> Buefy is a lightweight library of responsive UI components for [Vue.js](https://vuejs.org/) based on [Bulma](http://bulma.io/) framework and design.
### Breaking changes
Because not all of Vue 2 features could be reproduced with Vue 3, there are some breaking changes.
Please refer to [CHANGELOG.md](/CHANGELOG.md) for more details.
The biggest breaking change is obviously, **buefy does not work with Vue 2**.
### How to install
```sh
npm install buefy
```
## Features
- Keep your current Bulma theme / variables easily
- Supports both [Material Design Icons](https://materialdesignicons.com/) and [FontAwesome](http://fontawesome.io/)
- Very lightweight with none internal dependencies aside from Vue & Bulma
- About 88KB min+gzip (with Bulma included)
- Semantic code output
- Follows Bulma design and some of the [Material Design UX](https://material.io/)
- Focus on usability and performance without _over-animating_ stuff

### Installing Developer Release(s) from GitHub npm Registry to Access the Latest Features
To incorporate the latest changes from the development branch of buefy-next, you can install developer releases from the GitHub npm registry. However, proceed with caution as these packages may be deleted or retracted without notice.
Steps:
1. Generate a Personal Access Token:
Create a personal access token on GitHub with read access to the GitHub Packages registry.
2. Configure npm:
In your terminal, execute the following commands:
```bash
npm login --auth-type=legacy --registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com
USERNAME:
PASSWORD:
echo "@buefy:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com" > .npmrc
```
3. Select a Developer Release:
Visit the Buefy package registry: https://github.com/buefy/buefy/pkgs/npm/buefy on GitHub.
Choose any developer release that suits your needs.
- Consider the features and bug fixes introduced in each release.
- Choose a more recent release if you need the latest features, but be aware of potential instabilities.
- Opt for a slightly older release if stability is a higher priority.
**Package Naming Conventions:**
Buefy developer releases follow a specific naming format:
```
@buefy/buefy@-
```
``: This represents the intended stable release version that the developer release will eventually be included in.
``: This part indicates that it's a developer release and includes a unique commit hash that identifies the specific code changes in that release.
**Due to the GitHub npm registry's requirements, the package name must be scoped; i.e., prefixed with `@buefy/`.**
4. Install the Package:
Copy the provided command from GitHub, which will resemble this:
```bash
npm install buefy@npm:@buefy/buefy@-
```
Alternatively, to fetch the latest release from the developer release registry, run:
```bash
npm install buefy@npm:@buefy/buefy@latest
```
**However, note it is not recommended to use the latest version of our developer release, as its stability fluctuates.**
Congratulations! You've successfully installed a Buefy developer release.
