Recently, I decided to incorporate PrimeVue and PrimeFlex into my Vue 3 custom Element. To achieve this, I created a Component using the .ce.vue extension for the sfc mode and utilized defineCustomElement along with customElements.define to compile it as a web component. Afterward, I implemented it in the index.html file to test its functionality in the Browser.
While the setup partially worked, there were some issues. One key challenge was figuring out how to translate app.use(PrimeVue) for my specific case.
//customElement.ce.vue
<template>
<div>Test</div>
<AutoComplete field="name" />
</template>
<script lang="ts">
import { defineComponent } from "vue";
import AutoComplete from "primevue/autocomplete";
export default defineComponent({
name: "customElement",
props: {
msg: String,
},
components: { AutoComplete },
setup: () => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(theme));
return { PrimeVue };
},
styles: [],
});
</script>
<style scoped lang="scss"></style>
//main.ts
import { createApp, defineCustomElement } from "vue";
import App from "./App.vue";
//PrimeVue
import PrimeVue from "primevue/config";
import "/node_modules/primeflex/primeflex.css";
import "primevue/resources/primevue.min.css";
import "primevue/resources/themes/saga-blue/theme.css";
//CustomElement
import customElement from "@/components/customElement.ce.vue";
const customElementWC = defineCustomElement(customElement);
customElements.define("custom-element", customElementWC);
//Setting up VueApplication for testing/reference, which is functioning correctly.
const app = createApp(App);
app.use(PrimeVue);
app.mount("#app");
//index.html (for testing)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="">

<div id="app"></div> //test app
<custom-element /> //the custom Web Component
<!-- built files will be auto injected -->
</body>
</html>
Although the PrimeVue-Autocomplete feature displays, the styles are not rendering correctly.
Therefore, my primary question remains:
How can I fully utilize all aspects of PrimeVue within a custom Component?
In simple terms, how do I configure a Vue 3 CustomElement with PrimeVue successfully?
