USAGE

STEP 1

The module is installed with same name as your App Builder project. Import it just like any other node module into your desired Vue component.

<script>
import AgoraAppBuilder from "@appbuilder/web";
</script>

STEP 2

After importing the module your App Builder project can be rendered using the custom html element.

Make sure to provide necessary styling including a width and height on the parent element of the custom html element for proper scaling.

<template>
<div style="width: 100vw; height: 550px;">
<app-builder />
</div>
</template>

STEP 3

Start the development server inside your VueJS project directory with the following command

npm run serve


STEP 4

You should now see your App Builder project being displayed in your desired Vue component.

STEP 5

The app-builder-cli compiles your App Builder project into a node module inside the <Agora App Builder>/Builds/web-sdk folder. Simply install this module using the following command.

npm install <path-to-app-builder-project-folder>/Builds/web-sdk

CUSTOMIZATION

You can use Customization APIs to customize your embedded App Builder project.
Read this guide for more information

STEP 1

To create a Customization you need to access the createCustomization method on the imported AgoraAppBuilder object, which takes the UserCustomizationConfig as a parameter and returns a customization object.

<script>
import AgoraAppBuilder from "@appbuilder/web";
const customization = AgoraAppBuilder.createCustomization({
/*
My Customization Config. See https://appbuilder-docs.agora.io/customization-api/quickstart to get started with customizing!
*/
});
</script>

STEP 2

Pass the returned customization object to the customize method available under the same AgoraAppBuilder object to apply the config to your embedded App Builder project.

<script>
import AgoraAppBuilder from "@appbuilder/web";
const customization = AgoraAppBuilder.createCustomization({
/*
My Customization Config. See https://appbuilder-docs.agora.io/customization-api/quickstart to get started with customizing!
*/
});
AgoraAppBuilder.customize(customization);
</script>

STEP 3

You should now be able to see your customizations in action!
