Version

3.2.14

Reproduction link

github.com

Steps to reproduce

git clone git@github.com:gnuletik/vue-ce-import-comp-style.git
cd vue-ce-import-comp-style
yarn run dev

Open browser

What is expected?

CSS of OtherComponent.vue should be applied.
The text "It should be blue" should be blue.

What is actually happening?

Style is not applied.


I tried renaming OtherComponent to OtherComponent.ce.vue, but the result is the same.

This is useful when writing a set of custom elements to have shared components between custom elements.

I see 👁️ . My changes are very similar, just its more recursive, meaning also components at any level are interested.

Ok, this should be safer now. This addition will add any child component style to the main parent, no matter how deeply nested it is

Anyone know if it will be merged? It blocks me from using Vue 3 :/ @raffobaffo What about third party nested components (e.g. imported from some package)? Will your solution also work for them?

@raffobaffo

@pawel-marciniak Yes, it is.
@LinusBorg Great to hear. Atm to overcome this problem, we are using an own extended version of the defineCustomElement that provides that hack I inserted in the pr.

@lucasantunes-ciandt

@raffobaffo would you mind sharing how did you extend it? I tried it here by basically cloning /runtime-dom/src/apiCustomElement.ts with your changes but got a lot of syntax error from TS.

@raffobaffo
Copy link

@lucasantunes-ciandt sorry but not TS for me on this project. This is pretty much the hack I built:

import { defineCustomElement as rootDefineCustomElement } from 'vue'
[...]
export const getChildrenComponentsStyles = (component) => {
  let componentStyles = [];
  if (component.components) {
    componentStyles = Object.values(component.components).reduce(
      (
        aggregatedStyles,
        nestedComponent,
      ) => {
        if (nestedComponent?.components) {
          aggregatedStyles = [
            ...aggregatedStyles,
            ...getChildrenComponentsStyles(nestedComponent),
          ];
        }
        return nestedComponent.styles
          ? [...aggregatedStyles, ...nestedComponent.styles]
          : aggregatedStyles;
      }, [],
    );
  }
if (component.styles) {
    componentStyles.push(...component.styles);
  }

  return [...new Set(componentStyles)];
};

export const defineCustomElement = (component) => {

  // Attach children styles to main element
  // Should be removed once https://github.com/vuejs/vue-next/pull/4695
  // gets merged
  component.styles = getChildrenComponentsStyles(component);
  const cElement = rootDefineCustomElement(component);

  // Programmatically generate name for component tag
  const componentName = kebabize(component.name.replace(/\.[^/.]+$/, "") );
  // eslint-disable-next-line tree-shaking/no-side-effects-in-initialization
  customElements.define(componentName, cElement);

  // Here we are attaching a <ling ref="style" href="/style.css" ...
  // This is to have the css outside of the shadow dom
  // also available inside the shadow root without inlining them
  // The browser will automatically use the available declaration and won't
  // make multiple calls
  const componentShadowDom = document.querySelector(componentName)?.shadowRoot;
  if(componentShadowDom){
    const styleLink = document.createElement('link');
    styleLink.setAttribute('rel', 'stylesheet');
    styleLink.setAttribute('href', 'style.css');
    componentShadowDom.appendChild(styleLink);
  }
}

lucasantunes-ciandt commented Nov 11, 2021

@raffobaffo Thank you so much! I thought you were literally extending the whole file 😅

I tried this code here, but unfortunately it doesn't work. I suppose it expects the components are all custom elements, e.g. Component.ce.vue and ChildComponent.ce.vue.

When my components are named Component.vue they don't come with any styles prop, only when they're Component.ce.vue.

I reckon we'll need to wait for your PR to be merged.

lucasantunes-ciandt commented Nov 11, 2021

Oopsie, actually this works! Thank you @raffobaffo!!

I was a bit confused about the meaning of .ce.vue, now I realize the extension is only a Custom Element MODE and not actually declaring those components as custom elements. This means I really should have them as .ce.vue in order for this to work, even after this PR is merged.

So my two cents to the Issue Owner: OtherComponent.vue should be OtherComponent.ce.vue indeed.

