Quick start
This part walks you through the process of using Element in a webpack project.

Under construction.
Config files
Create a new project, and its structure should be
|- src/ --------------------- source code
|- App.vue
|- main.js -------------- entry
|- .babelrc ----------------- babel config
|- index.html --------------- HTML template
|- package.json ------------- npm config
|- README.md ---------------- readme
|- webpack.config.js -------- webpack config
Typical configurations for these config files are:
.babelrc
{
"presets": ["vue-app"]
}
package.json
{
"name": "element-starter",
"scripts": {
"dev": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development webpack-dev-server --inline --hot --port 8086",
"build": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production webpack --progress --hide-modules"
},
"dependencies": {
"element-ui": "next",
"vue": "^2.4.2"
},
"devDependencies": {
"babel-core": "^6.0.0",
"babel-loader": "^6.0.0",
"babel-preset-vue-app": "^1.2.0",
"cross-env": "^1.0.6",
"css-loader": "^0.23.1",
"file-loader": "^0.8.5",
"style-loader": "^0.13.1",
"vue-loader": "^9.8.0",
"webpack": "beta",
"webpack-dev-server": "beta"
}
}
webpack.config.js
var path = require('path')
var webpack = require('webpack')
module.exports = {
entry: './src/main.js',
output: {
path: path.resolve(__dirname, './dist'),
publicPath: '/dist/',
filename: 'build.js'
},
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /\.vue$/,
loader: 'vue-loader'
},
{
test: /\.js$/,
loader: 'babel-loader',
exclude: /node_modules/
},
{
test: /\.css$/,
loader: 'style-loader!css-loader'
},
{
test: /\.(eot|svg|ttf|woff|woff2)(\?\S*)?$/,
loader: 'file-loader'
},
{
test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif|svg)(\?\S*)?$/,
loader: 'file-loader',
query: {
name: '[name].[ext]?[hash]'
}
}
]
},
devServer: {
historyApiFallback: true,
noInfo: true
},
devtool: '#eval-source-map'
}
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
module.exports.devtool = '#source-map'
// http://vue-loader.vuejs.org/en/workflow/production.html
module.exports.plugins = (module.exports.plugins || []).concat([
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env': {
NODE_ENV: '"production"'
}
}),
new webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin({
compress: {
warnings: false
}
})
])
}
Import Element
You can import Element entirely, or just import what you need. Let's start with fully import.
Fully import
In main.js:
import Vue from 'vue'
import ElementUI from 'element-ui'
import 'element-ui/lib/theme-chalk/index.css'
import App from './App.vue'
Vue.use(ElementUI)
new Vue({
el: '#app',
render: h => h(App)
})
The above imports Element entirely. Note that CSS file needs to be imported separately.
On demand
With the help of babel-plugin-component, we can import components we actually need, making the project smaller than otherwise.
First, install babel-plugin-component:
npm install babel-plugin-component -D
Then edit .babelrc:
{
"presets": [
["es2015", { "modules": false }]
],
"plugins": [["component", [
{
"libraryName": "element-ui",
"styleLibraryName": "theme-chalk"
}
]]]
}
Next, if you need Button and Select, edit main.js:
import Vue from 'vue'
import { Button, Select } from 'element-ui'
import App from './App.vue'
Vue.component(Button.name, Button)
Vue.component(Select.name, Select)
/* or
* Vue.use(Button)
* Vue.use(Select)
*/
new Vue({
el: '#app',
render: h => h(App)
})

Vue.prototype.$alert = MessageBox.alert
Vue.prototype.$confirm = MessageBox.confirm
Vue.prototype.$prompt = MessageBox.prompt
Vue.prototype.$notify = Notification
Vue.prototype.$message = Message
Global config
When importing Element, you can define a global config object. For now this object has only one property: size
, which sets the default size for all components:
Fully import Element:
import Vue from 'vue'
import Element from 'element-ui'
Vue.use(Element, { size: 'small' })
Partial import Element:
import Vue from 'vue'
import { Button } from 'element-ui'
Vue.prototype.$ELEMENT = { size: 'small' }
Vue.use(Button)
With the above config, the default size of all components that have size attribute will be 'small'.
Start coding
Now you have implemented Vue and Element to your project, and it's time to write your code. Start development mode:
# visit localhost:8086
npm run dev
Build:
npm run build
Please refer to each component's documentation to learn how to use them.
