Now I am using vite build tool for my vue SFC app. I read the documentation of vite with the link below:
If I am not wrong, the define option in config could be used for defining global constants. What I want to do is to define for example the name of my App in a variable inside this option and then use it in my Vue components. But unfortunately there is no example of code in the documentation about this option.
I tried this code in my vite.config.js file:
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'
// https://vitejs.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
define: {
global: {
appName: "my-custom-name"
}
},
plugins: [vue()]
})I am not sure that the syntax and code is correct! And also if it is correct I don't know how to call (use) this constant in my vue app components (.vue files). For example I want to use it in template or script part of this component:
<template>
<div class="bgNow">
<p class="color1">
{{ use here }}
</p>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
name: use here
};
},
methods: {
nameMethod() {
console.log(use here);
}
} // end of method
} // end of export
</script>
<style scoped></style>I declared the places that want with "use here" in the code. And also if there is any other way that I could define some global constants and variables in my vite vue app, I very much appreciate your help to tell me about that.
define is a config that tells Vite how to perform a search-and-replace. It can only replace one string for another (objects cannot be used as a replacement).
For example, to replace all instances of appName with "my-custom-name", use the following config. Note JSON.stringify() is used (per the recommendation in the docs) to ensure the literal string replacement is properly quoted.
export default defineConfig({
define: {
appName: JSON.stringify('my-custom-name')
}
})
If App.vue contained:
<script setup>
console.log('appName', appName)
</script>
It would be transformed to:
<script setup>
console.log("appName", "my-custom-name")
</script>
