I’m having trouble adding the vue-star-rating package to my Nuxt.js project. I’m pretty new to Nuxt and I’ve tried a few things but nothing seems to work. Here’s what I’ve done so far:

In my plugins/rating-stars.js file:

import Vue from 'vue'
import RatingStars from 'vue-star-rating'
Vue.use(RatingStars)

And in my nuxt.config.js:

plugins: [{ src: '~/plugins/rating-stars.js', mode: 'client' }],
build: {
  extend(config, ctx) {},
  transpile: ['rating-stars']
}

But I’m getting errors about mismatched server and client rendering, and unknown custom elements. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong or how to fix this? Thanks!

I encountered a similar issue when integrating vue-star-rating into my Nuxt project. The solution that worked for me was to use a slightly different approach. Instead of using Vue.use(), try importing the component directly in the file where you want to use it. Here’s what I did:

In the component file:

import StarRating from 'vue-star-rating'

export default {
  components: {
    StarRating
  }
}

Then in the template:

<star-rating :rating="3.5"></star-rating>

This method avoids server-side rendering issues. Also, make sure you’ve installed the package correctly with npm or yarn. If you’re still facing problems, double-check your Nuxt version compatibility with the vue-star-rating package.

import the component where u need it, like:

import StarRating from ‘vue-star-rating’

export default {
components: { StarRating }

As someone who’s been working with Nuxt.js for a while now, I can tell you that integrating third-party Vue packages can sometimes be tricky. In your case, I’d suggest a slightly different approach that’s worked well for me in the past.

Instead of using a plugin, try importing the component directly in your pages or components where you need it. This method often sidesteps SSR issues. Here’s what I typically do:

In the component where I want to use the star rating:

import StarRating from 'vue-star-rating'

export default {
  components: {
    StarRating
  }
}

Then in the template, I just use it like any other component:

<star-rating :rating="3.5"></star-rating>

This approach has consistently worked for me across various Nuxt projects. If you’re still running into issues, it might be worth checking if there’s a Nuxt-specific version of the package available. Some popular Vue packages have Nuxt-compatible versions that handle SSR more gracefully.
