For class name generation, enough to call b() method with v-bind:class or use :class in your template.
The Block name will be receive from name field of component or block field:
<script>
export default {
name: 'ui-button',
}
</script>
<template>
<div :class="b()"> DIV tag will receive 'ui-button' class name </div>
</template>More examples in API section
After component initialization (created lifecycle hook), every component, that has string in name or block fields recive b() method.
Also, you can call this.b() method in your component, if you need it.
Q: What if I don't want to use name field for Block name? And what is block field ?
If you want, you can use block field instead of name, but keep in mind, block prefer then name:
<script>
export default {
name: 'ui-button',
block: 'bem-button', // prefer then `name: 'ui-button'`
}
</script>
<template>
<div :class="b()"> DIV tag will receive 'bem-button' class name </div>
</template>Q: I will want use another delimiters for BEM entities. And still I need namespances.
No problem. You can set your settings object with Vue.use() as second argument:
import Vue from 'vue';
import vueBemCn from 'vue-bem-cn';
// default delimiters settings
const bemConfig = {
delimiters: {
ns: '', // namespace
el: '__', // element delimeter
mod: '--', // modifier delimeter
modVal: '-', // value delimeter for modifier
}
}
Vue.use(vueBemCn, bemConfig);
new Vue({...});Q: I will want use another name for b method.
Just change methodName option in config:
import Vue from 'vue';
import vueBemCn from 'vue-bem-cn';
const bemConfig = {
methodName: 'bem',
}
Vue.use(vueBemCn, bemConfig);
new Vue({...});Q: What about converting camelCase to kebab-case?
Check hyphenate option:
import Vue from 'vue';
import vueBemCn from 'vue-bem-cn';
const bemConfig = {
hyphenate: true,
}
Vue.use(vueBemCn, bemConfig);
new Vue({...});API
