Using vuetable-2 when Vue is already defined about vuetable-2 HOT 4 OPEN

@coderjp Well, I didn't really think about this until you mentioned it.

The obvious reason is that Vuetable-2 requires vue-resource to perform AJAX request, and if I do not register it with Vue (via Vue.use), it wouldn't work. And in order for it to be registered with Vue, it will need a reference to Vue itself (in Vue.use).

And, I think, the reason the in vuetable-1 it does not do like this maybe because (I really make a guess here) it was all bundled down into one js file. And the bundler (browserify in that case) has already include Vue as the dependency.

If this is a problem and if there is a way to fix it, I would love to learn about that. But my use cases are quite limited and I haven't faced that situation before, so I really have no idea how to deal with that. Any suggestion is really welcome. :)

Yes, I see what you're saying @ratiw

It just doesn't seem right that a Vue template is importing Vue - but yes I understand that it is in order to bind vue-resource. As far as I'm aware though, you don't need to use Vue.use() for vue-resource.

I am using webpack, maybe it makes sense to define Vue and Resource inside the template for vue-cli, but for me, I have no problem forcing the user to define Vue and Resource before loading the templates.

Probably going to take some playing around with. If I find a way I am happy with, I will be sure to update the issue.

As a matter of fact, you do need to use Vue.use() to register a Vue plugin before you can use it according to the doc. Even in vue-resource's doc also tell us so.

I'm also using webpack, and omitting any of those lines will always causing error.

This can actually be an improvement which will reduce the size of vue-table.
Why not force the user to use some http library from the start rather than importing it inside vue-table

created(){
 if(!this.$http){
  this.warn('A http library must be provided in order for vuetable-2 to work.');
 }
}

Since most of the users already use a http library if they want such tables, it's not necessarily to register it twice.
This will get your rid of Vue and VueResource dependencies and drop the vuetable size from 82kb to 22kb :)
