How to Setup Vue.js with CodeIgniter 4
If you’re a web developer, chances are you’ve heard of Vue.js and CodeIgniter 4. Vue.js is a popular JavaScript framework for building user interfaces, while CodeIgniter 4 is a powerful PHP framework for creating web applications. In this article, we’ll go over the steps to set up Vue.js with CodeIgniter 4 to create a modern and interactive web application.
Step 1: Install Vue.js
The first step is to install Vue.js. You can do this by including the Vue.js library from a CDN in your HTML file, or by using a package manager like npm. For this example, we’ll use the npm method.
npm install vue
Step 2: Create Vue Component
Next, you’ll want to create a Vue component that will be used in your CodeIgniter 4 application. You can do this by creating a new file, for example MyComponent.vue, and defining your component like so:
<template>
<div>
<p>Hello, Vue.js!</p>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: 'MyComponent'
}
</script>
Step 3: Integrate Vue.js with CodeIgniter 4
Finally, you’ll want to integrate Vue.js with CodeIgniter 4. You can do this by including the Vue.js library and your Vue component in your CodeIgniter 4 HTML file. For example, you can include them in the index.php file like so:
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue@2.6.14/dist/vue.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="app">
<my-component / >
</div>
<script src="path/to/MyComponent.js"></script>
<script>
new Vue({
el: '#app',
components: {
MyComponent
}
})
</script>
</body>
</html>
With these steps, you should now have Vue.js set up and integrated with CodeIgniter 4. You can now start building modern and interactive web applications with these powerful technologies!
