# Getting Started

# Installation

You can install via npm or yarn:

npm install vue-query-builder

If you are not using a bundler like Webpack, or just want to load the component via a <script> tag, you can use the Unpkg CDN. Don't forget to load Vue as well!

<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue-query-builder@0.7.1/dist/VueQueryBuilder.umd.min.js"></script>

# Usage

In your JavaScript (when using Webpack or another bundler):

import VueQueryBuilder from 'vue-query-builder';

new Vue({
    el: '#app',
    // See the Configuration page for formatting of the rules prop
    data: { rules: [] },
    components: { VueQueryBuilder }
});

In your template:

<vue-query-builder :rules="rules"></vue-query-builder>

If you're loading via a script tag, the component will be set as a global variable named VueQueryBuilder:

<div id="#app">
    <vue-query-builder :rules="rules"></vue-query-builder>
</div>

<script>
new Vue({
    el: '#app',
    data: { rules: [] },
    components: { VueQueryBuilder: window.VueQueryBuilder }
});
</script>

See more details on how to use the component in the Configuration section.
