* Remarks

Docs

vue-products-grid has many features and options that you can control in order to fit with your template/layout/app.

We designed the component in order to make compatible with a clean project so we decided to not include any dependency. For this reason you can add to any Vue project as is, without depending on third libraries, or simply using yours.

For any issue please open an issue on github repository.

Props

items prop definition

items prop as array of objects requires a defined structure for each object. If your data don't match the following structure use mapping as described below

* With name, label and abstract fields you can inject HTML code directly

Example of HTML injection on title field:

items:[
  {
    id: '1',
    title: '<style color="red">My title</style>',
    ...
  },
  ...
]

Mapping prop definition

When your data don't match the items prop definition you can map your data structure directly without making any conversion and pass to the component with the mapping prop.

Mapping Fields example:

<template>
  ...
  <product-grid
    :items = "items"
    :mapping = "mapping" //your data structure mapping
    :options = "options"
    ...
  />
</template>
...
  data:()=>({
    ...
    //mapping data structure
    mapping: {
      id:   'your id field',
      name: 'your product name field',
      label: 'your label field',
      abstract: 'your abstract field'
      price: 'your price field',
      sale_price: 'your sale price field',
      image: 'your image field',
      isfavorite: 'your favorite field',
      rating: 'your rating field'
    },
  })

Configuration params for options prop

With the options object you can customize your grid widgets with the following params.

Note

* to use default values you need to add the Google Material Icons to your project.

Example:

...
 data: ()=>({
    config : {
      color: '#fafafa',
      title_color: '#ff0000',
      ....
    }
 })

Events

vue-products-grid emits 4 events (this.$emit(...)) in order to get the following user actions:

• click on image or title
• click add to cart (shopping cart icon)
• click on rating (user set rating)
• click on favorite icon (add to favorite)

The above events needs to be declared in the component bindings to connect your template. Your template needs to have the functions declared in the binding in the methods section (see complete examble below)

You can assign your custom logic to each emitted event. Example : you can change the add to cart event emitted behavior to open the single product page instead to add to cart logic.

Full Example

<template>
  <products-grid
     :items="items"
     :options="options"
     @widgetSelected="set_preview"
     @widgetClick="add_to_cart"
     @widgetRating="set_rating"
     @widgetFavorite="set_favorite"
   />
</template>
