@astrojs/ vue

This Astro integration enables rendering and client-side hydration for your Vue 3 components.

Installation

Astro includes an astro add command to automate the setup of official integrations. If you prefer, you can install integrations manually instead.

To install @astrojs/vue, run the following from your project directory and follow the prompts:

npx astro add vue

pnpm astro add vue

yarn astro add vue

If you run into any issues, feel free to report them to us on GitHub and try the manual installation steps below.

Manual Install

First, install the @astrojs/vue package:

npm install @astrojs/vue

pnpm add @astrojs/vue

yarn add @astrojs/vue

Most package managers will install associated peer dependencies as well. If you see a “Cannot find package ‘vue’” (or similar) warning when you start up Astro, you’ll need to install Vue:

npm install vue

pnpm add vue

yarn add vue

Then, apply the integration to your astro.config.* file using the integrations property:

import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import vue from '@astrojs/vue';

export default defineConfig({
  // ...
  integrations: [vue()],
});

Getting started

To use your first Vue component in Astro, head to our UI framework documentation. You’ll explore:

📦 how framework components are loaded,
💧 client-side hydration options, and
🤝 opportunities to mix and nest frameworks together

Options

This integration is powered by @vitejs/plugin-vue. To customize the Vue compiler, options can be provided to the integration. See the @vitejs/plugin-vue docs for more details.

import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import vue from '@astrojs/vue';

export default defineConfig({
  // ...
  integrations: [
    vue({
      template: {
        compilerOptions: {
          // treat any tag that starts with ion- as custom elements
          isCustomElement: (tag) => tag.startsWith('ion-'),
        },
      },
      // ...
    }),
  ],
});

appEntrypoint

You can extend the Vue app instance setting the appEntrypoint option to a root-relative import specifier (for example, appEntrypoint: "/src/pages/_app").

The default export of this file should be a function that accepts a Vue App instance prior to rendering, allowing the use of custom Vue plugins, app.use, and other customizations for advanced use cases.

import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import vue from '@astrojs/vue';

export default defineConfig({
  // ...
  integrations: [vue({ appEntrypoint: '/src/pages/_app' })],
});

import type { App } from 'vue';
import i18nPlugin from 'my-vue-i18n-plugin';

export default (app: App) => {
  app.use(i18nPlugin);
};

jsx

You can use Vue JSX by setting jsx: true.

import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import vue from '@astrojs/vue';

export default defineConfig({
  // ...
  integrations: [vue({ jsx: true })],
});

This will enable rendering for both Vue and Vue JSX components. To customize the Vue JSX compiler, pass an options object instead of a boolean. See the @vitejs/plugin-vue-jsx docs for more details.

import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import vue from '@astrojs/vue';

export default defineConfig({
  // ...
  integrations: [
    vue({
      jsx: {
        // treat any tag that starts with ion- as custom elements
        isCustomElement: (tag) => tag.startsWith('ion-'),
      },
    }),
  ],
});

devtools

Added in: @astrojs/vue@4.2.0

You can enable Vue DevTools in development by passing an object with devtools: true to your vue() integration config:

import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import vue from '@astrojs/vue';

export default defineConfig({
  // ...
  integrations: [vue({ devtools: true })],
});

Customizing Vue DevTools

Added in: @astrojs/vue@4.3.0

For more customization, you can instead pass options that the Vue DevTools Vite Plugin supports. (Note: appendTo is not supported.)

For example, you can set launchEditor to your preferred editor if you are not using Visual Studio Code:

import { defineConfig } from "astro/config";
import vue from "@astrojs/vue";

export default defineConfig({
  // ...
  integrations: [
    vue({
      devtools: { launchEditor: "webstorm" },
    }),
  ],
});
