Composition API plugin for Vue 2

Overview:

The @vue/composition-api is a Vue 2 plugin that brings the Composition API to Vue applications. With the release of Vue 2.7, which includes the Composition API built-in, this plugin is now entering maintenance mode and will only support Vue 2.6 or earlier until it reaches End of Life by the end of 2022.

Features:

  • Installation via NPM: Easily install @vue/composition-api as a plugin with Vue.use() to leverage the Composition API.
  • CDN Support: Include @vue/composition-api after Vue for automatic installation, with exposure to the global variable window.VueCompositionAPI.
  • TypeScript Support: Requires TypeScript version >4.2 for proper type inference in Vue component options.
  • SSR Implementation: Implements the onServerPrefetch lifecycle hook for server-side rendering (SSR) in the absence of a definitive Vue 3 API.
  • Browser Compatibility: Supports all modern browsers and IE11+ with the option to install a WeakMap polyfill for lower IE versions.
  • Limitations: Provides workarounds for limitations like Template Refs and reactivity differences between Vue 2 and Vue 3.

npm install @vue/composition-api

Typescript

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
