Installation

NPM

npm install vue-morphling --save

Yarn

yarn add vue-morphling

CDN

https://unpkg.com/vue-morphling/dist/vue-morphling.js

Usage

import Vue from 'vue';
import { VueMorphling } from 'vue-morphling';

// Use all filters and directives.
Vue.use(VueMorphling);

or

import Vue from 'vue';
import { morphDate, vMorphHighlight, morphLowerCase } from 'vue-morphling';

// Import only what you need.
Vue.use(morphDate);
Vue.use(vMorphHighlight);
Vue.use(morphLowerCase);

or

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.4.4/vue.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue-morphling/dist/vue-morphling.js"></script>

<script>
  Vue.use(VueMorphling.VueMorphling); // Use all
  // Or
  Vue.use(VueMorphling.morphDate); // Use morh-date filter only;
  Vue.use(VueMorphling.vMorphHighlight); // Use v-morh-highlight directive only;
  // Vue stuff here
</script>

All filters are available in the Vue instance as well, so they can d as vm.$morphCapitalize or this.$morphCapitalize if you are using single-file component.

All directive names should be prepended with v-, v-morph-url like so.

Morphling Filters

morph-age

import { morphAge } from 'vue-morphling';

<p>{{ new Date(1976,2,20) | morph-age }}</p>
<!-- 42 -->

const birthday = new Date(1976,2,20);
const age = this.$morphAge(birthday);
console.log(age); // 42 (if is still 2018)

morph-chop

import { morphChop } from 'vue-morphling';

This filter chops off a n length of character in a given string using the length option.

Syntax

morph-chop(length, location)

<p>{{ 'Papercut' | morph-chop(2) }}</p>
<!-- Paperc -->

<p>{{ 'Papercut' | morph-chop(3, 'end') }}</p>
<!-- Paper -->

<p>{{ 'Papercut' | morph-chop(2, 'start') }}</p>
<!-- percut -->

<p>{{ 'Papercut' | morph-chop(3, 'start') }}</p>
<!-- ercut -->

const msg1 = this.$morphChop('Papercut', 2);
const msg2 = this.$morphChop('Papercut', 3, 'end');
const msg3 = this.$morphChop('Papercut', 2, 'start');
const msg4 = this.$morphChop('Papercut', 2, 'start');

console.log(msg1); // Paperc

console.log(msg3); // percut
console.log(msg4); // ercut

API

option	value	default	required	description
length	any number	N/A	YES	Indicates the length of the string to be chopped off.
location	'start', 'end'	'end'	NO	If NOT specified, morph-chop will chop off the string from the end.

morph-date

morph-date has been removed see morph-date-format for the updated date formatting method. I removed this to give way to future morph-date-[foo] methods such as e.g. morph-date-diff-minutes.

morph-date-format

import { morphDateFormat } from 'vue-morphling';

Format any valid date using date-fns' format() function.

Syntax

morph-date-format(format)

Note - morph-date-format is now using using date-fns@v1.30.1.

<p>{{ new Date() | morph-date-format('MMM DD, YYYY') }}</p>
<!-- Jul 26, 2017 -->

<p>{{ new Date() | morph-date-format('YYYY') }}</p>
<!-- 2017 -->

<p>{{ new Date() | morph-date-format('[Today is a] dddd') }}</p>
<!-- Today is Wednesday -->

const date = new Date('1976-03-20');

const formatted = this.$morphDateFormat(date, 'MMM DD, YYYY');
const year = this.$morphDateFormat(date, 'YYYY');
const time = this.$morphDateFormat(new Date(), 'hh:mm A');

console.log(formatted); // Mar 20, 1976
console.log(year); // 1976
console.log(time); // 11:00 PM

API

All formats are available of course in the date-fns format documentation, but here are some common examples.

morph-file-size

import { morphFileSize } from 'vue-morphling';

Converts any number (as bytes) to its equivalent, KB, MB, GB, TB, PB, EB, ZB and YB.

Options

For setting decimal places use { base: number }. More options here.

