📦 ️Vue 3 Migration - Roadmap

Apps in server repository

• Prepare Vue 3 migration by having 2 build processes one for Vue 2 and one for migrated Vue 3 apps
  • Migrate to ESLint v9 to make linting on Vue 3 work ( https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/55495 )
  • Prepare migration by splitting the build process ( https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/55432 )
• Moving forward with necessary migrations to Vue3, the following apps should be migrated.
  (names in parenthesis are respective app maintainers)
  • appstore ( https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/57290 )
  • comments ( https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/58353 )

  • oauth2 ( https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/57012 )
  • profile ( https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/57236 )
  • sharebymail ( https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/55432 )
  • systemtags ( https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/57855 )
  • theming (https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/57163)
  • twofactor_backupcodes ( https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/56067 )
  • updatenotification ( https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/63798 )
  • user_ldap (https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/56570)
  • user_status ( https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/56544 )
  • weather_status ( https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/62625 )
  • core (📁 & 🪪 team) (this should be done close before or after the files app)
  • files (📁 team)
  • files_sharing (📁 team)
  • settings ( @artonge 🪪 IDP-team)
    QUESTION: shall we for simplicity split this app into a new account_management app + separate settings ?
  • workflowengine ( @blizzz 📑 productivity-team)

Ideally all files apps in "one go". Maintaining both Vue versions duplicates dependencies which has a performance impact.

External applications

• Migrate end_to_end_encryption to Vue 3 ( https://github.com/nextcloud/end_to_end_encryption/pull/1149 )
• Migrate Teamfolders to Vue 3 ( https://github.com/nextcloud/groupfolders/pull/4301 )
• Migrate privacy to Vue 3 ( https://github.com/nextcloud/privacy/pull/1278 )
• Migrate files_antivirus to Vue 3 ( https://github.com/nextcloud/files_antivirus/pull/543 )

How to migrate apps?

1. Migrate the code to Vue 3
2. Remove symlink from build/frontend-legacy/apps
3. Remove entry from build/frontend-legacy/webpack.modules.cjs
4. Add symlink to build/frontend/apps
5. Add entry to build/frontend/vite.config.ts

If the migrated app has dependencies not already present in the Vue 3 version move the dependencies to the root package.json (and remove from build/frontend-legacy if no longer needed for the Vue 2 apps).
This way we can throw away everything from build/frontend* once done.
