BlogNow SDK Integration Prompt for Vue 3 Projects
Context
You are an expert Vue.js developer tasked with integrating BlogNow SDK into a Vue 3 project to create a complete blog system. Based on the analysis of production implementations, create all necessary files and configurations for a fully functional blog with the following requirements:
Pre-Implementation Analysis
1. Check Existing Project Setup
Before implementing, analyze the existing project to understand:
Build Tool:
- Check if the project uses Vite, Vue CLI, or Webpack
- Vite is the recommended and modern approach for Vue 3
- Check
vite.config.js/ts
orvue.config.js
State Management Library:
- Check if the project uses Pinia (recommended for Vue 3), Vuex, or another state management solution
- Look for existing stores in
src/stores
,src/store
, or similar directories - Check
package.json
for state management dependencies - If no state management exists, ask the user: "No state management library detected. Would you like to proceed with Pinia (recommended for Vue 3), or do you prefer Vuex?"
Icon Library:
- Check if the project uses any icon library (lucide-vue-next, @iconify/vue, heroicons-vue, etc.)
- Look for existing icon imports in components
- Check
package.json
for icon library dependencies - If no icon library exists, proceed with lucide-vue-next
UI Component Library:
- Check if the project uses Vuetify, PrimeVue, Naive UI, Element Plus, or other component libraries
- Look for existing component patterns and styling approaches
- Adapt the implementation to match the existing UI patterns
Router:
- Confirm Vue Router is installed and configured
- Check the router mode (history, hash)
- Look for existing routing patterns
Styling:
- Check if the project uses Tailwind CSS, SCSS, CSS modules, or plain CSS
- Adapt the styling approach to match the existing setup
Project Setup Requirements
1. Package Installation
Install the required dependencies:
# Core BlogNow SDK (always required) npm install @blognow/sdk # State management (install only if not already present) npm install pinia # recommended for Vue 3 # or npm install vuex # if preferred # Icons (install only if not already present) npm install lucide-vue-next # Router (install only if not already present) npm install vue-router # If using Tailwind CSS (only if not already in project): npm install -D tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer npx tailwindcss init -p
2. Environment Configuration
Create/update .env
:
VITE_BLOGNOW_API_KEY=your_public_api_key_here VITE_BLOGNOW_BASE_URL=https://api.blognow.tech
Security Note: BlogNow SDK only requires the public API key (VITE_BLOGNOW_API_KEY
) which is safe for client-side use. No private API key or server-side routes are needed.
3. Vite Configuration
Update vite.config.ts
to add path alias:
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'; import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'; import { fileURLToPath, URL } from 'node:url'; export default defineConfig({ plugins: [vue()], resolve: { alias: { '@': fileURLToPath(new URL('./src', import.meta.url)) } } });
Core Implementation Files
4. BlogNow Client Configuration (src/lib/blognow.ts
)
import { BlogNowClient } from '@blognow/sdk'; let blogClient: BlogNowClient | null = null; const apiKey = import.meta.env.VITE_BLOGNOW_API_KEY; const baseUrl = import.meta.env.VITE_BLOGNOW_BASE_URL; export const createBlogNowClient = async () => { if (!blogClient) { if (!apiKey) { throw new Error( 'VITE_BLOGNOW_API_KEY is not configured in environment variables' ); } blogClient = new BlogNowClient({ apiKey, baseUrl }); } return blogClient; };
5. Blog Store with Pinia (src/stores/blog.ts
)
Note: Adapt this implementation to match the project's existing state management library.
