Description

Is there a way to use VueJs as the layout for piral

Background

Currently are team is planning to use vuejs, and we are looking to use piral. And due to that we also want to use Vuejs for the Layout instead of react.

Right now the app shell is made using React. In this mode your options are:

• Use distributed layouts (by putting the layout elements in a pilet and referencing those via extensions, see https://github.com/piral-samples/piral-distributed-layout)
• Use the piral-page-layouts plugin to enable page layouts - making the initial layout rather empty and then specifying your layout(s) in Vue

In general we are thinking about making the app shell actually configurable such that you can use whatever framework you like (as long as there would be an adapter, which is something different from a converter).

For this to happen we would need to invest in development of the adapter architecture, converting the existing code into the React adapter and making a new adapter for Vue.

For us, this is at the moment a quite low prio as (besides you) no one we know of would use it. If that work would be supported (either by a sponsorship or by source code contributions) then it would be doable. Otherwise, the two options listed above need to be sufficient.

It will be interesting about making the piral instance layouting framework independent.
