:

• templates are converted to a <script type="text/x-template" id="XXX"></script> (not converted to JS)
• A Minimal component needs the <template></template> tag only (specs)
• You can use <style></style> and/or <style scoped></style> (as many as you want)
• styles are minimized (remove comments and spaces)

Its main purpose is to let you use components (.vue files) in your vuejs app, without a full nodejs stack. It's up to you to create your generator, to extract the things, and create your "index.html" file. It's a 5 lines of python code; example:

import vbuild,glob
r=sum([vbuild.VBuild(i,minify=True) for i in glob.glob("*.vue")+glob.glob("*/*.vue")])
buf=readYourTemplate("index.tpl") # should contains a tag "<!-- HERE -->" that would be substituted
buf=buf.replace("<!-- HERE -->",str(r))
writeYourTemplate("index.html",buf)

(a real example of rendering vue/sfc components, using vbuild and the marvelous wuy)

Hope it could help ...
