{"id":15046,"library":"vue-simple-timeline","title":"Simple Vue Timeline Component","description":"vue-simple-timeline is a lightweight component designed to render basic chronological timelines within Vue 2 applications. The current stable version is 0.1.2, which typically indicates an early stage of development and suggests the project is likely inactive or has a very slow release cadence. It functions as a Vue plugin, installed via `Vue.use()`, making the `<simple-timeline>` component globally available. This package focuses on providing a straightforward timeline display with customizable event points and content, differentiating itself by its simplicity rather than offering advanced interactivity or complex layout options. It is exclusively built for the Vue 2 ecosystem and is not compatible with Vue 3.","status":"abandoned","version":"0.1.2","language":"javascript","source_language":"en","source_url":"https://github.com/onexdata/vue-simple-timeline","tags":["javascript","timeline","vue-timeline","vue-simple-timeline","vue-moe-timeline","light timeline","timeline components","sme-timeline"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install vue-simple-timeline","lang":"bash","label":"npm"},{"cmd":"yarn add vue-simple-timeline","lang":"bash","label":"yarn"},{"cmd":"pnpm add vue-simple-timeline","lang":"bash","label":"pnpm"}],"dependencies":[{"reason":"Runtime dependency for Vue 2 applications to function correctly.
