A step-by-step approach to transitioning your Vue.js applications to Juris enhance()
Why Consider Migration?
If you're reading this, you might be experiencing some of these Vue.js pain points:
- Build complexity - Webpack configurations, CLI dependencies, and tooling overhead
- Bundle size concerns - Large framework footprint affecting performance
- Over-engineering - Simple features requiring complex component hierarchies
- Legacy integration challenges - Difficulty enhancing existing non-Vue pages
- Team onboarding - New developers struggling with Vue-specific patterns
Juris offers a lighter alternative that maintains reactive capabilities while eliminating much of the complexity.
Migration Strategy Overview
Approach 1: Gradual Page-by-Page Migration (Recommended)
- Keep existing Vue app running
- Migrate individual pages/sections to Juris
- Eventually phase out Vue entirely
Approach 2: Component-by-Component Replacement
- Replace Vue components with Juris enhancements
- Maintain similar functionality and structure
- Gradual transition within existing pages
Approach 3: Full Rewrite (High Risk)
- Complete application rewrite using Juris
- Only recommended for small applications
- Fastest but most disruptive approach
Pre-Migration Assessment
1. Audit Your Current Vue Application
Components to catalog:
# Find all Vue components
find src -name "*.vue" | wc -l
# Identify complex components (>100 lines)
find src -name "*.vue" -exec wc -l {} + | sort -nr
# List Vuex store modules
ls src/store/modules/
Dependencies to review:
- Vue Router usage
- Vuex store complexity
- Third-party Vue components
- Custom directives
- Mixins and composition functions
2. Complexity Assessment
Low Complexity (Easy Migration):
- Simple forms and interactions
- Basic state management
- Minimal component nesting
- Standard HTML structures
Medium Complexity (Moderate Effort):
- Complex forms with validation
- Multiple store modules
- Dynamic component rendering
- Route-based state management
High Complexity (Requires Planning):
- Heavy use of slots and provide/inject
- Complex animation systems
- Extensive component composition
- Advanced Vue features (teleport, suspense)
Step 1: Setting Up Juris Alongside Vue
1.1 Install Juris
<!-- Include Juris from unpkg CDN -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/juris.js"></script>
1.2 Initialize Juris
// Create Juris instance alongside Vue
window.jurisApp = new Juris({
states: {
// Initial state from your Vuex store
user: vuexStore.state.user,
ui: vuexStore.state.ui
},
services: {
// Migrate Vuex actions to services
userService: {
login: async (credentials) => {
const user = await api.login(credentials);
jurisApp.setState('user', user);
return user;
},
logout: () => {
jurisApp.setState('user', null);
localStorage.removeItem('token');
}
}
}
});
1.3 State Synchronization Bridge
// Keep Vuex and Juris in sync during transition
const stateBridge = {
// Sync Vuex changes to Juris
vuexToJuris: (store) => {
store.subscribe((mutation, state) => {
// Mirror important state changes
if (mutation.type === 'SET_USER') {
jurisApp.setState('user', state.user);
}
if (mutation.type === 'UPDATE_UI') {
jurisApp.setState('ui', state.ui);
}
});
},
// Sync Juris changes to Vuex
jurisToVuex: (store) => {
jurisApp.subscribe('user', (user) => {
store.commit('SET_USER', user);
});
jurisApp.subscribe('ui', (ui) => {
store.commit('UPDATE_UI', ui);
});
}
};
// Initialize bridges
stateBridge.vuexToJuris(vuexStore);
stateBridge.jurisToVuex(vuexStore);
Step 2: Component Migration Patterns
2.1 Simple Components
Vue Component:
<!-- UserGreeting.vue -->
<template>
<div class="greeting">
<h2>Welcome, {{ user.name }}!</h2>
<p>Last login: {{ formatDate(user.lastLogin) }}</p>
<button @click="refreshData">Refresh</button>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
computed: {
user() {
return this.$store.state.user;
}
},
methods: {
formatDate(date) {
return new Date(date).toLocaleDateString();
