vue.jsvue-clivue-cli-3vue-cli-4

It is not clear which version of vue.js is being used

I installed npm install -g @vue/cli

After installation, I create a project vue create hello-world

After creating the project, I run the following command: npm list vue Returns `-- vue@3.2.20. This indicates that the project is using vue.js version 3.2.20

But if you look in package.json, then the version of "vue" will be indicated there: "vue": "^3.0.0",

It confuses me. How to fix it?. It is not clear to me which version is being used in the project. If I go to vue ui, then version 3.2.20 will also be indicated there. But the package.json of the project shows version 3.0.0. How to fix it? Explain what's going on?

Solution

  • The caret (^) in your package.json indicates that Vue will be updated to all future minor versions without exceeding the major version (version 3 in your case).

    The version you got through npm list vue, 3.2.20 matches this rule 3.X.X
