FastComments commenting widgets for Vue 2

Repository

View on GitHub


Live Showcase Internal Link

To see every widget and flow running locally against the public demo tenant, clone the repo and run:

npm install
npm run serve

Individual demos also have their own entry points (npm run serve-collab-chat, serve-live-chat, serve-image-chat, serve-pagination, serve-toggle-dark-mode) under dev/.

Installation Internal Link


NPM

npm install --save fastcomments-vue

Yarn

yarn add fastcomments-vue

Updating The Current Page (SPA Example) Internal Link

In FastComments, we call the article ID, or the page the comments are tied to, the URL ID, since it can be a URL or an ID. Define the URL ID as follows. The component watches for changes in the config object and will reload, so you can simply update the "url" and "urlId" settings.

See a full working example here.

Run the pagination example via:

npm run serve-pagination
<fast-comments-vue v-bind:config="{tenantId: 'demo', url: 'https://example.com', urlId: 'some-page-id'}" />

Account Region (ATTENTION: EU Customers)

If your account is located in the EU, set region = 'eu' in the widget configuration, for example:

<fast-comments-vue v-bind:config="{tenantId: 'demo', url: 'https://example.com', urlId: 'some-page-id', region: 'eu'}" />

Otherwise, you do not have to define region.

In Production Internal Link

You probably don't want to define the config inline if you're passing callbacks etc. Instead, you'll want to define the config in a computed block, otherwise each time your callback etc is invoked the entire widget will re-render.

See the spinner example for how to do this.

Maintenance Status Internal Link

These components are wrappers around our core VanillaJS components. We can automatically update these components (fix bugs, add features) without publishing this library, so while it may not be published for a while that does not mean FastComments is not under active development! Feel free to check our blog for updates. Breaking API changes or features will never be shipped to the underlying core library without a version bump in this library.
