VueJS has a lower API surface than Ember: you just have components. Not a specific type of object for your model, and the a controller on the side, and specific methods, etc. You have one component with data. You may bind it do a template. You insert it in the DOM, or in another component, and if the data changes, everything rerender automatically. That's it. There is nothing more to it.
