[![All Contributors](https://img.shields.io/badge/all_contributors-2-orange.svg?style=flat-square)](#contributors-) chakra-loader webpack symbol

A webpack plugin for auto-importing and tree-shaking `@chakra-ui/vue` components

Features

✅ Automatically import only used Chakra components ✅ Preserves tree-shaking of Chakra components ✅ Better development experience

Installation

With Yarn:

yarn add chakra-loader -D

With NPM:

npm install chakra-loader --save-dev

Usage

If you're using webpack with Vue CLI or Nuxt.js for your Chakra project, import the ChakraLoaderPlugin from the chakra-loader package and add it to your vue.config.js file.

With Vue CLI

/* vue.config.js */

const { ChakraLoaderPlugin } = require('chakra-loader')

module.exports = {
  configureWebpack: {
    plugins: [
      new ChakraLoaderPlugin()
    ]
  }
}

With webpack.config.js

/* webkack.config.js */

const VueLoaderPlugin = require('vue-loader/lib/plugin')
const { ChakraLoaderPlugin } = require('chakra-loader')

module.exports = {
  // ... other options
  plugins: [
    new VueLoaderPlugin(),
    new ChakraLoaderPlugin()
  ]
}

With Nuxt.js

/* nuxt.config.js */

import { ChakraLoaderPlugin } from 'chakra-loader'

export default {
  build: {
    extend(config) {
      config.plugins.push(
        new ChakraLoaderPlugin()
      )
    }
  }
}

How it works

ChakraLoaderPlugin will analyse your SFC template at during development and at build time, and scan it for all Chakra UI Vue components that you consume in it. The loader will then proceed to automatically import those components and register them while preserving treeshaking.

For example, consider the component below, Component.vue which uses Chakra's CBox and CButton components.

<template>
  <c-box p="3" m="auto" bg="tomato" font-weight="bold" color="white">
    Chakra UI Vue Box
  </c-box>
  <c-button>
    Hello world!
  </c-button>
</template>

Using chakra-loader will yield:

<template>
  <c-box p="3" m="auto" bg="tomato" font-weight="bold" color="white">
    Chakra UI Vue Box
  </c-box>
  <c-button>
    Hello world!
  </c-button>
</template>

<script>
// 👇🏽 Automatically imports and registers
//    the CBox and CButton components from Chakra UI Vue. 🎉

import { CBox, CButton } from '@chakra-ui/vue'

export default {
  name: 'App',
  components: {
    CBox,
    CButton
  }
}
</script>
