Blocked on Nextcloud core. No action right now.
The plugin uses Vue 2 with render functions (see src/viewer-main.js). Nextcloud is in the middle of migrating its own libraries to Vue 3. Doing our own migration too early means doing it twice; doing it too late means breaking when NC drops Vue 2 support.
What changes when we migrate
Vue.extend()-style component definition → Composition API or Options API in v3 syntaxcreateElement render functions still work in Vue 3 with minor signature changes (h from vue package)- Lifecycle hook renames:
beforeDestroy → beforeUnmount (we already register both, so partial preparedness)
- Props validation behaviour subtly different
- Vue 3 ships ESM-first which fits the new bundler setup
Pre-requisites we should track
- Nextcloud Server stable target version that requires Vue 3 (currently ambiguous, partial)
@nextcloud/vue Vue 3 readiness for the components we use- Confirmation that Viewer API (
OCA.Viewer.registerHandler) still accepts the same handler shape
When to revisit
- When Nextcloud announces a concrete version where Vue 2 support is removed
- Or when we want to use a Vue 3-only
@nextcloud/vue component
Scope when done
src/viewer-main.js component definitionsrc/embed-main.js (smaller, less coupling)- Verify
package.json dependencies and remove any Vue 2-only polyfills
Placeholder issue so we don't forget; close as out-of-date if NC's path becomes clear before we get to it.
