Ionic Vue, introduced as a beta release, marks Ionic's expansion beyond Angular to embrace Vue.js, allowing developers to build cross-platform hybrid apps using Vue's syntax while leveraging Ionic's UI components. The framework, known for its open-source collection of UI components, facilitates the creation of high-quality apps that can be deployed on iOS, Android, desktop, and as progressive web apps. The integration with Vue involves setting up a basic Vue project using the CLI, incorporating vue-router for routing, and installing the @ionic/vue package, which enables access to Ionic's components. Although the virtual scroll component is not yet available in the beta, the framework supports overlay components like modals through the $ionic object. The development team encourages feedback on router integration, tabs ergonomics, and performance, aiming to refine the framework as it moves towards a more stable release.