<code>{{ 1024 | morph-file-size({ base: 0 }) }}</code>
<!-- 1 KB -->

<p>{{ 10000000000 | morph-file-size }}</p>
<!-- 9.30 GB -->

const date = new Date('1976-03-20');

const a = this.$morphFileSize(1024);
const b = this.$morphFileSize(10000000000);

console.log(a); // 1.0 Kb
console.log(b); // 9.3 Gb

---

morph-json

import { morphJson } from 'vue-morphling';

Pretty print JSON objects inside the <pre> tag.

Syntax

morph-json(indent)

<!-- const obj = {"favoriteBand":"Linkin Park"} -->
<pre>{{ obj | morph-json(2) }}</pre>
<!--
{
  "favoriteBand": "Linkin Park"
}
-->
<pre>{{ obj | morph-json('\t') }}</pre>
<!--
{
    "favoriteBand": "Linkin Park"
}
-->

const msg = this.$morphJson({"favoriteBand":"Linkin Park", 4})
console.log(msg);
// {
//    "favoriteBand": "Linkin Park"
// }

API

option	value	default	required	description
indent	any number or "\t"	N/A	Not really	The value indicates the number of indent using spaces. If "\t" is used, the json will be indented using tab.

morph-object-size

import { morphObjectSize } from 'vue-morphling';

Gets the bytes size (number) of any javascript object and converts it to it's equivalent KB, MB, GB, TB, PB, EB, ZB and YB.

Options

For setting decimal places use { base: number }. More options here.

<code>{{ obj1 | morph-object-size({ base: 0 }) }}</code>
<!-- 18 B -->

<p>{{ `Forget the wrong the i've done.` | morph-object-size({ base: 2 }) }}</p>
<!-- 33.00 B -->

const obj1 = {name:'Chester'};
const obj2 = `Forget the wrong the i've done.`;

const a = this.$morphObjectSize(obj1);

Morphling Directives

morph-url

import { vMorphUrl } from 'vue-morphling';

morph-url is currently in experimental stage. The current version has some limitations:

1. When a link/url appears twice in the string it will mess up the tags.

morph-url directive converts every link in a given element to an <a> tag.

Usage

v-morph-url, prepend v- to any directive name.

Before morphling

<p>
  My favorite websites are https://9gag.com and https://greenfox.me
</p>

After morphling

<p v-morph-url>
  My favorite websites are <a href="https://9gag.com" target="_blank">https://9gag.com</a> and <a href="https://greenfox.me" target="_blank">https://greenfox.me</a>
</p>

morph-highlight

import { vMorphHighlight } from 'vue-morphling';

This directive will highlight the any matching string with a color of your choice! Yep, just like a highlighter pen.

Usage

v-morph-highlight, prepend v- to any directive name.

Pass the params as string, like, 'cats::#7fad33' use :: as separator for the string to be highlighted and color. Syntax 'string::color' where string is any string and color is any color, hex color, rgb and rgba.

Before morphling

<p>
  Cats are the best dogs! I love cats!
</p>

After morphling

<p v-morph-highlight="'cats::#7fad33'">
  Cats are the best dogs! I love cats!
</p>

Debug

ERROR in build.js from UglifyJs

There is a known error when building a vue cli x webpack project that is using morphling.

ERROR in build.js from UglifyJs

Unexpected token: punc (() [../morphling/index.js:5,4][build.js:15630,10]

Fix:

1. Add es2015 and stage-2 presets to the .babelrc

2. Include morphling to the babel-loader in build/webpack.base.conf.js

build/webpack.base.conf.js

...
module: {
  rules: [
    ...
    {
      test: /\.js$/,
      loader: 'babel-loader',
      include: [resolve('src'), resolve('test'), resolve('node_modules/morphling')]
    }
    ...

"When my time comes, Forget the wrong that I've done, Help me leave behind some, Reasons to be missed, Don't resent me, And when you're feeling empty, Keep me in your memory, Leave out all the rest..."

In Memory of Chester Bennington (1976-2017)

I used Linkin Park songs as example strings to pay tribute to the death of Chester Bennington. One of my inspirations in music. Depression is very real, we may not fully understand it but it is very, very real. Talk to your loved ones, and cherish every moment with them. Happy coding.
