Benefits of Upgrading to Vue 3
Before diving into the migration process, let’s take a look at the benefits of upgrading to Vue 3.
- Performance improvements
Vue 3 includes several performance optimizations, such as a new rendering algorithm, improved tree shaking, and better support for static tree hoisting. This can lead to faster rendering and smaller bundle sizes.
2. Composition API
The Composition API is a new way of organizing component logic that makes it easier to reuse code across components. It allows for better code organization, improved type checking, and better separation of concerns.
3. Better TypeScript Support
Vue 3 has improved TypeScript support, with better type inference and support for TypeScript’s optional chaining and null coalescing operators.
