Vite Vue Layouts Next Plugin

vite-plugin-vue-layouts-next is a Vite plugin designed to streamline layout management for Vue 3 applications, particularly when integrated with Vue Router. It's a maintained and improved fork of the original `vite-plugin-vue-layouts`, providing robust support for the latest ecosystem versions including Vite 8, Vue 3, and Vue Router 5. The plugin automatically processes Vue components in a designated `layouts` directory, allowing pages to declare their desired layout via route meta fields (e.g., using `lang="yaml"` blocks). It currently stands at version 2.1.0, with a recent release cadence demonstrating active development to keep pace with its peer dependencies. A key differentiator is its explicit compatibility with newer major versions of Vite and Vue Router, making it a suitable choice for projects on these updated stacks. It is also designed to work seamlessly with `vite-plugin-pages` for comprehensive auto-routing and layout solutions.
