 How do you find Vue JS version using API?

Here are the ways to determine the Vue.js version using API methods:

1. During Runtime:

• Vue.version: This global property returns a string indicating the Vue.js version currently running in the browser.

JavaScript

console.log(Vue.version); // Output: e.g., "3.2.45"

2. During Development:

• package.json: Check the dependencies section of your package.json file for the vue package version.

JSON

{
  "dependencies": {
    "vue": "^3.2.45"
  }
}

• vue --version (CLI): If you're using Vue CLI, run this command in your terminal to view the globally installed Vue CLI version, which often aligns with the Vue.js version used in your projects.

3. Within a Vue Component:

• this.$version: Access this property within a Vue component to get the Vue.js version used in that component's context.

JavaScript

<template>
  <p>Vue version: {{ $version }}</p>
</template>

4. Accessing Vue API Within Browser Console:

• Vue.version: If Vue is available globally in the browser, you can directly access Vue.version in the browser console to check the version.

5. Inspecting Generated JavaScript Code:

• Vue.version: Search for Vue.version in the generated JavaScript code (usually in a file like app.js or main.js) to find the version used during build.

Key Points:

• Use Vue.version at runtime or within components.

• Check package.json for development version.

• Use vue --version for CLI version.

• Inspect generated code for build version.

Additional Considerations:

• If using a custom build of Vue.js, the version might not be accessible through these methods.

• For complex scenarios, consider using build tools or scripts to manage and track Vue.js versions more effectively.