If using Pinia (recommended for Vue 3):
import { defineStore } from 'pinia'; import { ref, computed } from 'vue'; import { createBlogNowClient } from '@/lib/blognow'; import type { Post, PaginatedResponse } from '@blognow/sdk'; export const useBlogStore = defineStore('blog', () => { // State const posts = ref<Post[]>([]); const currentPost = ref<Post | null>(null); const loading = ref(false); const error = ref<string | null>(null); const pagination = ref({ total: 0, page: 1, size: 10, pages: 0 }); const searchQuery = ref(''); const selectedTag = ref<string | null>(null); // Getters const filteredPosts = computed(() => { let result = posts.value; if (searchQuery.value) { result = result.filter(post => post.title.toLowerCase().includes(searchQuery.value.toLowerCase()) ); } if (selectedTag.value) { result = result.filter(post => post.tags?.some(tag => tag.name === selectedTag.value) ); } return result; }); // Actions const fetchPosts = async ( page = 1, size = 10, query = '', sortBy: 'created_at' | 'updated_at' | 'published_at' = 'published_at', sortOrder: 'asc' | 'desc' = 'desc' ) => { try { loading.value = true; error.value = null; const blogClient = await createBlogNowClient(); const result: PaginatedResponse<Post> = await blogClient.posts.getPublishedPosts({ page, size, query, sort_by: sortBy, sort_order: sortOrder, }); if (page === 1) { posts.value = result.items; } else { posts.value = [...posts.value, ...result.items]; } pagination.value = { page: result.page || 1, size: result.size || 10, total: result.total || 0, pages: result.pages || 0, }; } catch (err) { error.value = err instanceof Error ? err.message : 'Failed to fetch posts'; } finally { loading.value = false; } }; const fetchPostBySlug = async (slug: string) => { try { loading.value = true; error.value = null; const blogClient = await createBlogNowClient(); const result = await blogClient.posts.getPost(slug); currentPost.value = result; } catch (err) { error.value = err instanceof Error ? err.message : 'Failed to fetch post'; } finally { loading.value = false; } }; const filterByTag = (tag: string | null) => { selectedTag.value = tag; }; const setSearchQuery = (query: string) => { searchQuery.value = query; }; const clearCurrentPost = () => { currentPost.value = null; }; const resetPagination = () => { pagination.value = { page: 1, size: 10, total: 0, pages: 0 }; }; return { // State posts, currentPost, loading, error, pagination, searchQuery, selectedTag, // Getters filteredPosts, // Actions fetchPosts, fetchPostBySlug, filterByTag, setSearchQuery, clearCurrentPost, resetPagination, }; });
If using Vuex:
import { createStore } from 'vuex'; import { createBlogNowClient } from '@/lib/blognow'; import type { Post } from '@blognow/sdk'; interface BlogState { posts: Post[]; currentPost: Post | null; loading: boolean; error: string | null; pagination: { total: number; page: number; size: number; pages: number; }; searchQuery: string; selectedTag: string | null; } export default createStore<BlogState>({ state: { posts: [], currentPost: null, loading: false, error: null, pagination: { total: 0, page: 1, size: 10, pages: 0 }, searchQuery: '', selectedTag: null, }, mutations: { SET_POSTS(state, posts: Post[]) { state.posts = posts; }, APPEND_POSTS(state, posts: Post[]) { state.posts = [...state.posts, ...posts]; }, SET_CURRENT_POST(state, post: Post | null) { state.currentPost = post; }, SET_LOADING(state, loading: boolean) { state.loading = loading; }, SET_ERROR(state, error: string | null) { state.error = error; }, SET_PAGINATION(state, pagination: BlogState['pagination']) { state.pagination = pagination; }, SET_SEARCH_QUERY(state, query: string) { state.searchQuery = query; }, SET_SELECTED_TAG(state, tag: string | null) { state.selectedTag = tag; }, }, actions: { async fetchPosts({ commit }, { page = 1, size = 10, query = '' } = {}) { commit('SET_LOADING', true); commit('SET_ERROR', null); try { const blogClient = await createBlogNowClient(); const result = await blogClient.posts.getPublishedPosts({ page, size, query, sort_by: 'published_at', sort_order: 'desc', }); if (page === 1) { commit('SET_POSTS', result.items); } else { commit('APPEND_POSTS', result.items); } commit('SET_PAGINATION', { page: result.page || 1, size: result.size || 10, total: result.total || 0, pages: result.pages || 0, }); } catch (error) { commit('SET_ERROR', error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Failed to fetch posts'); } finally { commit('SET_LOADING', false); } }, async fetchPostBySlug({ commit }, slug: string) { commit('SET_LOADING', true); commit('SET_ERROR', null); try { const blogClient = await createBlogNowClient(); const post = await blogClient.posts.getPost(slug); commit('SET_CURRENT_POST', post); } catch (error) { commit('SET_ERROR', error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Failed to fetch post'); } finally { commit('SET_LOADING', false); } }, }, });
6. Router Configuration (src/router/index.ts
)
