Writing Vue.js: Step by Step, from just one line of "Hello, World".

https://ubugeeei.github.io/chibivue

---

chibivue is minimal vuejs/core implementations.
(Reactivity System, Virtual DOM and Patch Rendering, Component System, Template Compiler, SFC Compiler)

"chibi" means "small" in Japanese.

This project began in February 2023 with the goal of simplifying the understanding of Vue's core implementation.

Currently, I am still in the process of implementation, but after implementation, I intend to post explanatory articles as well.

(For now, I plan to post Japanese first.)

example

👜 Package Manager

This project uses pnpm as a package manager.

And use ni .

# if you don't have ni yet
npm i -g @antfu/ni

🗓️ Big Plans

• Complete Basic Template Compiler
  • Slots
• Complete Basic SFC Compiler
  • script setup
  • compiler macro
• Overall restructuring
  • Fixing typos and errors
  • Reviewing English version of the text
  • Making explanations more understandable
• Implementation and explanation of SSR / SSG
• Implementation and explanation of compile-time optimization
  Tree flattening and static hoisting, among others
• Incorporate refactoring of the parser that will likely be included in Vue.js 3.4
  　vuejs/core#9674
• Incorporate refactoring of the reactivity package that will likely be included in Vue.js 3.4
  vuejs/core#5912
• 🌟 Implementation and explanation of **Vapor Mode**
  Since the official version has not been released, we will implement it based on our predictions.
