Is Volar the new version of Vetur?

is Volar the new version for Vue development? do we still need to use vetur or change to volar?

[sethidden]

Evan You during the Vue Contributor Days a few days ago said that the quick start guide for Vue will now recommend Volar instead of Vetur. He said it here: https://youtu.be/gpTbH469Qog?t=1926

I interpret it like "If you're staying with Vue 2 OR if you don't use TypeScript that much - Vetur is still fine, but if you're going to be using Vue 3 or you use typescript extensively pick Volar, as this is the main tool that'll be used by the ecosystem going forward"

The reason for my TypeScript interpretation is that Vetur doesn't have vue-tsc etc., so no type-checking in the template and so on

Any features missing from Volar that Vetur has? Anyone has a feature comparison table?

volar seems very slow to start (~365ms) I hope they fix this. vetur is much fast

@Super-Chama This time is inaccurate 😅, it does not take into account the time it takes for Vetur to unpack dependencies.

For vue2 projects, can we completely replace vetur with volar?

[johnsoncodehk]

@spf-oss for vue < 2.7 need some config (see https://github.com/johnsoncodehk/volar/tree/master/extensions/vscode-vue-language-features#usage), for vue 2.7 yes.
