Vue 3

• Vue 2 support will end on Dec 31, 2023. Learn more.
• Upgrading from Vue 2? Check out the Migration Guide.
• Vue 2 components can be found on the vue2 branch

Vue 3 components for Carbon 10 have reached parity with the Vue 2 components. More work is needed especially around accessibility. If you want to improve Vue 3 components follow these guidelines.

1. Fork this repo and checkout the main branch
2. Look to see which components are currently being improved. You can do this by looking in the issues list.
3. If you want to improve a component, look in the open issue list to see if someone else might already be working on it. Look for issues with a "V3 - Vue3" label and the name of the component. For example "CvDatePicker - improving accessibility".
4. If no one else is already working on it, create an issue using the "🍪 Vue 3 - improve component" and label it as above.
   • Work on the component and create a PR when you are ready.
   • Components are expected to be implemented as single file components using the Vue composition api. See CvCheckbox as an example. The Vue 2 components use the options API.
   • You should reference the DOM in the React components storybook and be sure to include any accessibility improvements that might be there.
   • You should update the story and test cases for the component if applicable. Sometimes the story might need updating almost always the test cases for the component will need updates.
   • If you have question tag @davidnixon in your issue and let me know how I can help.
