Vue Custom Elements
Vue Custom Elements is a feature of Vue.js that allows developers to define and use Vue components as native custom elements (Web Components) in non-Vue environments, such as static HTML pages or other frameworks. It enables the creation of reusable, encapsulated UI components that can be integrated into any web application using standard HTML tags. This bridges Vue's component system with the Web Components specification, making Vue components interoperable across different technology stacks.
Developers should learn Vue Custom Elements when they need to embed Vue components into legacy systems, CMS platforms, or applications built with other frameworks like React or Angular, as it provides a seamless way to reuse Vue logic without requiring a full Vue app setup. It is particularly useful for building micro-frontends, design systems, or shared component libraries that must work across diverse environments, ensuring consistency and reducing duplication. Use cases include integrating Vue widgets into WordPress sites, embedding interactive charts in static pages, or creating cross-framework UI kits.