},
refreshData() {
this.$store.dispatch('user/refresh');
}
}
}
</script>
Juris Enhancement:
// Replace the Vue component with enhancement
juris.enhance('.greeting', ({ getState, userService }) => ({
children: () => {
const user = getState('user');
if (!user) return [{ div: { text: 'Please log in' } }];
return [
{ h2: { text: `Welcome, ${user.name}!` } },
{ p: { text: `Last login: ${new Date(user.lastLogin).toLocaleDateString()}` } },
{ button: {
text: 'Refresh',
onclick: () => userService.refresh()
}}
];
}
}));
2.2 Form Components
Vue Form:
<!-- ContactForm.vue -->
<template>
<form @submit.prevent="handleSubmit">
<div class="field">
<label>Name</label>
<input
v-model="form.name"
:class="{ error: errors.name }"
@blur="validateName"
/>
<span v-if="errors.name" class="error">{{ errors.name }}</span>
</div>
<div class="field">
<label>Email</label>
<input
type="email"
v-model="form.email"
:class="{ error: errors.email }"
@blur="validateEmail"
/>
<span v-if="errors.email" class="error">{{ errors.email }}</span>
</div>
<button type="submit" :disabled="!isValid">
{{ isSubmitting ? 'Sending...' : 'Send Message' }}
</button>
</form>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
form: { name: '', email: '', message: '' },
errors: {},
isSubmitting: false
}
},
computed: {
isValid() {
return Object.keys(this.errors).length === 0 &&
this.form.name && this.form.email;
}
},
methods: {
validateName() {
if (!this.form.name.trim()) {
this.$set(this.errors, 'name', 'Name is required');
} else {
this.$delete(this.errors, 'name');
}
},
validateEmail() {
const emailRegex = /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/;
if (!emailRegex.test(this.form.email)) {
this.$set(this.errors, 'email', 'Valid email required');
} else {
this.$delete(this.errors, 'email');
}
},
async handleSubmit() {
this.isSubmitting = true;
try {
await this.$store.dispatch('contact/send', this.form);
this.resetForm();
} catch (error) {
this.handleError(error);
} finally {
this.isSubmitting = false;
}
}
}
}
</script>
Juris Enhancement:
const juris = new Juris({
services: {
contactForm: {
validate: (field, value) => {
let error = null;
if (field === 'name' && !value.trim()) {
error = 'Name is required';
} else if (field === 'email' && !/^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/.test(value)) {
error = 'Valid email required';
}
juris.setState(`contactForm.errors.${field}`, error);
return !error;
},
isValid: () => {
const errors = juris.getState('contactForm.errors', {});
const form = juris.getState('contactForm.data', {});
return Object.values(errors).every(error => !error) &&
form.name && form.email;
},
submit: async () => {
juris.setState('contactForm.submitting', true);
try {
const formData = juris.getState('contactForm.data');
await api.contact.send(formData);
juris.setState('contactForm.data', {});
juris.setState('contactForm.errors', {});
} catch (error) {
console.error('Contact form error:', error);
} finally {
juris.setState('contactForm.submitting', false);
}
}
}
}
});
juris.enhance('form.contact-form', {
selectors: {
'input[name]': (ctx) => {
const field = ctx.element.name;
return {
value: () => juris.getState(`contactForm.data.${field}`, ''),
oninput: (e) => juris.setState(`contactForm.data.${field}`, e.target.value),
onblur: ({ contactForm }) => contactForm.validate(field, ctx.element.value),
className: () => juris.getState(`contactForm.errors.${field}`) ? 'error' : ''
};
},
'.error-message': (ctx) => {
const field = ctx.element.dataset.field;
return {
text: () => juris.getState(`contactForm.errors.${field}`, ''),
style: () => ({
display: juris.getState(`contactForm.errors.${field}`) ? 'block' : 'none'
})
};
},
'button[type="submit"]': ({ contactForm }) => ({
disabled: () => !contactForm.isValid(),
text: () => juris.getState('contactForm.submitting') ? 'Sending...' : 'Send Message',
onclick: (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
contactForm.submit();
}
})
}
});
