# Global API Changes | ||
|
||
Vue 2.x has a number of global APIs and configurations that globally mutate Vue’s behavior. For instance, to create a global component, you would use the `Vue.component` API like this: | ||
|
||
``` js | ||
Vue.component('button-counter', { | ||
data: () => ({ | ||
count: 0 | ||
}), | ||
template: '<button @click="count++">Clicked {{ count }} times.</button>' | ||
}) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Similarly, this is how a global directive is declared: | ||
|
||
``` js | ||
Vue.directive('focus', { | ||
inserted: el => el.focus() | ||
}) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
While this approach is convenient, it leads to a couple of problems. Technically, Vue 2 doesn't have a concept of an "app". What we define as an app is simply a root Vue instance created via `new Vue()`. Every root instance created from the same Vue constructor **shares the same global configuration**. As a result: | ||
|
||
* Global configuration makes it easy to accidentally pollute other test cases during testing. Users need to carefully store original global configuration and restore it after each test (e.g. resetting `Vue.config.errorHandler`). Some APIs like `Vue.use` and `Vue.mixin` don't even have a way to revert their effects. This makes tests involving plugins particularly tricky. In fact, vue-test-utils has to implement a special API `createLocalVue` to deal with this: | ||
|
||
``` js | ||
import { createLocalVue, mount } from '@vue/test-utils' | ||
|
||
// create an extended `Vue` constructor | ||
const localVue = createLocalVue() | ||
|
||
// install a plugin “globally” on the “local” Vue constructor | ||
localVue.use(MyPlugin) | ||
|
||
// pass the `localVue` to the mount options | ||
mount(Component, { localVue }) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
* Global configuration makes it difficult to share the same copy of Vue between multiple "apps" on the same page, but with different global configurations. | ||
|
||
```js | ||
// this affects both root instances | ||
Vue.mixin({ /* ... */ }) | ||
|
||
const app1 = new Vue({ el: '#app-1' }) | ||
const app2 = new Vue({ el: '#app-2' }) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
To avoid these problems, in Vue 3 we introduce… | ||
|
||
## A New Global API: `createApp` | ||
|
||
Calling `createApp` returns an _app instance_, a new concept in Vue 3. | ||
|
||
```js | ||
import { createApp } from 'vue' | ||
|
||
const app = createApp() | ||
``` | ||
|
||
An app instance exposes a subset of the current global APIs. The rule of thumb is _any APIs that globally mutate Vue's behavior are now moved to the app instance_. Here is a table of the current global APIs and their corresponding instance APIs: | ||
|
||
| 2.x Global API | 3.x Instance API (`app`) | | ||
|----------------|--------------------------| | ||
| Vue.config | app.config | | ||
| Vue.config.productionTip | _removed_ ([see below](config-productiontip-removed)) | | ||
| Vue.config.ignoredElements | app.config.isCustomElement ([see below](#config-ignoredelements-is-now-config-iscustomelement)) | | ||
| Vue.component | app.component | | ||
| Vue.directive | app.directive | | ||
| Vue.mixin | app.mixin | | ||
| Vue.use | app.use ([see below](#a-note-for-plugin-authors)) | | ||
|
||
All other global APIs that do not globally mutate behavior are now named exports, as documented in [Global API Treeshaking](./treeshaking.html). | ||
|
||
### `config.productionTip` Removed | ||
|
||
In Vue 3.x, the "use production build" tip will only show up when using the "dev + full build" (the build that includes the runtime compiler and has warnings). | ||
|
||
For ES modules builds, since they are used with bundlers, and in most cases a CLI or boilerplate would have configured the production env properly, this tip will no longer show up. | ||
|
||
### `config.ignoredElements` Is Now `config.isCustomElement` | ||
|
||
This config option was introduced with the intention to support native custom elements, so the renaming better conveys what it does. The new option also expects a function which provides more flexibility than the old string / RegExp approach: | ||
|
||
``` js | ||
// before | ||
