Vue 2 repository overview This repository hosts Vue 2, the previous major line of the Vue.js progressive framework for building user interfaces. The README opens with an explicit notice: Vue 2 reached End of Life on December 31, 2023. The project no longer receives new features, updates, or fixes, and the repository is described as inactive. Maintained development of Vue now happens in the separate vuejs/core repository, which hosts the current 3.x line. Design approach Vue is presented as a progressive framework that is incrementally adoptable and can scale between a small library and a full framework depending on the use case. Its core library focuses on the view layer, while an ecosystem of companion libraries covers the concerns that appear in larger single-page applications. Lifecycle status and migration The README states that Vue 2 remains available on all existing distribution channels, including CDNs, package managers, and GitHub. Users starting new projects are advised to begin with Vue 3.x, and existing Vue 2 users are encouraged to follow the published migration guide at v3-migration.vuejs.org. The README also acknowledges that not every user has the capacity or reason to upgrade, and points to a third-party commercial support offering (Vue 2 NES by HeroDevs) for those who must remain on Vue 2 while having compliance or security requirements around unmaintained software. Ecosystem projects The repository lists companion projects maintained within the Vue organization: vue-router for single-page application routing, vuex for large-scale state management, vue-cli for project scaffolding, vue-loader as a webpack loader for Single File Components (*.vue files), vue-server-renderer for server-side rendering, vue-class-component for a TypeScript decorator-based class API, vue-rx for RxJS integration, and vue-devtools as a browser DevTools extension. Browser compatibility Vue.js supports browsers that are ES5-compliant. IE8 and earlier are not supported. Documentation, support, and contribution Live examples and documentation are available at v2.vuejs.org. Questions and support are directed to the official forum and community chat, while the repository's issue list is reserved exclusively for bug reports and feature requests, with an issue reporting checklist in the contributing guide. Release-by-release changes are documented in the repository's release notes. The project keeps a curated list of Vue-related projects, components, and tools (awesome-vue) that accepts pull requests, and it documents contribution guidelines in the repository. Development is funded through sponsors and backers. License Vue.js is an MIT-licensed open source project. Copyright is held by Yuxi (Evan) You, 2013 to present.
