<!-- import vue -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue"></script>

<!-- import neko -->
<script src="./neko.umd.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./neko.css">

<div id="app">
  <neko ref="neko" server="http://127.0.0.1:3000/api" autologin autoplay />
</div>

<script>
new Vue({
  components: { neko },
  mounted() {
    // access state
    // this.$refs.neko.state.session_id
  
    // call methods
    // this.$refs.neko.setUrl('http://127.0.0.1:3000/api')
    // this.$refs.neko.login('username', 'password')
    // this.$refs.neko.logout()
  
    // subscribe to events
    // this.$refs.neko.events.on('room.control.host', (id) => { })
  },
}).$mount('#app')
</script>
```
