Vue.js bindings for Web3 1.0
In module environments, e.g CommonJS:
npm install vue web3@beta vue-web3var Vue = require('vue')
var Web3 = require('web3')
var VueWeb3 = require('vue-web3')
// explicit installation required in module environments
Vue.use(VueWeb3, { web3: new Web3(web3.currentProvider) })let myContract = new web3.eth.Contract(MyContract, '0xbA911C4A817e69998Ffd3626d3c5366038e8480F')
var vm = new Vue({
el: '#demo',
web3: {
// can bind to calls
lastUpdated: {
contract: myContract,
method: 'getLastUpdated',
arguments: []
},
// can also bind to events
transfers: {
contract: myContract,
event: 'OwnershipTransferred',
options: {
fromBlock: 2
}
}
}
})If you need to access properties from the Vue instance, use the function syntax:
var vm = new Vue({
el: '#demo',
web3: function () {
return {
lastUpdated: {
contract: myContract,
method: 'getLastUpdated',
arguments: [this.$store.state.user.uid]
}
}
}
})$watch and call $unbind and then $bindCall or $bindEvents
<div id="demo">
<pre>{{ lastUpdated }}</pre>
<ul>
<li v-for="transfer in transfers">From {{ transfer.previousOwner }} to {{ transfer.newOwner }}</li>
</ul>
</div>The above will bind the Vue instance's lastUpdated and transfers to the respective Web3 data sources.
Alternatively, you can also manually bind to Web3 with the $bindCall or $bindEvents instance methods:
let myContract = new web3.eth.Contract(MyContract, '0xbA911C4A817e69998Ffd3626d3c5366038e8480F')
vm.$bindCall('user', { contract: myContract, method: 'getUser' })
vm.$bindEvents('transfers', { contract: myContract, event: 'OwnershipTransferred' })
// References are unbound when the component is destroyed but you can manually unbind a reference
// if needed
vm.$unbind('items')In order to get updates from the blockchain, this library requires a provider that supports subscriptions. MetaMask does not currently inject a provider with this support, this is being tracked via metamask-extension/2350.
Thankfully, we can create our own provider:
var provider = new Web3.providers.WebsocketProvider('wss://ropsten.infura.io/ws')Until MetaMask's provider supports subscriptions, you can have a write web3 instance with MetaMask's provider and a read web3 instance which uses the WebsocketProvider.
