Vue.js syntax highlighting made easy, using highlight.js.

In your main JavaScript file (eg. main.js):

1// Import Vue and vue-highlgihtjs
2import Vue from 'vue'
3import VueHighlightJS from 'vue-highlightjs'
4import 'highlight.js/styles/default.css' // or other highlight.js theme
5
6// Tell Vue.js to use vue-highlightjs
7Vue.use(VueHighlightJS)

In your template, in order to highlight javascript code:

1<!-- If your source-code lives in a variable called 'sourcecode' -->
2<pre v-highlightjs="sourcecode"><code class="javascript"></code></pre>

4<!-- If you want to highlight hardcoded source-code -->
5<pre v-highlightjs><code class="javascript">const s = new Date().toString()</code></pre>
