Fixing Vue 3 Options API Issues with Webpack 5: A Comprehensive Guide

If you've recently updated your Vue project to version 3 and started using Webpack 5, you might have encountered some frustrating issues with the Options API. Specifically, you might see warnings like Unhandled error during execution of native event handler and $options.filter is not a function. You’re not alone in this confusion! Let’s dive into the details, explore the problem, and walk through the solution step-by-step.

Understanding the Options API and Composition API

In Vue 3, both the traditional Options API and the new Composition API can be used interchangeably. The Options API allows developers to define component properties, methods, and lifecycle hooks in an organized way, while the Composition API provides more flexibility and reusability in managing state and logic.

Your Problem

You were trying to use the Options API with the provided snippet:

However, this code was throwing errors, while using the setup function with the Composition API resolved the issue. Let's unravel why this happens.

The Root Cause: Webpack Configuration

The issue was buried in your Webpack configuration. You had introduced the following lines in your Webpack config file, likely to optimize your bundle:

This configuration disables the Options API in your Vue application, which is why the errors appeared. Vue leverages these variables at build time to determine which API features to include in your bundle.

Solution: Enable the Options API

To fix the problem, all you need to do is change the setting for _VUE_OPTIONS_API_ to true. This would re-enable the Options API, allowing you to use it seamlessly in your project without encountering the errors you faced previously. Simply update your Webpack configuration to:

This change ensures that the Options API is included in your build, therefore allowing your existing Vue 3 code to function correctly.

Additional Insights

Furthermore, if you are using -vue/compiler-sfc, you may not need it since you're working with Vue version 3.2.13 or higher. This version already includes the compiler internally, simplifying your setup and potentially reducing bundle size even further.

Conclusion

Switching to Vue 3 and Webpack 5 can initially introduce some challenges, especially with the Options API, but as we've seen, it's generally just a configuration issue. By enabling the Options API in your Webpack setup, you can continue using familiar coding patterns while benefitting from Vue 3’s performance improvements.
Keep experimenting with both APIs and find out what best suits your project. Happy coding!