@lucasantunes-ciandt

lucasantunes-ciandt commented Nov 11, 2021

@raffobaffo I had only to change the injection a little bit, since I may have multiple instances of the same Custom Element:

document.querySelectorAll(customElementName).forEach((element) => {
  if (!element.shadowRoot) return;

  const styleLink = document.createElement('link');
  styleLink.setAttribute('rel', 'stylesheet');
  styleLink.setAttribute('href', 'style.css');

  element.shadowRoot.appendChild(styleLink);
});

@raffobaffo
Copy link

@lucasantunes-ciandt Nice find 👍 ! Still this block is not part of the PR, because this actually make sense to have it in a separate module that is loaded just when custom elements are needed. In my case I have a components library and I want to have 2 exports, one to be consumed by Vue applications and one for browsers/html.
This part would maybe make more sense in some Vite or VueCli plugin 🤔 .

@lucasantunes-ciandt
Copy link

@raffobaffo Exactly! In our case we're using Vue inside a CMS, so we'll be only exporting custom elements to use within it instead of creating a Vue app, so we'll definitely keep that part because we need some external styles and even scripts from the CMS to be injected into the elements.

adamdehaven commented Nov 24, 2021

@raffobaffo would your solution also inject styles into the shadow DOM from child components imported within the defineCustomElement component that originate from external packages?

As an example, if I define and export a component with defineCustomElement, but within that element is a button component that is being imported from an external package (and is not created with defineCustomElement).

Also @lucasantunes-ciandt do you have a working example using the reproduction repo?

raffobaffo commented Nov 27, 2021

@adamlewkowicz hard to answer. Depends from how the imported element (third party) is structured. Does it comes with is own inline styles? If yes, it should work, if not, it cant.

As a workaround I've created component, which tracks Mutation in document.head and inline style tags (must includes comment /* VueCustomElementChildren */) into shadow dom in dev mode, for production it inlines link for stylesheets:

CustomElements.vue

<script setup lang="ts">
/***
 * @see https://github.com/vuejs/vue-next/issues/4662
 **/

import { computed } from "vue";
import { onMounted, onUnmounted, ref } from "@vue/runtime-core";

const props = defineProps<{
  cssHref?: string;
}>();

const inlineStyles = ref<HTMLElement[]>([]);
const html = computed(() =>
  // @ts-ignore
  import.meta.env.PROD && props.cssHref
    ? `<link href="${props.cssHref}" rel="stylesheet"/>`
    : `<style>${inlineStyles.value
        .map((style) => style.innerHTML)
        .join("")}</style>`
);

const findAndInsertStyle = () => {
  inlineStyles.value = Array.from(
    document.getElementsByTagName("style")
  ).filter((node) => {
    return node.innerHTML.includes("VueCustomElementChildren");
  });
};

// @ts-ignore
if (!import.meta.env.PROD) {
  const observer = new MutationObserver(findAndInsertStyle);
  observer.observe(document.head, {
    childList: true,
    subtree: true,
    characterData: true,
  });

  onMounted(findAndInsertStyle);
  onUnmounted(() => {
    observer.disconnect();
  });
}
</script>

<template>
  <div v-html="html"></div>
</template>

<style>
/* VueCustomElementChildren */
</style>

SomeOtherComponent.vue

<script setup lang="ts">
</script>

<template>
  <div class="some-other">test</div>
</template>

<style>
/* VueCustomElementChildren */
.some-other {
  color: red;

App.ce.vue

I've found a blog by @ElMassimo describing a workaround which works for me. To summarize:

  1. Name all SFC file names *.ce.vue
  2. In your main.ts use defineCustomElement.
  3. Define your custom elements.
  4. Use tag names instead of importing components. E.G <HelloWorld msg="hi"/> becomes \<hello-world msg="hi" />.

Don't know the limitations yet e.G vuex etc.

As a workaround I've created component, which tracks Mutation in document.head and inline style tags (must includes comment /* VueCustomElementChildren */) into shadow dom in dev mode, for production it inlines link for stylesheets:

@dezmound, wont that make other Vue custom elements' styles get injected into the first one?