2.3 List Components with Dynamic Data
Vue List Component:
<!-- TodoList.vue -->
<template>
<div class="todo-list">
<div class="filters">
<button
v-for="filter in filters"
:key="filter"
:class="{ active: currentFilter === filter }"
@click="setFilter(filter)"
>
{{ filter }}
</button>
</div>
<div class="todos">
<todo-item
v-for="todo in filteredTodos"
:key="todo.id"
:todo="todo"
@toggle="toggleTodo"
@delete="deleteTodo"
/>
</div>
<div class="stats">
{{ activeCount }} of {{ totalCount }} remaining
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import TodoItem from './TodoItem.vue';
export default {
components: { TodoItem },
data() {
return {
filters: ['all', 'active', 'completed']
}
},
computed: {
todos() {
return this.$store.state.todos;
},
currentFilter() {
return this.$store.state.filter;
},
filteredTodos() {
return this.todos.filter(todo => {
if (this.currentFilter === 'active') return !todo.completed;
if (this.currentFilter === 'completed') return todo.completed;
return true;
});
},
activeCount() {
return this.todos.filter(t => !t.completed).length;
},
totalCount() {
return this.todos.length;
}
},
methods: {
setFilter(filter) {
this.$store.commit('SET_FILTER', filter);
},
toggleTodo(id) {
this.$store.dispatch('todos/toggle', id);
},
deleteTodo(id) {
this.$store.dispatch('todos/delete', id);
}
}
}
</script>
Juris Enhancement:
const juris = new Juris({
services: {
todoManager: {
setFilter: (filter) => {
juris.setState('todos.filter', filter);
},
toggle: (id) => {
const todos = juris.getState('todos.items', []);
const updated = todos.map(todo =>
todo.id === id ? { ...todo, completed: !todo.completed } : todo
);
juris.setState('todos.items', updated);
},
delete: (id) => {
const todos = juris.getState('todos.items', []);
juris.setState('todos.items', todos.filter(t => t.id !== id));
},
getFiltered: () => {
const todos = juris.getState('todos.items', []);
const filter = juris.getState('todos.filter', 'all');
return todos.filter(todo => {
if (filter === 'active') return !todo.completed;
if (filter === 'completed') return todo.completed;
return true;
});
},
getStats: () => {
const todos = juris.getState('todos.items', []);
return {
active: todos.filter(t => !t.completed).length,
total: todos.length
};
}
}
}
});
juris.enhance('.todo-list', ({ getState, todoManager }) => ({
children: () => [
// Filters
{
div: {
className: 'filters',
children: ['all', 'active', 'completed'].map(filter => ({
button: {
text: filter,
className: getState('todos.filter') === filter ? 'active' : '',
onclick: () => todoManager.setFilter(filter)
}
}))
}
},
// Todo items
{
div: {
className: 'todos',
children: todoManager.getFiltered().map(todo => ({
div: {
className: `todo-item ${todo.completed ? 'completed' : ''}`,
children: [
{
input: {
type: 'checkbox',
checked: todo.completed,
onchange: () => todoManager.toggle(todo.id)
}
},
{ span: { text: todo.text } },
{
button: {
text: '×',
onclick: () => todoManager.delete(todo.id)
}
}
]
}
}))
}
},
// Stats
{
div: {
className: 'stats',
text: () => {
const stats = todoManager.getStats();
return `${stats.active} of ${stats.total} remaining`;
}
}
}
]
}));
Step 3: State Management Migration
3.1 Vuex Store to Juris Services
Vuex Store Module:
// store/modules/user.js
export default {
namespaced: true,
state: {
profile: null,
preferences: {},
isLoading: false
},
mutations: {
SET_PROFILE(state, profile) {
state.profile = profile;
},
SET_PREFERENCES(state, preferences) {
state.preferences = preferences;
},
SET_LOADING(state, loading) {
state.isLoading = loading;
}
},
actions: {
async fetchProfile({ commit }) {
commit('SET_LOADING', true);
try {
const profile = await api.user.getProfile();
commit('SET_PROFILE', profile);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Failed to fetch profile:', error);
} finally {
commit('SET_LOADING', false);
}
},
async updatePreferences({ commit }, preferences) {
try {
await api.user.updatePreferences(preferences);
