vue-rule-builder

What is this?

This component can be used whenever you need a UI for created complex filters. The UI is used to build up a data structure which can be used to generate a query of some sort.

Installation

npm install vue-rule-builder (or use yarn)

To use globally:

import RuleBuilder from 'vue-rule-builder'
 
Vue.use(RuleBuilder)

or import { RuleBuilder } from 'vue-rule-builder' for "local" installation.

You can import the built in stylesheet as well: import 'vue-rule-builder/dist/styles.css

A rule consists of three fields, a name, operation and value { name: 'firstName', operation: 'startsWith', value: 'B' }

The name and operation are arbitrary values, and you would have to have a parser which understands what those mean.

Rules can be put in a group: { all: true, rules: [] }

Rules can be filtered further:

{
name: 'totalPayments',
filter: {
    all: true,
    rules: [
    ]
}

The basic component can takes two props, filter and fields. filter is a rule group, and fields is an array of fields. A field looks like: { name: 'firstName', label: 'First Name', operations: [["Starts With", "startWith"]] }

The component will emit update:filter so you can use the .sync modifier.

The component comes with a built in UI, and there is a stylesheet which can be included as well, to get the default look and feel. Alternatively, a scoped slot can be provided instead, for the ultimate in flexibility.
