@pyreon/vue-compat

Vue 3 Composition API shim — write Vue-style code that runs on Pyreon's reactive engine.

@pyreon/vue-compat provides the Vue 3 Composition API surface (ref, shallowRef, computed, reactive, shallowReactive, readonly, shallowReadonly, toRef, toRefs, toRaw, toValue, unref, isRef, isReactive, isReadonly, isProxy, markRaw, triggerRef, watch, watchEffect, lifecycle hooks onMounted / onUnmounted / onUpdated / onBeforeMount / onBeforeUnmount, nextTick, provide / inject, defineComponent, defineAsyncComponent, createApp, effectScope / getCurrentScope / onScopeDispose, error/render-track hooks, <Teleport>, <KeepAlive>, <Transition>) all running on Pyreon's reactive engine. This is a runtime shim, not Vue — it covers what code imports, NOT the Single-File Component compiler. .vue files require a separate SFC compiler.

Install

bun add @pyreon/vue-compat

Quick start

import { ref, computed, watch, onMounted } from '@pyreon/vue-compat'

function Counter() {
  const count = ref(0)
  const doubled = computed(() => count.value * 2)

  watch(count, (next, prev) => {
    console.log(`count: ${prev} → ${next}`)
  })

  onMounted(() => {
    console.log('mounted')
  })

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Count: {count.value}, doubled: {doubled.value}</p>
      <button onClick={() => count.value++}>+1</button>
    </div>
  )
}

API surface

Drop-in compat mode

@pyreon/vite-plugin can alias every vue import to this package:

// vite.config.ts
import pyreon from '@pyreon/vite-plugin'
export default { plugins: [pyreon({ compat: 'vue' })] }

tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "jsx": "react-jsx",
    "jsxImportSource": "@pyreon/vue-compat"
  }
}

Scope

This is a runtime shim. It covers what code imports at runtime — the same boundary @pyreon/solid-compat draws around Solid's compiler.

• ✅ Composition API — ref, computed, reactive, watch, lifecycle, provide / inject, effectScope
• ✅ defineComponent (typed) + defineAsyncComponent (incl. loadingComponent / errorComponent / delay / timeout / suspensible / onError, Vue 3 semantics; the server always waits for the load)
• ✅ createApp(component, props) — mount via .mount(selector)
• ✅ Built-in components — Teleport, KeepAlive, Transition
• ❌ .vue Single-File Component compiler
• ❌ <script setup> syntax (compiler construct)
• ❌ Options API class-component lifecycle (data, methods, computed block, created, beforeDestroy, …)
• ❌ Template directives (v-if, v-for, v-model) — use JSX equivalents

Components are plain functions returning JSX that run on Pyreon's reactive engine.

Gotchas

• .value reads/writes work because Pyreon signals wrap a value getter/setter to match Vue's ref shape.
• reactive(obj) returns a Proxy that delegates to Pyreon signals — mutating obj.x = 5 triggers subscribers as Vue does.
• watch deps are tracked automatically for function sources. For an array of sources, the watcher fires when any one changes.
• createApp(App).mount(selector) maps to Pyreon's mount() — returns an app instance with .unmount().
• Lifecycle hooks fire ONCE per component instance (run-once model). Vue's render-driven re-fires (onUpdated) translate to per-subscription effects under the hood — the visible effect is the same for most use cases.
