Storyblok Component Fade plugin

Installing the plugin in your storyblok space

To use Component Fade plugin you need to compile and minify the plugin. But first you need to change name of the plugin. Go to ./src/ and open Plugin.vue. You need to prefix plugin name, with for example name of your department:

initWith() {
      return {
        // needs to be equal to your storyblok plugin name
        plugin: "department_name-component-fade"
      };
    },

Compiles and minifies for production

Go to root folder and run:

npm install
npm run build

After running the build you should get a folder /dist with an export.js file inside. Create a new plugin in storyblok (it has to have exact name as in first step) and paste the content of export.js and publish it.
The plugin will be available in your storyblok component schemas.