Vue.config.ignoredElements = ['my-el', /^ion-/] | ||
|
||
// after | ||
const app = Vue.createApp() | ||
app.config.isCustomElement = tag => tag.startsWith('ion-') | ||
``` | ||
|
||
::: tip Important | ||
|
||
In 3.0, the check of whether an element is a component or not has been moved to the template compilation phase, therefore this config option is only respected when using the runtime compiler. If you are using the runtime-only build, `isCustomElement` must be passed to `@vue/compiler-dom` in the build setup instead - for example, via the [`compilerOptions` option in vue-loader](https://vue-loader.vuejs.org/options.html#compileroptions). | ||
|
||
* If `config.isCustomElement` is assigned to when using a runtime-only build, a warning will be emitted instructing the user to pass the option in the build setup instead; | ||
* This will be a new top-level option in the Vue CLI config. | ||
::: | ||
|
||
### A Note for Plugin Authors | ||
|
||
It is a common practice for plugin authors to install the plugins automatically in their UMD builds using `Vue.use`. For instance, this is how the official `vue-router` plugin installs itself in a browser environment: | ||
|
||
```js | ||
var inBrowser = typeof window !== 'undefined'; | ||
/* … */ | ||
if (inBrowser && window.Vue) { | ||
window.Vue.use(VueRouter); | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
As the `use` global API is no longer available in Vue 3, this method will cease to work and calling `Vue.use()` will now trigger a warning. Instead, the end-user will now have to explicitly specify using the plugin on the app instance: | ||
|
||
```js | ||
const app = createApp(MyApp) | ||
app.use(VueRouter) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Mounting App Instance | ||
|
||
After being initialized with `createApp()`, the app instance `app` can be used to mount a Vue root instance with `app.mount(VueInstance, domTarget)`: | ||
|
||
```js | ||
import { createApp } from 'vue' | ||
import MyApp from './MyApp.vue' | ||
|
||
const app = createApp() | ||
app.mount(MyApp, ‘#app’) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The `mount` method can also accept props to be passed to the root component via a third argument: | ||
|
||
```js | ||
app.mount(MyApp, '#app', { | ||
// props to be passed to root component | ||
}) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
With all these changes, the component and directive we have at the beginning of the guide will be rewritten into something like this: | ||
|
||
``` js | ||
const app = createApp() | ||
|
||
app.component('button-counter', { | ||
data: () => ({ | ||
count: 0 | ||
}), | ||
template: '<button @click="count++">Clicked {{ count }} times.</button>' | ||
}) | ||
|
||
app.directive('focus', { | ||
inserted: el => el.focus() | ||
}) | ||
|
||
// now every Vue instance mounted with app.mount(), along with its | ||
// component tree, will have the same “button-counter” component | ||
// and “focus” directive without polluting the global environment | ||
app.mount(MyApp, '#app') | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Provide / Inject | ||
|
||
Similar to using the `provide` option in a 2.x root instance, a Vue 3 app instance can also provide dependencies that can be injected by any component inside the app: | ||
|
||
```js | ||
// in the entry | ||
app.provide({ | ||
[ThemeSymbol]: theme | ||
}) | ||
|
||
// in a child component | ||
export default { | ||
inject: { | ||
theme: { | ||
from: ThemeSymbol | ||
} | ||
}, | ||
template: `<div :style="{ color: theme.textColor }" />` | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Share Configurations Among Apps | ||
|
||
One way to share configurations e.g. components or directives among apps is to create a factory function, like this: | ||
|
||
```js | ||
import { createApp } from 'vue' | ||
import Foo from './Foo.vue' | ||
import Bar from './Bar.vue' | ||
|
||
const createMyApp = () => { | ||
const app = createApp() | ||
app.directive('focus', /* ... */) | ||
|
||
return app | ||
} | ||
|
||
createApp().mount(Foo, '#foo') | ||
createApp().mount(Bar, '#bar') | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Now the `focus` directive will be available in both Foo and Bar instances and their descendants. |
