Overview

Vue Literal Compiler is an innovative solution for developers looking to streamline their Vue.js components by allowing them to write templates, styles, and scripts directly in JavaScript or TypeScript files. This approach maintains the Single File Component (SFC) paradigm while simplifying the development process. By compiling templates into render functions at compile time, it enhances performance by shifting the workload from runtime to development time.

The motivation behind this tool is clear: ease of use. With Vue Literal Compiler, all code relevant to a component can reside in a single file, making it easier to manage and reason about your application's components. Additionally, it brings modern features like scoped CSS and support for various pre-processor languages, all while ensuring that the templates remain type-safe and lintable.

Features

Single File Component Paradigm: Write templates, styles, and scripts together in JavaScript/TypeScript, simplifying component management.
Compile-Time Rendering: Converts literal templates to render functions during compilation, improving runtime performance.
Scoped CSS Support: Allows styles to be scoped to specific components, preventing external styles from interfering.
Pre-Processor Integration: Supports SASS, SCSS, LESS, and more through the 'lang' attribute, giving developers flexibility in styling.
Custom Blocks Compatibility: Write additional blocks directly in JavaScript/TypeScript files to extend functionality.
Type Safe Templates: Ensures template bindings are type-safe, enhancing code reliability and reducing runtime errors.
Lintable Functional Templates: Encourages best practices in coding with templates that can be linted for quality assurance.
Option for Global Styles: The ability to make style tags optional for those who prefer global styling without explicit declaration.
