Use vue-demi for Vue 2

[mahapo]

It would be nice if Vue 3 imports could be replaced with vue-demi. So the plugin also can be use with Vue 2/Nuxt. https://github.com/vueuse/vue-demi

Thanks, already tried but didn't had time to finish my tests, and not so easy because I use a mix of Composition and Option API

Hi, I'd like to help with this issue if that's okay @klevron? Given what you said about using the mix of composition and options API, would it make sense to start converting everything to just use the composition API with the vue-demi shim?

Hi 👋

Any update on this @klevron @sarayourfriend ? 🙂

I did quite a bit of "exploratory coding" to try to accomplish this but without @klevron's buy in I decided I wouldn't continue. As they said, there are significant changes required to the structure of various components, including re-writing non-trivial mixins and other Vue 2 specific abstractions. Either this would be a single massive PR (which would be a pain to maintain with conflicts, etc) or should be done piecemeal. My own need for Vue 2 support will be gone soon, however, as WordPress/Openverse should be able to move to Vue 3 at some point later this year and I'm not sure how much I would be able to help with this if that happens.
