framework7-vue is an integration package that bridges the powerful mobile UI components of Framework7 with the reactive capabilities of Vue.js, enabling developers to build full-featured iOS and Android applications. The package is currently at version 9.0.3, released recently with bug fixes for calendar and modal components. Framework7 itself is known for providing native-like UI/UX for both iOS and Material Design themes, and this package wraps those components for seamless use within Vue applications. It maintains a frequent release cadence, primarily focusing on bug fixes and incremental improvements in minor versions, while major versions (like v9.0.0) introduce significant UI/UX overhauls to align with latest platform designs (e.g., iOS 26 styles, Material You) and may include breaking API changes. Its key differentiators include its comprehensive set of pre-built UI components, dedicated themes for iOS and Material Design, and its ability to be used with Cordova or Capacitor for native app packaging.
Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.
This is the default export representing the Vue plugin, which you pass to `app.use()` to register all Framework7 components and features with your Vue application.
The `f7` named export provides direct access to the global Framework7 core instance for programmatic API calls (e.g., dialogs, router). Within Vue components, `this.$f7` or `useFramework7()` (Composition API) is often preferred.
This utility function allows you to execute code once Framework7's core instance is fully initialized, which is crucial for interacting with its APIs reliably, especially outside Vue component lifecycle hooks.
Framework7's core CSS (including themes) is imported directly from the `framework7` package, not `framework7-vue`. Choose `framework7-bundle.min.css` for all styles, or specific themes like `framework7/framework7-ios.min.css`.
This quickstart demonstrates a basic Framework7 Vue application. It initializes Framework7, registers the Vue plugin, imports necessary CSS, and sets up a root `f7-app` component with a simple page, navbar, and a button that interacts with the Framework7 dialog API.
Breaking-change detection hasn't run for this library yet.
