Headless CMS for Vue

Hygraph is the ideal Headless CMS for Vue websites and applications. Read further to learn how our API-first CMS allows you to add components to your Vue apps in minutes and enable your website's content to be managed from a powerful CMS.

Step #1 - Construct your query and fetch the data from Hygraph

You should first set up the GraphQL query using Apollo's gql template literal. The useQuery function from Apollo Client is used to execute this query. The query response is stored in a reactive ref variable named products. The loading and error states are also tracked to handle the query's loading and error states.

Note that you should first configure the GraphQL endpoint in your Apollo Client configuration.

<template>
  <div>
    <!-- Vue component template goes here -->
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import { ref } from 'vue';
import { gql, useQuery } from '@apollo/client/core';

const GET_PRODUCTS_QUERY = gql`
  query GetProducts {
    products {
      name
      description
      image
      availability
      slug
    }
  }
`;

export default {
  setup() {
    const products = ref(null);
    const { loading, error } = useQuery(GET_PRODUCTS_QUERY, {
      onCompleted(data) {
        products.value = data.products;
      }
    });

    return { products, loading, error };
  }
};
</script>

Step #2 - Using the fetched data in a Vue component

Now you can set up the Vue component template that uses the data fetched from the GraphQL query. It checks for loading and error states and displays the relevant messages. Once the data is loaded, it iterates over the products array and displays each product's details, such as name, description, image, and availability, using Vue's template syntax.

This approach effectively demonstrates how data fetched from a GraphQL API can be seamlessly integrated and rendered in a Vue application.

<template>
  <div>
    <div v-if="loading">Loading...</div>
    <div v-if="error">An error occurred: {{ error.message }}</div>
    <div v-for="product in products" :key="product.slug">
      <h2>{{ product.name }}</h2>
      <p>{{ product.description }}</p>
      <img :src="product.image" :alt="product.name">
      <p>Availability: {{ product.availability }}</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
// The script part remains the same as in the Step #1
</script>

Why Hygraph

Choosing Hygraph for your Vue project

GraphQL is a great choice for any single-page application or website you're building because the single endpoint and intuitive query syntax returns multiple data points. Working with Hygraph is quick and easy with your favorite Vue GraphQL client.

Using a GraphQL-native headless CMS with Vue benefits developers and content editors alike. Developers enjoy streamlined data fetching through GraphQL's structured queries, enhancing code efficiency and maintainability within Vue's reactive framework. Content editors get a user-friendly platform for content management, independent of the front-end technology.
