vuejs/core

Project Introduction

Vue.js is a progressive, incrementally adoptable JavaScript framework for building user interfaces on the web. Its core value is that you can start with a small enhancement to an existing page and scale to a full single-page application as needs grow, without committing to the whole framework at once. The repository hosts the framework runtime, compiler, and related packages published as vue on npm. It targets frontend developers, from those adding interactivity to static pages to teams building large component-based apps.

Getting Started

The README does not include setup commands; it directs readers to the official documentation at vuejs.org for getting started. A practical entry point is to install the published package from npm and follow the official guide:

1. Ensure a working Node.js and npm environment.
2. Install the package: npm install vue
3. Enter the framework through the documentation at vuejs.org, which covers project scaffolding, templates, and component usage.

The result of the install step is the vue package available in your project; the specific app setup steps are defined in the documentation rather than this README.

Usage Constraints

Vue is MIT-licensed, with copyright held by Yuxi (Evan) You from 2013 onward (MIT license). The project is written in TypeScript and builds are validated through its CI workflow (CI status). Questions and support belong in the official forum or community chat; GitHub issues are reserved for bug reports and feature requests, and contributors are asked to use the new issue helper and read the Contributing Guide before opening a pull request.

HotRepo's take

The project appeared on HotRepo's TypeScript weekly list dated 2026-11-12, where it ranked 3rd with 216 stars gained during that week, at 55,009 total stars and 9,336 forks. This is a single weekly snapshot for the TypeScript list, not an all-language daily rank, so it supports only that day's placement and gain rather than a trend. For a framework whose documentation and community entry points live outside the repository README, the ranking reflects continued attention to the ecosystem rather than any new implementation detail in this snapshot.
