Vue
In this guide, we will discuss how to setup a Vue project, that uses Onboardbase to manage its secrets(environment variables)
This section assumes you already have a project set up in Onboardbase Dashboard. If you don't, please create an account and get started!
To make integration faster the team at Onboardbase has released an open-source react starter kit you can check it out here
Create a Vue Project
We will be deploying the demo version of the Vue CLI project.
From anywhere comfortable in your terminal, run:
// Create a new Vue App using @vue/cli. Follow the prompt if you don't have one already
vue create hello-world
Change the directory into the Vue App folder you just created
cd hello-world
Then, change into the project folder cd hello-world
and add a remote git URL.
git remote add origin [REMOTE_GIT_URL]
git push --set-upstream origin main
Finally, start the project with:
yarn start
// or
npm start
Install Onboardbase CLI
Follow the installation guide to set up Onboardbase CLI for your machine.
Verify installation with onboardbase --version
, which would output the version of the CLI you just installed.
Authenticate Onboardbase CLI
From anywhere in your terminal, run onboardbase login
, and accept to open the page in a browser.
On the authorization page, enter your email, and a confirmation link will be sent to the email; click on the link, and your CLI should be authorized. Check your terminal to confirm.
Setup Onboardbase CLI
After successful installation, from the Vue Project directory in your terminal, run:
onboardbase setup
This would list all your projects, select the react project, select the development environment and accept to add .onboardbase.yaml to your .gitignore
file.
This would create an .onboardbase.yaml file with all the details you selected during the setup, and the build script would use this to know which secrets to pull into your react project.
Building with Onboardbase CLI
Since we have all our secrets on Onboardbase, we would be using the build tool from Onboardbase to load secrets into the project.
To do this, modify your start script inside the package.json
instead of having this:
"scripts": {
"serve": "vue-cli-service serve",
"build": "vue-cli-service build",
"test": "vue-cli-service test",
}
To this:
"scripts": {
"start": "onboardbase run --command=\"vue-cli-service serve\"",
"build": "vue-cli-service build",
"test": "vue-cli-service test",
},
Notice how we now use onboardbase run
to run the start and build process instead of the base vue-scripts.
To test this, start the development server with:
yarn start
Which should import all your Onboardbase projects
The secrets are available through: process.env.VUE_APP_STORED_IN_ONBOARDBASE
Awesome!
