# vbuild

"Compile" your [VUEJS](https://vuejs.org/) [component (*.vue)](https://fr.vuejs.org/v2/guide/single-file-components.html) to standalone html/js/css ... python only (no need of nodejs). BTW it provides a js-minimizer (es2015 compliant code)

**BREAKING NEWS** : a future version will be able to make your component (script) in **PURE PYTHON** ! (my tests are really great ! stay tuned !!)

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](https://pypi.org/project/vbuild/)

```python
import vbuild

c=vbuild.render("mycompo.vue")
#c=vbuild.render("vues/*.vue")
#c=vbuild.render( ["c1.vue","c2.vue"] )
#c=vbuild.render( ["main.vue","vues/*.vue"] )
print( c.html )
print( c.script )
print( c.style )
```

You can use [sass](https://sass-lang.com/)(new syntax only) (using `<style lang="scss"></style>` or `<style lang="sass"></style>`) or [less](http://lesscss.org/) (using `<style lang="less"></style>`) in your styles. But you'll need to install [pyscss](https://pypi.org/project/pyScss/) or [lesscpy](https://pypi.org/project/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](https://closure-compiler.appspot.com))

```python
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](https://vue-loader.vuejs.org/spec.html))
 * 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 4 lines of python code; example:

```python
import vbuild
buf=readYourTemplate("index.tpl") # should contains a tag "<!-- HERE -->" that would be substituted
buf=buf.replace("<!-- HERE -->",str( vbuild.render( "vues/*.vue" ) ) )
writeYourTemplate("index.html",buf)
```

If you use `sass` or `less`, you can define partial like this:

```python
import vbuild
vbuild.partial="$color: red;"
buf=readYourTemplate("index.tpl") # should contains a tag "<!-- HERE -->" that would be substituted
buf=buf.replace("<!-- HERE -->",str( vbuild.render( "vues/*.vue" ) ) )
writeYourTemplate("index.html",buf)
```

([a real example](https://github.com/manatlan/wuy/tree/master/examples/vueapp) of rendering vue/sfc components, using **vbuild** and the marvelous [wuy](https://github.com/manatlan/wuy))

Hope it could help ...
