This is one of my favorite “features” of Vue. The system is built on straightforward JavaScript such that it works equally well in the simple, old way of just including a script tag and having all your code in the DOM, as it does with all the bells and whistles of modern build systems. You can use a plain Vue object as a message bus, event emitter, or a simple reactive data container without any template or visual logic involved. It’s a damned useful primitive to add to your toolbox. I’ve found that Vue’s documentation and api are clear, consistent, and well-reasoned. The core system is a set of primitives that cover about everything you would want in a web app, you can easily pick and choose just the pieces you want but they also work perfectly in the fashion of a much heavier framework if you decide to use them all together. This is about the best open source project I’ve ever used. Highly recommended for anyone who is curious about it, and hats off to Evan You and the whole team for what they’ve built.
