Install VueJS components in a rails project

Question

I'm trying to get a set of VueJS components i.e. VueStrap, installed in a Rails project. VueJS is setup and working correctly.

Typically I would use npm to install VueStrap if I was doing this outside of a Rails project.

How can I install VueStrap in a rails project?

You should still be able to use npm, though I think yarn is preferred with rails, just try running yarn add vue-strap from your project root. (add -D flag to save to dev-dependencies) — DivXZero

Thanks! I ran that, how can test it to see if it works? I have a simple hello world vue template which is working fine. How can I include vue-strap into the project and show a button for example? — rubyist

You should take a look at the webpacker gem. You can then use webpack + yarn very easily with Rails.

If you don't want to go by any of these routes mentioned above, you can always set up the frontend as a separate entity.

You can set up CORS using rack-cors gem, and use it to communicate with VueJS frontend.

That way Rails doesn't have to be concerned about the specific webpack/yarn/gulp, or whatever setup you have for your frontend logic.
