Dependencies

vue-form-generator uses fecha and lodash internally.

While built-in fields don't need external dependencies, optional fields may need other libraries. These dependencies fall into two camps: jQuery or Vanilla. You can find almost the same functionality in both flavors. In the end, it's your choice to depend on jQuery or not.

You can find details about dependencies in the official documentation under each specific component.

Core vs Full version

VueFormGenerator come in two version : core and full. Core is a more minimal version with only half the fields. Full is core + other fields.

Full bundle: 75 kB (gzipped: 19 kB)
Core bundle: 39 kB (gzipped: 11 kB)

If you don't know what to choose, don't worry, the full is the default version. If you want the slim down version, here is the changes:

// the "full" way
<script>
  import VueFormGenerator from "vue-form-generator";
  import "vue-form-generator/dist/vfg.css";  // optional full css additions
</script>
 
// the "core" way
<script>
  import VueFormGenerator from "vue-form-generator/dist/vfg-core.js";
  import "vue-form-generator/dist/vfg-core.css";  // optional core css additions
</script>
