vee-validate VS buefy

In this blog post I am exploring the client-side form validation with Vee-validate (https://vee-validate.logaretm.com/v4/) and vee-validate/rules (https://www.npmjs.com/package/@vee-validate/rules).

The Vue ecosystem is packed with many great form validation libraries, VeeValidate, Vuelidate, and FormKit just to name a few.

The two I heard of are Vuelidate and Vee-validate. Any opinion? Thanks.

Sorry if this comes off harsh. I think having a collection of built-in validators are nice, but there's also very solid libraries like Zod or Yup that have that feature nailed down. In the end, I don't feel like this library does all that much to justify it's existance in the vanilla case and especially in the Vue case. Here's some specific criticisms that I think would improve the library, though even if these items were fixed I would feel like it's pretty far off from being as helpful than existing libraries, e.g. vee-validate for Vue which allows for dynamic field generation while also supporting validation through Yup allowing for more complex cross-field validation.

VeeValidate

Ever used vee-validate? It is a nice form validation library and now with the help of composition API got even stronger.

You could try looking into VeeValidate, as it's probably the most similar in terms of hook usage.

I use VeeValidate for form validation. Is there any plugin or built-in feature in Quasar for replacing this package?

I looked into Buefy, which has great and accessible source code btw, and my hunch was correct. See line 184 at this link: https://github.com/buefy/buefy/blob/dev/src/components/carousel/CarouselList.vue

Buefy: A lightweight UI library that provides a range of customizable UI components, including forms, buttons, and navbars.

Back in the day I used Buefy https://buefy.org/ which is a Vue version of Bulma. I like it, I'd say it was easy to implement and I could change the style a bit without too many lines of code.

I'm learning Vue and today noticed something I hadn't seen before, by Buefy component templates, namely hash-prefixed attributes on template tags e.g.

Encountered this issue as we're looking into solutions for migrating a Vue 2 + Buefy codebase over to Vue 3. The maintainer is actively working on Oruga, which for the most part, has a very similar api to Buefy components and is pretty close in terms of component parity. I only found out about Oruga through this pinned issue in the Buefy repo.

That will render any Vue components referenced within the content returned from the API. In my case, it contained Buefy component references e.g.:

I like Bulma and I've used it on most recent projects. It feels lighter and easier to customize than Bootstrap. Buefy is vue components based on Bulma. It's pretty good, but lately I've been using Livewire.

Personally I don't like either. Bootstrap seems too bloated and cookie-cutter, and Tailwind is inline styles and clutter. Lately I've used Bulma (CSS framework) and Buefy (Bulma + Vue) on a couple of projects. I also like the look of Pure CSS, but I haven't used it.

It seems that the good UI frameworks are only available for Vue 2 at present. Bootstrap (Bootstrap-vue), Semantic UI (Semantic UI Vue), Bulma (Buefy), Material (Vuetify) all only support Vue 2.