commit('SET_PREFERENCES', preferences);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Failed to update preferences:', error);
}
}
},
getters: {
isLoggedIn: state => !!state.profile,
displayName: state => state.profile?.name || 'Guest',
theme: state => state.preferences.theme || 'light'
}
}
Juris Service:
const juris = new Juris({
states: {
user: {
profile: null,
preferences: {},
isLoading: false
}
},
services: {
userService: {
async fetchProfile() {
juris.setState('user.isLoading', true);
try {
const profile = await api.user.getProfile();
juris.setState('user.profile', profile);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Failed to fetch profile:', error);
} finally {
juris.setState('user.isLoading', false);
}
},
async updatePreferences(preferences) {
try {
await api.user.updatePreferences(preferences);
juris.setState('user.preferences', preferences);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Failed to update preferences:', error);
}
},
// Getters as computed functions
isLoggedIn: () => !!juris.getState('user.profile'),
getDisplayName: () => juris.getState('user.profile')?.name || 'Guest',
getTheme: () => juris.getState('user.preferences.theme', 'light')
}
}
});
3.2 Migrating Complex State Logic
Vue Composition API:
// composables/useShoppingCart.js
import { computed, reactive } from 'vue';
import { useStore } from 'vuex';
export function useShoppingCart() {
const store = useStore();
const cartItems = computed(() => store.state.cart.items);
const cartTotal = computed(() =>
cartItems.value.reduce((sum, item) => sum + (item.price * item.quantity), 0)
);
const addItem = (product) => {
store.dispatch('cart/addItem', product);
};
const removeItem = (productId) => {
store.dispatch('cart/removeItem', productId);
};
const updateQuantity = (productId, quantity) => {
store.dispatch('cart/updateQuantity', { productId, quantity });
};
return {
cartItems,
cartTotal,
addItem,
removeItem,
updateQuantity
};
}
Juris Service:
const juris = new Juris({
states: {
cart: {
items: []
}
},
services: {
cartService: {
getItems: () => juris.getState('cart.items', []),
getTotal: () => {
const items = juris.getState('cart.items', []);
return items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + (item.price * item.quantity), 0);
},
addItem: (product) => {
const items = juris.getState('cart.items', []);
const existingItem = items.find(item => item.id === product.id);
if (existingItem) {
const updated = items.map(item =>
item.id === product.id
? { ...item, quantity: item.quantity + 1 }
: item
);
juris.setState('cart.items', updated);
} else {
juris.setState('cart.items', [...items, { ...product, quantity: 1 }]);
}
},
removeItem: (productId) => {
const items = juris.getState('cart.items', []);
juris.setState('cart.items', items.filter(item => item.id !== productId));
},
updateQuantity: (productId, quantity) => {
const items = juris.getState('cart.items', []);
const updated = items.map(item =>
item.id === productId ? { ...item, quantity } : item
);
juris.setState('cart.items', updated);
}
}
}
});
// Usage in components
juris.enhance('.cart-summary', ({ cartService }) => ({
children: () => [
{
div: {
className: 'cart-total',
text: `Total: $${cartService.getTotal().toFixed(2)}`
}
},
{
div: {
className: 'cart-items',
children: cartService.getItems().map(item => ({
div: {
className: 'cart-item',
children: [
{ span: { text: item.name } },
{ span: { text: `$${item.price}` } },
{
input: {
type: 'number',
value: item.quantity,
onchange: (e) => cartService.updateQuantity(item.id, parseInt(e.target.value))
}
},
{
button: {
text: 'Remove',
onclick: () => cartService.removeItem(item.id)
}
}
]
}
}))
}
}
]
}));
Step 4: Routing Migration
4.1 Vue Router to Juris State-Based Routing
Vue Router Setup:
// router/index.js
import { createRouter, createWebHistory } from 'vue-router';
import Home from '../views/Home.vue';
import About from '../views/About.vue';
import Contact from '../views/Contact.vue';
const routes = [
{ path: '/', component: Home },
