vue-disqus-count

Vue Plugin for embedding Disqus comment count.

Installation

npm install --save vue-disqus-count

yarn add vue-disqus-count

Import

Global Registration

import Vue from 'vue'
import VueDisqusCount from 'vue-disqus-count'

Vue.use(VueDisqusCount, {
  shortname: YOUR_DISQUS_SHORTNAME
})

Not Using Webpack

If you don't use webpack (for example in CodePen etc):

<script src="node-modules/vue-disqus-count/dist/vue-disqus-count.umd.js"></script>

or use unpkg

<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue-disqus-count/dist/vue-disqus-count.umd.js"></script>

and then you still need to install it:

Vue.use(VueDisqusCount, {
  shortname: YOUR_DISQUS_SHORTNAME
})

Basic Usage

Create an account at Disqus and obtain the shortname for your app, it's required when you register the plugin.

Vue.use(VueDisqusCount, {
  shortname: YOUR_DISQUS_SHORTNAME
})

The next thing that is important is, you can not use url with hash mode (if your url have #/ this thing, it won't work). So if you use vue-router, make sure it's in history mode.

It is caused by Disqus doesn't support #/, but they support #!/ path.

You can use only identifier or only url, or both.

<template>
  ...
  <vue-disqus-count :identifier="identifier"/>
  <vue-disqus-count :url="url" />
  <vue-disqus-count :identifier="identifier" :url="url" />
  ...
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data () {
      return {
        identifier: '',
        url: '',
      }
    },
    mounted() {
      // Could work with async data
      // It needs identifier and url not empty before updated
      fetchData().then((response) => {
        this.identifier = response.identifer
        this.url = response.url
      })
    }
  }
</script>

Caveats

As I have said before, you can not use hash mode. Use history mode. Or if you really want to use hash mode, you need to use hashbang (#!/) rather than hash (#/).

Question?

If you have question, just post in issues.

Usage no npm install needed!