For example, if you have 3 custom elements in the same page:

  1. element-a is inserted in page adds style to document.head
  2. observer from element-a copies the style from element-a to its shadow DOM
  3. element-b is inserted in page and adds style to document.head
  4. observer from element-a copies the style from element-b to element-a shadow DOM
  5. observer from element-b copies the style from element-a and element-b to element-b shadow DOM
  6. element-c is inserted in page and adds style to document.head
  7. observer from element-a copies the style from element-c to element-a shadow DOM
  8. observer from element-b copies the style from element-c to element-b shadow DOM
  9. observer from element-b copies the style from element-a, element-b and element-c to element-c shadow DOM

As so you end up with unwanted styles from other components into the components. It only works well if there is only one Vue based custom element/application in the page.

@claudiomedina Thank you for the comment 🙏 That's right, but it can be solved for example with adding scope prop for CustomElements.vue:

CustomElements.vue

<script setup lang="ts">
/***
 * @see https://github.com/vuejs/vue-next/issues/4662
 **/

import { computed } from "vue";
import { onMounted, onUnmounted, ref } from "@vue/runtime-core";

const props = defineProps<{
  cssHref?: string;
  scope?: string;
}>();

const inlineStyles = ref<HTMLElement[]>([]);
const html = computed(() =>
  // @ts-ignore
  import.meta.env.PROD && props.cssHref
    ? `<link href="${props.cssHref}" rel="stylesheet"/>`
    : `<style>${inlineStyles.value
        .map((style) => style.innerHTML)
        .join("")}</style>`
);

const findAndInsertStyle = () => {
  inlineStyles.value = Array.from(
    document.getElementsByTagName("style")
  ).filter((node) => {
    return node.innerHTML.includes(`${props.scope}: VueCustomElementChildren`);
  });
};

// @ts-ignore
if (!import.meta.env.PROD) {
  const observer = new MutationObserver(findAndInsertStyle);
  observer.observe(document.head, {
    childList: true,
    subtree: true,
    characterData: true,
  });

  onMounted(findAndInsertStyle);
  onUnmounted(() => {
    observer.disconnect();
  });
}
</script>

<template>
  <div v-html="html"></div>
</template>

<style>
/* VueCustomElementChildren */
</style>

Element-a.ce.vue

<script setup lang="ts">
import CustomElements from "@/components/CustomElements.vue";
import SomeOtherComponent from "@/components/SomeOtherComponent.vue";
</script>

<template>
  <CustomElements css-href="/style/stylesheet.css" scope="Element A" />
  <SomeOtherComponentForA />
</template>

<style>
</style>

SomeOtherComponentForA.vue

<script setup lang="ts">
</script>

<template>
  <div class="some-other">test</div>
</template>

<style>
/* Element A: VueCustomElementChildren */
.some-other {
  color: red;
}
</style>

Element-b.ce.vue

<script setup lang="ts">
import CustomElements from "@/components/CustomElements.vue";
import SomeOtherComponent from "@/components/SomeOtherComponent.vue";
</script>

<template>
  <CustomElements css-href="/style/stylesheet.css" scope="Element B" />
  <SomeOtherComponentForB />
</template>

<style>
</style>

SomeOtherComponentForB.vue

<script setup lang="ts">
</script>

<template>
  <div class="some-other">test</div>
</template>

<style>
/* Element B: VueCustomElementChildren */
.some-other {
  color: red;
}
</style>

My example's just a solution that allows to write and use components for CustomElement without casting it into native custom elements, so it's still compactable with TS. The child components may be shared with any entry points such as Vue App or different Custom Element. It doesn't contain complex logic because it does not need to. In some other cases as in your example, this workaround may be easily improved.

  1. Fixing v3.3 regressions
  2. p4 issues in core / important issues in other core repos / other planned 3.4 features
  3. p3 issues

Duplicate css

I remember having this issue at the time, but the culprit was another one. In my case, I vaguely remember I was trying to @import .less (could be SCSS or other preprocessor in your case) mixins and variables in our main.ts file for them to be available in all components, but it would duplicate the CSS for every component we had, so instead I had to inject it by creating a global "theme" for our app. IIRC we used style-resources-loader for this, so Webpack would handle it during build time. Hope it helps 😅

Three years and still no resolution. This problem is not so simple to solve. The context of the webcomponent needs to be maintained, and the inserted style tags need to be marked to prevent repeated insertion when the component is used multiple times. Currently, I deprecated scoped, and all styles are imported into .ce.vue using @import. Expect an official fix soon