{ path: '/about', component: About },
{ path: '/contact', component: Contact }
];
export default createRouter({
history: createWebHistory(),
routes
});
Juris Routing Service:
const juris = new Juris({
states: {
router: {
currentRoute: '/',
params: {},
query: {}
}
},
services: {
router: {
navigate: (path) => {
juris.setState('router.currentRoute', path);
history.pushState({}, '', path);
},
getCurrentRoute: () => juris.getState('router.currentRoute'),
parseUrl: () => {
const path = window.location.pathname;
const query = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
const queryObj = Object.fromEntries(query.entries());
juris.setState('router.currentRoute', path);
juris.setState('router.query', queryObj);
},
init: () => {
// Parse initial URL
juris.services.router.parseUrl();
// Listen for browser navigation
window.addEventListener('popstate', () => {
juris.services.router.parseUrl();
});
}
}
}
});
// Initialize routing
juris.services.router.init();
// Route-based rendering
juris.enhance('.app-content', ({ getState }) => ({
children: () => {
const route = getState('router.currentRoute');
switch (route) {
case '/':
return [{ div: { className: 'home-page', innerHTML: homePageContent } }];
case '/about':
return [{ div: { className: 'about-page', innerHTML: aboutPageContent } }];
case '/contact':
return [{ div: { className: 'contact-page', innerHTML: contactPageContent } }];
default:
return [{ div: { className: 'not-found', text: '404 - Page not found' } }];
}
}
}));
// Navigation links
juris.enhance('nav a', ({ router }) => ({
onclick: (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
const path = e.target.getAttribute('href');
router.navigate(path);
}
}));
Step 5: Testing Migration
5.1 Testing Juris Enhancements
// tests/enhancements.test.js
describe('Contact Form Enhancement', () => {
let juris;
let mockElement;
beforeEach(() => {
// Setup Juris instance
juris = new Juris({
services: {
contactForm: {
validate: (field, value) => {
// Test validation logic
}
}
}
});
// Create mock DOM element
mockElement = document.createElement('form');
mockElement.innerHTML = `
<input name="email" type="email" />
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
`;
document.body.appendChild(mockElement);
});
afterEach(() => {
document.body.removeChild(mockElement);
});
test('should validate email input', () => {
// Enhance the form
juris.enhance('form', { /* enhancement config */ });
// Test email validation
const emailInput = mockElement.querySelector('input[name="email"]');
emailInput.value = 'invalid-email';
emailInput.dispatchEvent(new Event('blur'));
// Assert validation error
expect(juris.getState('contactForm.errors.email')).toBeTruthy();
});
test('should enable submit when form is valid', () => {
juris.enhance('form', { /* enhancement config */ });
// Fill valid data
const emailInput = mockElement.querySelector('input[name="email"]');
emailInput.value = '[email protected]';
emailInput.dispatchEvent(new Event('input'));
// Check submit button state
const submitBtn = mockElement.querySelector('button[type="submit"]');
expect(submitBtn.disabled).toBeFalsy();
});
});
5.2 Integration Testing
// tests/integration.test.js
describe('Vue to Juris Migration', () => {
test('should maintain state sync between Vue and Juris', () => {
// Setup both Vue and Juris instances
const vueApp = createApp(/* Vue app */);
const juris = new Juris(/* Juris config */);
// Setup state bridge
setupStateBridge(vueApp, juris);
// Test state synchronization
vueApp.$store.commit('SET_USER', { name: 'John' });
expect(juris.getState('user.name')).toBe('John');
juris.setState('user.email', '[email protected]');
expect(vueApp.$store.state.user.email).toBe('[email protected]');
});
});
Step 6: Performance Optimization
6.1 Bundle Size Optimization
// Before migration (Vue + Vuex + Router)
// Total bundle size: ~150KB gzipped
// After migration (Juris only)
// Total bundle size: ~25KB gzipped
// Reduction: 83% smaller
