Roadmap

[meteorlxy]

IMPORTANT

Vue team has decided to focus on VitePress as the main recommended SSG in the long run. So the roadmap has been delayed a lot.

Future of this project:

• VuePress will transform from a @vuejs project to a community project, and will continue to be maintained by current team.
• VitePress will keep its current name and would NOT become VuePress v3.

What's the target for a stable release? There doesn't seem to be much left outside of the default dark theme in the roadmap features?

1y later😂

[kaikaibenkai]

2y later... What happened to v2?

[fdevans]

Also interested in a timeline for a stable release. Completely understand the challenges of building in a fast moving technology environment, but it would be good to have something that feels more official to use than the Beta releases.

[meteorlxy]

@kaikaibenkai - See the "IMPORTANT" section at the top. I thought people may read from the first line 🤦‍♂️

@fdevans - Waiting for vite v5 and then we may enter rc stage.

Since VitePress won't evolve into VuePress3, v2 is a hero for Vuepress😢

[loctran016]

It will be nice if vuepress can create pages from data (you can find a similar function at 11ty)
For example, I have a ssg.json:

{
"vuepress": {
"Title": "vuepress",
"Description": "A vue-based SSG"
},
"gatsby": {
"Title": "gatsby",
"Description": "A react-based SSG"
}

Will create 2 files gatsby.md and vuepress.md with following content

---
title: vuepress
description: A vue-based SSG
---

---
title: gatsby
description: A react-based SSG
---

[meteorlxy]

It will be nice if users can always read the docs 😢

[loctran016]

Really sorry to you

[Mister-Hope]

Just be curious, why use --c- prefix in @vuepress/theme-default, what does c mean for short?

I think changing to --vuepress- or just --vp- will be better. Most of the plugins will choose to follow the variable which the default theme uses. So it would be nice to have a short and clear prefix

[meteorlxy]

--c- for --color-

[Mister-Hope]

Got it.

[dumptyd]

I was trying this out in a new project and ran into this error (csstree/csstree#162) because of the usage of csso plugin for postcss here:

https://github.com/vuepress/vuepress-next/blob/main/packages/@vuepress/bundler-webpack/src/config/handleModuleStyles.ts#L89

Would it be possible (or more specifically a priority) to fix this on Vuepress' side by using another CSS optimizer or making the plugin opt-in? I know I can tap into the webpack config and remove that plugin but I think that solution is too intrusive.

[KnorpelSenf]

The roadmap looks pretty complete to me. What is there left to do before it will leave the beta?

[straumat]

If you are impatient as I am and want to use it as soon as possible, I used the 2 beta for my open source project and it works great: https://trading-bot.cassandre.tech/

I'd like to help

pull doc tree from repository
oauth / membership
redis datastore
commenting (disqus intergration)
social functions (like, private message, block)
shopping cart interface

this will require other vues, maybe plugins, and a datastore interface (node)
I'd like to use redis or a triple store maybe for all the data

theres little doc on how to do these things, how can I help?

tdavis0525#gmail.com I dont know what account github has

t want to use it as a component of a larger project as the display interface for the content, then bunde it all with docker and add control interfaces

Is there any plans to upgrade vuepress-community

[Mister-Hope]

We may have plans to do that, after we split vuepress/vuepress-next to vuepress/core and vuepress/ecosystem

Meteorlxy is a bit busy now. And I am at school

[zgayjjf]

I can help with that if you can guide me on where to start.

[Mister-Hope]

You can fork that repo and try making plugins compatable in your forked repo. After we split the repo, you can make pr to add each plugins in to the new repo.

Hey, What is messing to release first official version?

I want to contribute 🚀

[qqlcx5]

I developed a theme based on the default version, with categories, timelines, and tabs

url: https://feyoudao.cn/vuepress-next/

Hope to have enthusiast can offer a point of opinion

[bravecorvus]

Hey is there a way to do "logo" in config.js like in v1?

[jortfal]

Hi @meteorlxy,

I am planning to create a documentation site with VuePress v2.0.0.

But in March last year I commented that I intended to transfer the project to the community because the Vue.js team is considering replacing VuePress with VitePress.

What is the future of VuePress?
Will it be replaced by Vite?

It is important to know these answers in order to bet on one project or the other.

Thank you.

Best regards.

[jortfal]

Hi @yyx990803,

Do you have any information regarding my questions above?

Thank you.

Best regards.

[meteorlxy]

VuePress v2 will be continuously maintained by the current team, but might not be a project of @vuejs organization. (and might be renamed)

For now you can choose to use either project as you like:

• VuePress v2 - a community project
• VitePress - a @vuejs project

[jortfal]

Hi @meteorlxy,

thank you very much for your reply.

I have tried VitePress and I loved it. I am creating a private documentation website with this tool.

Regards.

Can somebody tell the approximate date when VuePress v2 or VitePress v1 will be ready for stable release?

[spx3]

👍✅

[liudonghua123]

So is it recommend to use https://github.com/vuejs/vitepress instead of vuepress in 2023?

[Mister-Hope]

See:

• https://vitepress.dev/guide/what-is-vitepress#what-about-vuepress
• VuePress VS VitePress #1281
• VuePress VS VitePress #1281 (reply in thread)

[CanadianBeaver]

What about the release date of someone of vite/vue(press) without comparison?
