Vue3, which repository to use, vue3, or vue-next

Question

So,

This is probably a stupid question, but I just can't find an answer anywhere. From the VueJS docs, in the migration steps they say I should change my package.json to use:

vue: "^3.1.0"

But in the introduction, they say I should use:

vue-next: "^3.1.0"

what is the difference? do I interpret it correctly as that vue is just the transition repository?

If I move from 2 > 3, do I have to use the vue one? or can I just start using vue-next immediately?(with changes ofcourse).

probably stupid, but I am a bit confused by the docs now.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

vue-next must be a typo (or outdated info) in the docs because vue-next is an unmaintained pre-alpha package, and vue is stable for 3.x versions. However, "vue-next" doesn't appear in the Vue 3 Introduction, but "vue@next" is seen under Installation (where next is just an alias for 3.x).

Just install vue like this:

npm i -S vue@^3.x

# or
npm i -S vue@next
