talquei

🧐 Why?

Forget the boring and non-intuitive forms. With talquei you can quickly build fantastic forms as in the image above.

Demo

💻 Install

Install using your package manager:

$ yarn add talquei

Add into your app:

import Vue from 'vue'
import Talquei from 'talquei'

// import the styles 
import 'talquei/dist/talquei.min.css'

Vue.use(Talquei)

Or import into your component:

import { Talquei, TalqueiMessage } from 'talquei'

export default {
  components: {
    Talquei,
    TalqueiMessage
  }
}

⚙️ Usage

The Talquei component should wrapper any TalqueiMessage:

<template>
  <Talquei>
    <TalqueiMessage text="Hi! My name is Talquei!" />
    <TalqueiMessage text="I'm a plugin to help you." />
  </Talquei>
</template>

Request user input

You can request a user entry by prop or slot. The prop will basically inject your tag into a form and fill the entry in the v-model.

<template>
  <Talquei>
    <TalqueiMessage text="What's your name?" />
    <TalqueiMessage
      v-model="name"
      :input="{ tag: 'text', placeholder: 'Enter your name' }"
      is-user
    />
  </Talquei>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data: () => ({
    name: ''
  })
}
</script>

Format user input

When the user enters the text, you can format it using the prop template:

<template>
  <Talquei>
    <TalqueiMessage
      :input="{ tag: 'text', placeholder: 'Enter your name' }"
      template="My name is {text}"
      is-user
    />
  </Talquei>
</template>

Predefined answers

If you need predefined answers (such as the select or radio tag) you can set input.type = 'select' and pass your object in the options field:

<template>
  <Talquei>
    <TalqueiMessage text="Which front-end framework do you prefer?" />
    <TalqueiMessage
      v-model="name"
      :input="{ tag: 'select', options: frameworks }"
      is-user
    />
  </Talquei>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data: () => ({
    frameworks: {
      vue: 'Vue.js',
      angular: 'AngularJS',
      ember: 'Ember.js'
    }
  })
}
</script>

Conditional messages

Use when you want the v-if attribute to display conditional messages:

<template>
  <Talquei>
    <TalqueiMessage text="Which front-end framework do you prefer?" />
    <TalqueiMessage
      v-model="name"
      :input="{ tag: 'select', options: frameworks }"
      is-user
    />
    <TalqueiMessage text="What plugins do you usually use in your projects?" />
    <TalqueiMessage
      v-if="answer === 'vue'"
      v-model="plugin"
      :input="{ tag: 'text', placeholder: 'talquei' }"
      is-user
    />
  </Talquei>
</template>
</script>

Using slots

If you need to build more complex input (like validations, custom components) you can use slots. After the completion remeber to call the next() method from the Talquei component.

<template>
  <Talquei ref="talquei">
    <TalqueiMessage text="Hello">
      <form @submit.stop="onSubmit">
        <input ref="input" type="text">
        <button>Ok</button>
      </form>
    </TalqueiMessage>
  </Talquei>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  methods: {
    onSubmit () {
      this.name = this.$refs.input.value
      this.$refs.talquei.next()
    }
  }
}
</script>
