Hey there, what’s new with VueJS and Meteor?
I noticed meteor create --vue
is new, but it’s not documented in the VueJS guide.
There seems to have been a bunch of work on this, but that work is either incomplete or undocumented. (I did some work on the Vue+Meteor Tutorial but didn’t get it to done).
Today, out-of-the-box, is it possible to quickly spin up a Meteor+VueJS+AccountsUI (using Blaze) project?
Thanks!
EDIT: I came back to Meteor after some time away on the first release of this new feature

Hi. Yes lots of work is in progress atm. I’m working on a library that allows connecting to external Vue frameworks like Nuxt (Meteor as BFF and DDP as plugin). Accounts UI is something on my wish-list, but havent had time for that.
Currently on my roadmap are:
There are other people involved in figuring out the details. Feel free to contribute or share feedback
About using Blaze. There will be no integration with Blaze. Just Vue. Maybe if someone likes doing it, we could support loading Blaze templates from a Vue component. That would help people migrate or use Blaze specifics (like Accounts UI) in Vue.

I’d say it is not worth putting in the effort to make accounts-ui (Blaze) work with Vue. It’s just too much technical debt. Especially given that the accounts-base package itself is fairly straightforward and so devs can rather quickly build whatever they need from just those building blocks.

Seems legit. Lets add it to the list :’) I need this stuff either way. Just want to wait building it until v3 goes stable

True, but… when I first dipped my toes in Meteor the fact that I could use accounts-ui out-of-the-box meant I could get my proof-of-concept working and fall in love with Meteor MUCH quicker . Yes, once the project progressed beyond proof-of-concept I replaced them with my own Material Design themed ui, but it was great not to have to invest that time up-front.
So if someone has time, providing accounts-ui-vue would be a great benefit for Vue users trying out Meteor for the first time…

I don’t care about Blaze - I just heard it was the simplest thing that could work.
I care about Meter + Vue + Rapid prototyping (accounts, social logins, password reset emails, etc).
Meteor+Vue without rapid prototyping isn’t that compelling. I’m using blaze now so I can get rapid prototyping.

Started this one a while ago: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@vue-accounts/meteor
Guess I will redo it :’)