import { createRouter, createWebHistory } from 'vue-router'; import BlogList from '@/views/BlogList.vue'; import BlogPost from '@/views/BlogPost.vue'; const router = createRouter({ history: createWebHistory(import.meta.env.BASE_URL), routes: [ { path: '/', redirect: '/blog' }, { path: '/blog', name: 'blog', component: BlogList, meta: { title: 'Blog', description: 'Insights, updates, and stories from our team' } }, { path: '/blog/:slug', name: 'blog-post', component: BlogPost, meta: { title: 'Blog Post' } } ], scrollBehavior(to, from, savedPosition) { if (savedPosition) { return savedPosition; } else { return { top: 0 }; } } }); export default router;
7. SEO Composable (src/composables/useSEO.ts
)
import { watch, onMounted } from 'vue'; import type { Post } from '@blognow/sdk'; interface SEOConfig { title: string; description: string; image?: string; url?: string; type?: 'website' | 'article'; publishedTime?: string; author?: string; } export function useSEO(config: SEOConfig | (() => SEOConfig)) { const updateMetaTags = () => { const seoConfig = typeof config === 'function' ? config() : config; // Update document title document.title = seoConfig.title; const updateMetaTag = (name: string, content: string, property = false) => { const selector = property ? `meta[property="${name}"]` : `meta[name="${name}"]`; let meta = document.querySelector(selector) as HTMLMetaElement; if (!meta) { meta = document.createElement('meta'); meta.setAttribute(property ? 'property' : 'name', name); document.head.appendChild(meta); } meta.setAttribute('content', content); }; // Basic meta tags updateMetaTag('description', seoConfig.description); // Open Graph tags updateMetaTag('og:title', seoConfig.title, true); updateMetaTag('og:description', seoConfig.description, true); updateMetaTag('og:type', seoConfig.type || 'website', true); if (seoConfig.image) { updateMetaTag('og:image', seoConfig.image, true); } if (seoConfig.url) { updateMetaTag('og:url', seoConfig.url, true); } // Twitter Card tags updateMetaTag('twitter:card', 'summary_large_image'); updateMetaTag('twitter:title', seoConfig.title); updateMetaTag('twitter:description', seoConfig.description); if (seoConfig.image) { updateMetaTag('twitter:image', seoConfig.image); } // Article specific tags if (seoConfig.type === 'article') { if (seoConfig.publishedTime) { updateMetaTag('article:published_time', seoConfig.publishedTime, true); } if (seoConfig.author) { updateMetaTag('article:author', seoConfig.author, true); } } }; onMounted(() => { updateMetaTags(); }); // If config is reactive, watch for changes if (typeof config === 'function') { watch(() => config(), updateMetaTags, { deep: true }); } } // Helper composable for blog posts export function useBlogPostSEO(post: Post | null) { useSEO(() => { if (!post) { return { title: 'Blog | Your Company Name', description: 'Insights, updates, and stories from our team', type: 'website' as const }; } return { title: post.title, description: post.excerpt, image: post.og_image_url, url: `${window.location.origin}/blog/${post.slug}`, type: 'article' as const, publishedTime: post.published_at, author: post.author ? `${post.author.first_name} ${post.author.last_name}` : undefined, }; }); }

10. Share Button Component (src/components/blog/ShareButton.vue
)
<template> <button v-if="variant === 'button'" @click="sharePost" class="bg-blue-600 text-white px-4 py-2 rounded-lg hover:bg-blue-700 transition-colors flex items-center gap-2" > <Share2 class="h-4 w-4" /> Share Article </button> <button v-else @click="sharePost" class="flex items-center gap-2 text-blue-600 hover:text-blue-800" > <Share2 class="h-4 w-4" /> <span>Share</span> </button> </template> <script setup lang="ts"> import { Share2 } from 'lucide-vue-next'; interface Props { title: string; excerpt?: string; url: string; variant?: 'link' | 'button'; } const props = withDefaults(defineProps<Props>(), { variant: 'link' }); const sharePost = async () => { const fullUrl = `${window.location.origin}${props.url}`; if (navigator.share) { try { await navigator.share({ title: props.title, text: props.excerpt, url: fullUrl, }); } catch (error) { console.log('Error sharing:', error); navigator.clipboard.writeText(fullUrl); } } else { navigator.clipboard.writeText(fullUrl); } }; </script>
11. Main App Entry (src/main.ts
)
import { createApp } from 'vue'; import { createPinia } from 'pinia'; // or import your Vuex store import App from './App.vue'; import router from './router'; import './assets/main.css'; // Your global styles const app = createApp(App); app.use(createPinia()); // or app.use(store) for Vuex app.use(router); app.mount('#app');
12. Styling for Blog Content (src/assets/main.css
)
Add these styles to your main CSS file:
@tailwind base; @tailwind components; @tailwind utilities; div.blog-content { h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { @apply font-bold tracking-normal; } h1 { @apply text-3xl/12 md:text-5xl/14 lg:text-6xl/16; } h2 { @apply text-2xl/9 md:text-4xl/12; } h3 { @apply text-2xl md:text-3xl; } h4 { @apply text-xl md:text-2xl; } section { @apply py-16 md:py-24; } a { @apply underline text-blue-600 hover:text-blue-800 visited:text-purple-600; } p { @apply mb-4; } ul, ol { @apply ml-6 mb-4; } ul { @apply list-disc; } ol { @apply list-decimal; } li { @apply mb-2; } img { @apply rounded-lg my-4; } blockquote { @apply border-l-4 border-gray-300 pl-4 italic my-4; } code { @apply bg-gray-100 px-2 py-1 rounded text-sm; } pre { @apply bg-gray-100 p-4 rounded-lg overflow-x-auto my-4; } pre code { @apply bg-transparent p-0; } }
