vue-template-compiler 's direct dependencies. Data on all dependencies, including transitive ones, is available via CSV download.The vue-template-compiler is a powerful tool in the Vue ecosystem that pre-compiles Vue 2.0 templates into render functions. Its main objective is to avoid overhead associated with runtime-compilation and to circumvent Content Security Policy restrictions. Its use can result in more efficient code execution and enhanced application performance. Though it is commonly used along with vue-loader, there are special cases where the vue-template-compiler needs to be used separately, particularly when it pertains to building tools with very specific requirements.
The vue-template-compiler is used as an npm package and can be installed with the command npm install vue-template-compiler. After installation, it can be required in your JavaScript code as follows:
const compiler = require('vue-template-compiler')
A simple example of using the compile function provided by the compiler could be:
const { render } = compiler.compile('<div>{{ msg }}</div>')
console.log(render)
// => "with(this){return _c('div',[_v(_s(msg))])}"
The compile function takes two parameters: a template string and an optional options object. The returned result is an object that includes the render function code, template syntax errors (if any), render code for static subtrees, and parsed template elements to Abstract Syntax Tree (AST).
Vue-template-compiler documentation can be found within the official Vue.js GitHub repository. The documentation is comprehensive and provides insights into how to effectively use the package in your Vue applications. It gives detailed descriptions of API functions, their parameters, return values and examples of how to use the functions.
