ONLYOFFICE Docs Vue component

The ONLYOFFICE Docs Vue.js component integrates ONLYOFFICE Docs into Vue.js projects.

This procedure requires Node.js (and npm).

This procedure creates a basic Vue.js application and installs an ONLYOFFICE Docs editor in it.

  1. Open a command line or command prompt and create a Vue.js 3.x project named onlyoffice-vue-demo using the Create Vue Tool:

    npm create vue@3
    
  2. Go to the newly created directory:

    cd onlyoffice-vue-demo
    
  3. Install ONLYOFFICE Docs Vue.js component from npm and save it to the package.json file with --save:

    npm install --save @onlyoffice/document-editor-vue
    
  4. Open the ./src/App.vue file in the onlyoffice-vue-demo project and replace its contents with the following code:

    <template>
        <DocumentEditor 
            id="docEditor" 
            documentServerUrl="http://documentserver/"
            :config="config"
            :events_onDocumentReady="onDocumentReady"
            :onLoadComponentError="onLoadComponentError"
        /> 
    </template>
    
    <script lang="ts">
    import { defineComponent } from 'vue';
    import { DocumentEditor } from "@onlyoffice/document-editor-vue";
    
    export default defineComponent({
        name: 'ExampleComponent',
        components: {
            DocumentEditor
        },
        data() {
            return {
                config: {
                    document: {
                        fileType: "docx",
                        key: "Khirz6zTPdfd7",
                        title: "Example Document Title.docx",
                        url: "https://example.com/url-to-example-document.docx"
                    },
                    documentType: "word",
                    editorConfig: {
                        callbackUrl: "https://example.com/url-to-callback.ashx"
                    }
                }
            }
        },
        methods: {
            onDocumentReady() {
                console.log("Document is loaded");
            },
            onLoadComponentError (errorCode, errorDescription) {
                switch(errorCode) {
                    case -1: // Unknown error loading component
                        console.log(errorDescription);
                        break;
    
                    case -2: // Error load DocsAPI from http://documentserver/
                        console.log(errorDescription);
                        break;
    
                    case -3: // DocsAPI is not defined
                        console.log(errorDescription);
                        break;
                }
            }
        },
    });
    </script>
    

    Replace the following lines with your own data:

    • "http://documentserver/" - replace with the URL of your server;
    • "https://example.com/url-to-example-document.docx" - replace with the URL to your file;
    • "https://example.com/url-to-callback.ashx" - replace with your callback URL (this is required for the saving functionality to work).
  5. Test the application using the Vue development server:

    • To start the development server, navigate to the onlyoffice-vue-demo directory and run:

      npm run dev
      
    • To stop the development server, select on the command line or command prompt and press Ctrl+C.

The easiest way to deploy the application to a production environment is to install serve and create a static server:

  1. Install the serve package globally:

    npm install -g serve
    
  2. Serve your static site on the 3000 port:

    serve -s build
    

    Another port can be adjusted using the -l or --listen flags:

    serve -s build -l 4000
    
  3. To serve the project folder, go to it and run the serve command:

    cd onlyoffice-vue-demo
    serve
    

Now you can deploy the application to the created server:

  1. Navigate to the onlyoffice-vue-demo directory and run:

    npm run build
    

    The dist directory will be created with a production build of your app.

  2. Copy the contents of the onlyoffice-vue-demo/dist directory to the root directory of the web server (to the onlyoffice-vue-demo folder).

The application will be deployed on the web server (http://localhost:3000 by default).
