This package, `vue-functions` (current stable version 2.0.6, last published in June 2020), provides a collection of utility functions and mixins specifically designed for Vue.js 2 applications. It offers features such as `updatablePropsEvenUnbound` for managing component props, `watchAsync` for watching asynchronous dependencies, reactive `windowSize` access via a mixin, and a `hookHelper` for extending component lifecycle hooks. Due to its foundational reliance on Vue 2's mixin system, it is not directly compatible with Vue 3's Composition API without significant refactoring or the use of Vue's compatibility build. The package's release cadence appears irregular, and its primary utility lies in streamlining common patterns within Vue 2 projects. Vue 2 itself officially reached End-of-Life on December 31st, 2023, making this package primarily relevant for maintaining legacy Vue 2 applications.
npm install vue-functionsVerified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.
Demonstrates `updatablePropsEvenUnbound` for managing local state from a prop and the reactive `windowSize` mixin within a Vue 2 component.
Consider migrating to Vue 3 and using a modern utility library like VueUse, which provides similar functionalities adapted for the Composition API.
For new Vue 3 projects, prefer libraries designed for Vue 3's Composition API. For migrating Vue 2 projects, consult the Vue 3 Migration Guide and consider `@vue/compat`.
Thoroughly review the source code of `watchAsync` before relying on it in production. Consider implementing custom asynchronous watchers if its behavior is unclear or insufficient.
Use ES Module `import` syntax instead: `import * as vf from 'vue-functions'`.
Ensure Vue is imported (`import Vue from 'vue'`) and available, and that components/mixins are correctly applied (e.g., using the `mixins` option in a Vue component).
Ensure `vue-functions` mixins are applied within a valid Vue component definition, for example: `export default Vue.extend({ mixins: [someMixin] })`.
