Overview

singlepage-js allows you to build your Web application by assembling a collection of Vue.js components.Each Vue component is defined in its own file in a format called Single File Component. You simply have to place the SFC files for all your components in src/components directory of your application. singlepage-js will compile the component code to Javascript and either serve it from memory in the development mode or place the compiled JS file in client/components directory. Components are loaded in the browser only when they are displayed the first time. The delayed loading keeps the initial code size small and improves response.

singlepage-js does not impose any special requirements on your Vue components but you can optionally choose to utilize additional framework functionality. Every Vue component registered with singlepage-js has access to $app object that acts as a gateway to other singlepage-js objects that expose framework functionality. A listing of these helper objects is given below. Subsequent sections in this documentation provide more details on how to use them.
