DevExtreme Vue - Link Modules

DevExtreme comes in pre-assembled bundles. dx.viz.js includes Charts, Gauges, Funnel, VectorMap, and other data visualization UI components. dx.web.js includes Grids, Scheduler, Form, and various editors. dx.all.js compile the previous two bundles. Bundles that include a particular UI component are listed on the UI component's overview page in the API reference.

Alternatively, you can use DevExtreme modules to import only the functionality you require. Unlike the bundles, modules are compact and can be loaded on demand. This optimizes memory consumption and speeds up your application.

You can create a smaller bundle from modules using Webpack or load modules using jspm or RequireJS.

Use Webpack

Install Webpack globally.
```
npm install webpack -g
```
Install the DevExtreme package in your application folder.
```
npm install devextreme
```

Define the Webpack configuration file.

JavaScript

var path = require('path');

module.exports = {
    entry: './index.js',
    output: {
        filename: 'bundle.js'
    }
};

Link the bundle script file to your application.

HTML

<script type="text/javascript" src="bundle.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Add DevExtreme themes.

HTML

<link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css">

Create your application's entry script and specify modules in it.
JavaScript
```
import "devextreme/ui/button";
...
```
Create the bundle.
```
webpack
```

Refer to the following examples to see how to use Webpack with jQuery, AngularJS, and Knockout on GitHub. The webpack.config.js, index.js, and index.html files contain the main code.

The following list shows additional modules each library/framework requires:

jQuery: DevExtreme jQuery integration module;
AngularJS: jQuery, DevExtreme AngularJS and jQuery integration modules;
Knockout: DevExtreme Knockout integration module.

Use jspm

Install jspm in your application folder.
```
npm install jspm
```
Install the DevExtreme package via jspm.
```
jspm install npm:devextreme
```

Link the system.js and configuration files to your HTML page.

HTML

<script src="jspm_packages/system.js"></script>
<script src="config.js"></script>

Create your application's entry script and specify modules in it.
JavaScript
```
import "devextreme/ui/button";
...
```
Import your application's main entry point on the HTML page.
HTML
```
<script>
    System.import('./index.js');
</script>
```

See examples of using jspm with jQuery, AngularJS, and Knockout on GitHub. The index.js and index.html files contain the main code.

The following list shows additional modules each library/framework requires:

jQuery: DevExtreme jQuery integration module;
AngularJS: jQuery, DevExtreme AngularJS and jQuery integration modules;
Knockout: DevExtreme Knockout integration module.

Use RequireJS

Install RequireJS and DevExtreme in your application folder.
```
npm install requirejs devextreme
```
Use the RequireJS conversion tool to convert the DevExtreme modules from CommonJS to AMD and save them in the devextreme_amd directory:
```
npx r_js -convert node_modules/devextreme/cjs devextreme_amd
```

Add DevExtreme themes to your application.

HTML

<link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css">

Link RequireJS and define its configuration object.

HTML

<script src="node_modules/requirejs/require.js"></script>
<script>
    require.config({ 
        // ... 
        paths: {
            // ...
            "devextreme": "devextreme_amd"
        }
    });
</script>

See examples of using RequireJS with jQuery, AngularJS, and Knockout on GitHub. The index.html file contains the main code.

The following list shows additional modules each library/framework requires:

jQuery: DevExtreme jQuery integration module;
AngularJS: jQuery, DevExtreme AngularJS and jQuery integration modules;
Knockout: DevExtreme Knockout integration module.

NOTE

We recommend using Webpack or jspm for better performance.
