Vue 2 Compat Build Package

This package is the Vue 2 version of your library. It can

test
build
publish

the code symlinked from /lib-vue3/src as a Vue 2 plugin library.

Things to be aware of.

The src folder is just a symlink to /lib-vue3/src. So both packages share the same source.
You need to synchronize the dependencies between both packages. if you add a new dependency to /lib-vue3, you likely also want to install it here. pnpm can help doing that in a single command: running i.e. pnpm add lodash-es --filter="example-*" in the project root will add the package lodash-es as a dependencies to both /lib-vue2 and /lib-vue3 packages, as their package names both start with example-*.

Alternative Publishing Strategy

This template is preconfigured to publish the Vue 2 and Vue 3 versions in individual packages. This is generally the recommended approach so you don't have to mix dependencies for Vue 2 and Vue 3 in package.json.

However, you can alternatively decide to publish just one package, including both the Vue 2 and Vue 3 bundles. Just be aware that you might encounter trouble if you need different versions of a dependency for each version.

Here's what you would have to change for that:

`/lib-vue2/package.json`

give a distinct name
make it private so it won't be published.
Optionally remove module exports & entry points

{
 "name": "some-name-different-from-lib-vue3",
+ "private": "false",
 "type": "module",
- "main": "dist/index.cjs.cjs",
- "module": "dist/index.es.js",
- "typings": "index.vue2.d.ts",
-  "exports": {
-    ".": {
--      "script": "dist/index.iife.js",
-      "import": "dist/index.es.js",
-      "require": "dist/index.cjs.cjs"
-    },
-  },
-  "files": [
-    "dist",
-    "src",
-    "index.vue2.d.ts",
-    "README.md",
-  ]
}

`/lib-vue2/vite.config.ts`

change build output to ../lib-vue3/dist:

// ...
  build: buildConfig({
-    outDir: "./dist",
+    outDir: "../lib-vue3/dist-vue2",
  }),
//...

Setup src folder

Right now, /lib-vue2 is a symlink to /lib-vue3/src. For types, we need to publish the src folder with out package, not just a symlink. so instead, we need an actual copy of the source folder

Remove symlink - just delete the /lib-vue2/src folder.
install rimraf && cpy-cli

# in /lib-vue2
pnpm add -D cpy-cli

Adjust these scripts in package.json - we don't need the copy script anymore:

"script": {
  "dev": "vite build --watch",
-  "build": "pnpm prepare-src && copy-src",
+  "build": "vite build",
-  "copy-src: "cpy ../lib-vue3/src/* ./dist/src/"
   # ....
}

`index.vue2.d.ts`

Move /lib-vue2/index.d.ts to /lib-vue3/index.vue2.d.ts and make it export the src directory there.
