The Vue UI component library, continued.
Documentation · Setup · Playground · Migrate from PrimeVue · Changelog
OpenVue is a community-maintained continuation of PrimeVue, one of the most widely adopted Vue.js component libraries, following its archival by the original maintainers. The project is stewarded by openvi-foundation, an independent organization of experienced developers who use this library in production and are committed to keeping it maintained, stable, and open.
OpenVue is not affiliated with PrimeTek or PrimeUI. We started this project because a library with this much adoption, and this many teams depending on it, deserves a maintenance path that isn't tied to any single company's plans.
The migration tool is ready, try it out! One command moves an existing PrimeVue v4 project to OpenVue:
npx @openvue/migrateIt shows you a plan first (detected package manager, PrimeVue version, and every file it will change) and asks before writing anything. It renames dependencies, rewrites imports, adds a compatibility override so third-party libraries keep resolving, and audits what's left, leaving a single reviewable diff. Use --dry for a preview that writes nothing.
Read the full guide at openvue.dev/migrate or the @openvue/migrate README.
Note
OpenVue is currently in beta. The API is stable; we are polishing toward the first stable release. Install with the beta tag.
npm install openvue@beta @openvue/themes@betaRegister a theme preset when installing the plugin:
import { createApp } from 'vue';
import OpenVue from 'openvue/config';
import Aura from '@openvue/themes/aura';
import App from './App.vue';
const app = createApp(App);
app.use(OpenVue, {
theme: {
preset: Aura
}
});
app.mount('#app');Additional packages (@openvue/forms, @openvue/nuxt-module, @openvue/mcp, ...) are opt-in. Install them only if you need form validation, Nuxt integration, or the MCP server.
The fork spans the full toolchain, each piece maintained under the openvi-foundation organization.

Our priority is stability first, growth second. In order:
Publish to npm.Done: OpenVue packages are live under the@openvueorg, currently taggedbeta.Launch the OpenVue website.Done: openvue.dev is live with the full documentation and interactive component demos.Ship a PrimeVue migration tool.Done:npx @openvue/migratemoves a PrimeVue v4 project to OpenVue in one command.- Stabilize and release. Now in beta. Work through the existing issue backlog, keep dependencies current, and graduate to a predictable, versioned stable release process.
- Grow the community. Open governance, responsive maintainers, and a clear path for contributors.
- Expand the library. Once the foundation is stable, invest in new components and improvements.
We're building the initial maintainer team now. If you're an experienced developer interested in helping maintain or grow this library, issues and pull requests are open, and we'd welcome the help.
Start with the contributing guide for the development setup and how changes get reviewed. Participation is covered by our code of conduct. To report a security issue, follow the security policy rather than opening an issue.
MIT, unchanged. Every release under the MIT license stays exactly as it is. This fork doesn't affect that in any way.