// Measurement script
function measureBundleSize() {
const scripts = document.querySelectorAll('script[src]');
let totalSize = 0;
scripts.forEach(script => {
fetch(script.src)
.then(response => response.blob())
.then(blob => {
totalSize += blob.size;
console.log(`${script.src}: ${blob.size} bytes`);
});
});
setTimeout(() => {
console.log(`Total bundle size: ${totalSize} bytes`);
}, 1000);
}
6.2 Runtime Performance Comparison
// Performance monitoring
const performanceMonitor = {
startTime: performance.now(),
measureRenderTime: (label) => {
const endTime = performance.now();
console.log(`${label}: ${endTime - performanceMonitor.startTime}ms`);
performanceMonitor.startTime = endTime;
},
measureMemoryUsage: () => {
if (performance.memory) {
console.log('Memory usage:', {
used: Math.round(performance.memory.usedJSHeapSize / 1024 / 1024) + 'MB',
total: Math.round(performance.memory.totalJSHeapSize / 1024 / 1024) + 'MB'
});
}
}
};
// Test Vue component render time
performanceMonitor.measureRenderTime('Vue component mount');
// Test Juris enhancement time
performanceMonitor.measureRenderTime('Juris enhancement');
// Memory comparison
performanceMonitor.measureMemoryUsage();

Troubleshooting Common Issues
Issue 1: State Synchronization Problems
Problem: Vue and Juris state getting out of sync
Solution:
// Improved state bridge with error handling
const robustStateBridge = {
setupSync: (vueStore, juris) => {
// Vuex to Juris with validation
vueStore.subscribe((mutation, state) => {
try {
const stateMapping = {
'SET_USER': () => juris.setState('user', state.user),
'UPDATE_UI': () => juris.setState('ui', state.ui)
};
if (stateMapping[mutation.type]) {
stateMapping[mutation.type]();
}
} catch (error) {
console.error('State sync error:', error);
}
});
// Juris to Vuex with validation
juris.subscribe('user', (user) => {
try {
vueStore.commit('SET_USER', user);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Reverse sync error:', error);
}
});
}
};
Issue 2: Component Lifecycle Differences
Problem: Vue lifecycle hooks not available in Juris
Solution:
// Simulate Vue lifecycle with Juris patterns
const lifecycleSimulator = {
onMounted: (callback) => {
// Use MutationObserver to detect when elements are added
const observer = new MutationObserver((mutations) => {
mutations.forEach((mutation) => {
if (mutation.type === 'childList') {
mutation.addedNodes.forEach((node) => {
if (node.nodeType === Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
// Element was mounted
setTimeout(callback, 0);
}
});
}
});
});
observer.observe(document.body, {
childList: true,
subtree: true
});
return observer;
},
onUnmounted: (element, callback) => {
// Use MutationObserver to detect removal
const observer = new MutationObserver((mutations) => {
mutations.forEach((mutation) => {
if (mutation.type === 'childList') {
mutation.removedNodes.forEach((node) => {
if (node === element || node.contains(element)) {
callback();
observer.disconnect();
}
});
}
});
});
observer.observe(document.body, {
childList: true,
subtree: true
});
return observer;
}
};
Issue 3: Complex Component Communication
Problem: Parent-child component communication patterns
Solution:
// Event bus pattern for component communication
const eventBus = {
listeners: new Map(),
emit: (event, data) => {
const callbacks = eventBus.listeners.get(event) || [];
callbacks.forEach(callback => callback(data));
},
on: (event, callback) => {
if (!eventBus.listeners.has(event)) {
eventBus.listeners.set(event, []);
}
eventBus.listeners.get(event).push(callback);
// Return unsubscribe function
return () => {
const callbacks = eventBus.listeners.get(event);
const index = callbacks.indexOf(callback);
if (index > -1) {
callbacks.splice(index, 1);
}
};
}
};
// Use in Juris enhancements
juris.enhance('.parent-component', ({ getState }) => ({
children: () => [
{
div: {
className: 'child-component',
onclick: () => eventBus.emit('child-clicked', { id: 1 })
}
}
]
