Why this project exists

PrimeVue was archived while a lot of production applications still depended on it. Teams running it were left choosing between freezing the dependency and rewriting their UI layer.

OpenVue keeps the same component API, so existing code keeps working. The MIT license is unchanged and stays that way.

We forked the whole toolchain rather than just the components. The theming engine and the icon set are maintained here too, so nothing critical resolves at runtime from a scope we do not control.

What you get

  • One-command migration

    npx @openvue/migrate moves a PrimeVue v4 project across. It shows the plan first, renames dependencies, rewrites imports, adds a compatibility override so third-party libraries keep resolving, and leaves a single reviewable diff.

  • Drop-in API compatibility

    Component props, slots and events match PrimeVue 4.x. Migrating is a dependency swap rather than a rewrite.

  • Full documentation site

    openvue.dev carries the complete docs with interactive demos, four theme presets (Aura, Lara, Material, Nora) and RTL support.

  • Accessibility and TypeScript

    WCAG 2.0 oriented components with full TypeScript definitions, plus a Nuxt module for zero-config setup.
