Support Vue 3 in SurveyJS library
We need to support Vue 3 in our products. But we need to check whether survey-vue library will be compatible with Vue 2.X\
migrating tool: https://github.com/surveyjs/survey-library/issues/2756#issuecomment-987624404
@outerstorm Right now we don't have this task in the nearest plans. We're working on SurveyJS Creator V2. After that in case of all VueJS v3 ecosystem has been released we could return to this issue.
This is a big deal to us as well, and we were seriously considering purchasing this product. Can we at least get some roadmap/timelines? Our app is all vue3 and mixing the two is going to be a mess.
Any schedule for this upgrade? Our company is going to purchase this product.
@moonose - We have yet to hear any details on a schedule and are in the same position - our company will be purchasing the product and implementing in a Vue3 application. Since we haven't heard anything yet we moved forward with wrapping the Knockout library with a Vue3 wrapper of our own. Not sure if that approach would work for you, but something to consider.
Hello guys, Let us to find out, how many changes is required for supporting V3 and is it possible to support V2&V3 at the same time. We will comeback in several days.
Thank you, Andrew
@outerstorm , thanks for your info. We think SurveyJS is set of awesome products and creator seems works fine under vue3 env. That's why we are planning to purchase this product. But unfortunately, current library does not support vue3. We prefer to get a version supporting vue3 officially. So, I wait for a while to see the progress.
I think, that for now, we can't easily change the Vue version from 2 to 3. We are using vue-class-component for example and I can't guarantee that it will work in Vue3 and so on.
I think that it is would be reasonable not to have two versions of Vue in the SurveyJS project. As I understand Vue3 is not the default version. It is @next version and even the documentation site opens with Vue2 by default.
Does anyone have information about Vue3 official release and when it becomes a standard? @bapaynter @outerstorm @opiispanen @timritzer @moonose
When Vue3 will become a standard I think that we abandon Vue2 support and converted survey-library to V3 and then probably implemented creatorV2 for Vue3 too.
v3 has already officially released. together with cli, router, vuex, eslint and other core components, v3 has had its own ecosystem now. It is not a new thing (latest version is 3.2.4) and it is mature with clear official documentation (https://v3.vuejs.org/). But I think both v2 and v3 will coexist in a while, because the two are important milestones with different architectures.
for the new projects, we have enough reasons to choose v3, but for v2 projects, it is really a hard decision to migrate. Hope to see a release of v3 for survey.js soon.
v3 has already officially released
Since the differences between Vue2 and Vue3 are dramatical and Vue3 package still has the @next tag, we prefer to wait until Vue3 will be the default package installed via the npm i vue or similar yarn command.
It is estimated that Vue will not remove the @ next tag in the later stage, because the UI framework based on vue3 has acquiesced vue@next In fact, what I want to see most is the creator of vue3
@kouhunzhe What is actually you are going to do with the survey-creator-vue? What scenarios can't be covered with the survey-creator (V1) or survey-creator-react (-knockout) (V2)?
And concerning Vue3 permanent @ next tag as you said - it's very strange for me. In this case all npm i vue will be install the Vue2.
This is also critical for my company: Testimonial Tree. We are in the midst of building out a product and are the point where we were hoping to use survey js, but this is a bit of a blocker.
I've read through some various tickets and the priorities are a bit confusing. It seems like you are working on:
- survey creator (but this is only for react/knockout) is there plans for a vue2/3 instantiation of this?
- surveyjs-library to cleanup and remove code duplication
- adding angular support to I assume surveyjs-library
- then you'll revisit this vue3 situation
I understand your point about vue3 being on the @next branch. However, most "frameworks" and "libraries" are already using vue3 as their default. For instance, we are a use of the https://quasar.dev project and their default command quasar create uses vue3. This is also the case with vue-cli and others. All documentation for vue and related ecosystems default to vue3 with an option to look at vue2 if need be. So, I'm not sure that "waiting" till vue3 is not on the @next branch is a good idea.
I think this should be a higher priority, than it currently is. That being said, I totally understand being limited on human resources.
I'd appreciate any update and/or thoughts as this hasn't been updated in about a month.
EDIT:
I thought of a separate question. Do you have just a plain old vanilla js version of this? If you do I can just use that. I guess I could use the jquery version and just render it into a div from within a component... however, I just despise jquery.
@outerstorm I understand your concern. I wish I can deliver you good news. Unfortunately, I can't. We have 7 developers on board, including me. We are busy with the following tasks right now: Creator V2 - at the current stage, except working on adaptivity, we are mostly testing, fixing bugs and add e2e tests Improve our rendering - reuse our own components - remove custom code/rendering, render better html, add html snapshots tests.
Next tasks in the queue: Better support for accessibility and add checks for accessibility support into our CI Angular rendering for SurveyJS Library Creator V2 angular version Creator V2 vue2 version Here we believe we can go with vue3 (library and creator). We will review vue3 situation one more time before working on creator for vue2.
The good news, after finishing with current two tasks, other tasks should be done fast. We have more than 85% of our code as platform independent and less than 15% is rendering, platform specific. We have many e2e tests for Creator and Library and they are running for all platforms. We are working on html snapshot tests, making sure all platforms generate the same html after removing platform specific tags and sorting attributes. All we need is to write code for angular and vue3 and make sure all tests are running for new platforms as well.
Thank you, Andrew
@andrewtelnov thanks for the info.
Just for reference this could help in the short term?
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@vue/compat
we prefer to wait until Vue3 will be the default package
Update: this will be the case as of February 7.
A good path to making this work might be to use Vue-Demi. Thanks for the good work.
because we are using so many additional features like vue-class-component and typescript I think we can't just use this library for migrating. But we will try. Thanks for sharing

Vue-demi works well with TS if you use the composition api (available from the @vue/composition-api package), but class component syntax is strongly discouraged moving forward in Vue last I read, and it is recommended to adopt the standard object syntax or the new composition api.
So you might have to do the class-component to composition-api migration first.
Is there any news about this ? The MVP has been closed in version 1.9.22 if I am not mistaken and I cannot find the Vue 3 official support in the current sprint progress roadmap (which is references just above).
Hello, you are right we've made the mvp and it was successful. We proofed the concept. This enhancement is in our todo list.
We are working on native Angular implementation and then we are going to start work for Vue3 support.
Unfortunately, we can't give a concrete estimations. But we are trying to do our best to make it happen as soon as possible.
Thanks, Dmitry SurveyJS team
Hi, excellent news @dmitrykurmanov thank you.
This MVP was uploaded in a commit?
Hi, excellent news @dmitrykurmanov thank you.

yes, here is the branch: https://github.com/surveyjs/survey-library/tree/feature/4133-vue3-mvp
My team is also looking forward for this library being supported by Vue3. This will be critical to our open source project.
Having some feedback from time to time would be great in the next months. Thank you!
