vue-compiler

A standalone Vue single-file component (SFC) compiler for projects that cannot use webpack. Current stable version is 4.2.1, released on an irregular cadence by a community maintainer. Unlike official vue-loader, this package compiles .vue files directly to CommonJS modules without requiring webpack, supporting both async (compile) and sync (compileSync) APIs. It includes template compilation (via vue-template-compiler), style processing, and custom compiler hooks. However, the package is not actively maintained by the Vue core team and relies on an outdated peer dependency of vue-template-compiler ^2.6.10, meaning it only supports Vue 2.x. For Vue 3, use @vue/compiler-sfc instead.
