functionalities in Vue using Vue quickstart seed repository.

Prerequisites

System requirements for Syncfusion Vue UI components

Dependencies

The following list of dependencies are required to use the Skeleton component in your application.

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-vue-notifications
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-vue-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-notifications

Installation and configuration

You can use Vue CLI to setup your vue applications.
To install Vue CLI use the following command.

npm install -g @vue/cli

npm install -g @vue/cli-init

Start a new project using below Vue CLI command.

vue init webpack-simple quickstart

cd quickstart

npm install

Install Syncfusion Skeleton packages using below command.

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-vue-notifications --save

Registering Skeleton component using Vue.use()

Import the Skeleton Plugin from the Essential JS 2 Vue package and register the same using Vue.use() with Component Plugin as its argument.

Refer to the code snippet given below.

import Vue from 'vue';
import { SkeletonPlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-notifications";

Vue.use(SkeletonPlugin);

export default {}

By registering component plugin in Vue, all child directives are also globally registered.
We can also use Vue.Component() to register Skeleton.

Refer here to know more about component registration.

Initialize Skeleton

Add the EJ2 Vue Skeleton using <ejs-skeleton> to the <template> section of the App.vue file in src directory.

<template>
    <div>
        <ejs-skeleton height='15px'></ejs-skeleton>
    </div>
</template>

<script>
    import Vue from 'vue';
    import { SkeletonPlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-notifications";

    Vue.use(SkeletonPlugin);

    export default {
        data: function () {
            return {};
        }
    }
</script>

<style>
    @import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";
    @import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-notifications/styles/material.css";
</style>

Run the application

Now run the npm run dev command in the console, it will build your application and open in the browser.

            return {};
        }
    }
</script>
