This article provides a step-by-step guide for setting up a Vue 2 project using Vue-CLI and integrating the Syncfusion Vue AI AssistView component using the Composition API / Options API.
Prerequisites
System requirements for Syncfusion Vue UI components
Setting up the Vue 2 project
To generate a Vue 2 project using Vue-CLI, use the vue create command. Follow these steps to install Vue CLI and create a new project:
npm install -g @vue/cli
vue create quickstart
cd quickstart
npm run serve
or
yarn global add @vue/cli
vue create quickstart
cd quickstart
yarn run serve
When creating a new project, choose the option Default ([Vue 2] babel, eslint)
from the menu.
Once the quickstart
project is set up with default settings, proceed to add Syncfusion components to the project
Add Syncfusion Vue packages
Syncfusion packages are available at npmjs.com. To use Vue components, install the required npm package.
This article uses the Vue AI AssistView component
as an example. Install the @syncfusion/ej2-vue-interactive-chat
package by running the following command:
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-vue-interactive-chat --save
or
yarn add @syncfusion/ej2-vue-interactive-chat
Import Syncfusion CSS styles
You can import themes for the Syncfusion Vue component in various ways, such as using CSS or SASS styles from npm packages, CDN, CRG and Theme Studio. Refer to themes topic to know more about built-in themes and different ways to refer to themes in a Vue project.
In this article, the Material
theme is applied using CSS styles, which are available in installed packages. The necessary Material
CSS styles for the AI AssistView component and its dependents were imported into the <style>
section of src/App.vue file.
<style>
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-navigations/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-notifications/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-interactive-chat/styles/material.css";
</style>
Add Syncfusion Vue component
Follow the below steps to add the Vue AI AssistView component using Composition API
or Options API
:
1. First, import and register the AI AssistView component in the script
section of the src/App.vue file. If you are using the Composition API
, you should add the setup
attribute to the script
tag to indicate that Vue will be using the Composition API
.
<script setup>
import { AIAssistViewComponent as EjsAiassistview } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-interactive-chat";
</script>
<script>
import { AIAssistViewComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-interactive-chat";
export default {
components: {
'ejs-aiassistview': AIAssistViewComponent
},
data () {
return {
}
}
}
</script>
2. In the template
section, define the AI AssistView component.
<template>
<div id="app">
<div id='container' style="height: 300px; width:500px;">
<br>
<ejs-aiassistview></ejs-aiassistview>
</div>
</div>
</template>
Run the application
To run the application, use the following command:
npm run serve
or
yarn run serve
Configure suggestions and responses
You can use the promptSuggestions property to add prompt suggestions and the promptRequest event to add responses when the prompt matches the specified prompts data otherwise, the default response will be displayed.
<template>
<div id='container' style="height: 350px; width: 650px;">
<br>
<ejs-aiassistview id='aiAssistView' ref="aiassist" :prompt-suggestions="promptSuggestions" :prompt-request="onPromptRequest"></ejs-aiassistview>
</div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { AIAssistViewComponent as EjsAiassistview } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-interactive-chat";
import { ref } from "vue";
let aiassist = ref(null);
const promptSuggestions = [
"How do I prioritize my tasks?",
"How can I improve my time management skills?"
];
const prompts = [
{
prompt: "How do I prioritize my tasks?",
response: "Prioritize tasks by urgency and impact: tackle high-impact tasks first, delegate when possible, and break large tasks into smaller steps. For more assistance, feel free to ask—I’m here to help!"
},
{
prompt: "How can I improve my time management skills?",
response: "To improve time management skills, try setting clear goals, using a planner or digital tools, prioritizing tasks, breaking tasks into smaller steps, and minimizing distractions. Regularly review and adjust your approach for better efficiency."
}
];
const onPromptRequest = (args) => {
setTimeout(() => {
let foundPrompt = prompts.find((promptObj) => promptObj.prompt === args.prompt);
let defaultResponse = 'For real-time prompt processing, connect the AI AssistView component to your preferred AI service, such as OpenAI or Azure Cognitive Services. Ensure you obtain the necessary API credentials to authenticate and enable seamless integration.';
aiassist.value.addPromptResponse(foundPrompt ? foundPrompt.response : defaultResponse);
}, 2000);
}
