Vue Discord Message

Vue components to easily build and display fake Discord messages on your webpages.

If you use React in your project, you should use react-discord-message. If you want to use web components instead, use wc-discord-message!

yarn add vue-discord-message
# or npm install vue-discord-message
# browser build also available: https://unpkg.com/vue-discord-message
import Vue from 'vue';
import VueDiscordMessage from 'vue-discord-message';

Vue.use(VueDiscordMessage);

Notes

Usage inside Markdown files

If you're using a static site generator like VuePress and want to use these components inside your Markdown files, you should use it as such:

<div is="discord-messages">
	<discord-message>
		...
	</discord-message>
</div>

This is the recommended approach due to how VuePress renders Markdown and HTML inside Markdown files. It doesn't recognize <discord-messages> as an HTML element, therefore rendering anything indented inside it as a regular codeblock.

Upgrading

Upgrade to v5

CSS updates and general fixes were applied. The only "breaking" change is that the .discord-highlight-mention class has been moved up from to .discord-message.discord-message-body to .discord-message, in case you're targetting it in your CSS somewhere.

Upgrade to v4

In vue-discord-message v3, the profile shortcuts plugin option is set via a profiles object property in your Vue.use() call, and then used as <discord-message user="id">. In v4, the user prop has been renamed to profile.

The Mention component has also been updated to have default content for the default slot. If the default slot is left empty, the mention will be rendered as 'User', 'Role', or 'channel', depending on the type prop given. It now accepts a profile prop as well. This will either use the profile's author property to set the default slot content (if empty) , or use the profile's roleColor property to set the color for role pings.

<discord-messages>
	<discord-message>Hey there, <mention />!</discord-message> <!-- "Hey there, @User! -->
	<discord-message>Hey there, <mention profile="sanc" />!</discord-message> <!-- "Hey there, @Sanctuary! -->
	<discord-message>Hey there, <mention profile="sanc" type="role" />!</discord-message> <!-- "Hey there, @Role! (colored ping) -->
</discord-messages>

The Discord avatar shortcut images are also no longer bundled with this package and are now served as CDN links. This allows for a much smaller package size! 🎉
