Use This Online Tool for Converting Vue.js Option API Code to Composition API
Vue.js 2’s Options API recently reached the end of its support lifecycle. This means that no further updates or fixes will be provided by the Vue.js team, as their focus has shifted towards stabilizing Vue.js 3’s Composition API. This shift allows the team to dedicate more time to the development of the Composition API.
While some Vue.js projects may still be running on the Options API, there may be a need to consider upgrading for future compatibility. If you plan to continue running your project in the future, updating to Vue.js 3’s Composition API should be considered.
Although there are numerous resources available on migrating to Vue.js 3’s Composition API, I recently came across a tool that simplifies the conversion process from Options API to Composition API.
Does it truly convert?
The project is still a work in progress and undergoing development. If, for any reason, the conversion process encounters issues, it’s important to be aware of this.
While it can assist with the conversion process for small to mid-sized projects, thorough code review and testing are crucial to ensure everything functions as expected
Usage?
You can install the package via any of your preffered packaga manager.
$ pnpm add -D vue-o2c
Inside your app you can use it as
import { transformPath, transform, type State } from "vue-o2c"
const s1: State = transformPath("/path/to/sfc.vue")
const s2: State = transform("<script>\nexport default {\n props: {\n a: String,\n }\n}\n</script>")
// s1.transformed and s2.transformed will both contained transformed code
Additionally, please note that there is an online application available to perform this task for you. Simply paste your Options API code, and the conversion will be handled automatically.
