Vue.js component: Beautiful code highlighter

Sooner than later I will render forum discussions in Vue.js to complement the standard way of showing forum threads.

Today, I ran across this component, vue-code-highlight

Beautiful code syntax highlighting as Vue.js component.

Image

Usage

Code:
npm install vue-code-highlight --save

We can use this module in two different ways, as a component or as a directive.

Component

Code:
//We have to extract the component from the module
import { component as VueCodeHighlight } from 'vue-code-highlight';

components:{
  VueCodeHighlight,
  ...
}

HTML

Code:
<vue-code-highlight>
 //Paste code and output snippets here
</vue-code-highlight>


Window styles are already present in a component mode, but we will need to select and include a theme to properly highlight code. (See the themes section.)

Directive

In the main file:

Code:
import VueCodeHighlight from 'vue-code-highlight';

Vue.use(VueCodeHighlight) //registers the v-highlight directive

And then in any Vue component:

Code:
<div v-highlight >
 ...
</div>

HTML

All markup under the div element having the following structure will be syntax highlighted.

Code:
<pre class="language-javascript">
  <code>
    //your code goes here
  </code>
</pre>

HTML

To give the highlighter a window look in a directive mode, include the ./node_modules/vue-code-highlight/themes/window.css file somewhere in the app.

Themes

In order to visually highlight code, we need to select a theme from ./node_modules/vue-code-highlight/themes/ and import it somewhere into the component/application.

Also, this is a possibility:

GitHub Highlight.js

Quote:
Highlight.js is a syntax highlighter written in JavaScript. It works in the browser as well as on the server. It works with pretty much any markup, doesn't depend on any framework, and has automatic language detection.
