Update 1.31 – December 1, 2023

Update: Vue Designer 1.31 with minor enhacements and bug fixes was released on December 01, 2023.

This release is aimed at bug-fixes and various enhancements to improve stability and the overall experience of our users. 

We have greatly enhanced support for working with a remote dev-server when a project is opened in Vue Designer locally from the mounted drive (of the same remote source). When reopening a project in Vue Designer v1.31 and after initiating the dev-server, kindly refer to the instructions provided under Remote Dev-Server URL in the config panel.

If you face any difficulties, please reach out to us, we are here to help. Still, we recommend running the dev-server on the same machine for the best developer experience.

Other improvements include: 

  • Better scanning of components across all Nuxt Layers. The starter-templates and sample-apps are also updated to showcase this ability. 
  • Ability to configure the application URL in setups like Laravel where Vite is used as a middleware. 
  • Improved user messages and config panel instructions. We aim to keep the Config Panel instructions short and precise, and we recommend using one of our starter-templates when you start on new projects. 

New in 1.3

  • Vue Designer is framework-agnostic and already supports numerous component libraries, such as Vuetify, Nuxt-UI, Naive-UI, Quasar, etc.
  • A powerful Vue Designer add-on for Vuetify (@pinegrow/vuetify-plugin) is now available for an enhanced experience. It’s power-packed with:
    • Visual controls for Vuetify utilities.
    • Theming with Design Panel and Floating tools.
    • Easy use of TailwindCSS / UnoCSS (tailwind preset) instead of Vuetify utilities.
    • Enhanced web-types for the Library and Props Panel.
    • Easy state binding of Vuetify global instance data.
  • Ability to clone blank templates to start a project fresh.
  • Order of props definition in local components are retained.
  • Bug fixes and performance updates.
  • Starter templates and sample apps updated.
  • Pinegrow Vite Plugin updated, along with other meta-framework modules.

Vue Designer uses an open JSON standard called Web-Types (maintained by JetBrains) to provide an enhanced experience for numerous component libraries.

All major component libraries in the Vue ecosystem already support web-types, e.g., Vuetify, Quasar, Naive-UI, Ionic-Vue, Framework7-Vue, Element-Plus, Ant-Design-Vue, Vant-UI, and so on.
