🏆 Swiper component for @vuejs
A Vue wrapper for Swiper.js that has been explicitly deprecated by its own author. The v5 release is literally just a re-export of the official swiper/vue package with no additional code. Anyone landing here should go directly to swiperjs.com/vue instead.
- The deprecation notice is upfront and honest — the author didn't abandon it quietly, they documented the migration path clearly.
- Legacy version tags (v2/v3/v4) are preserved on specific git tags, so old projects pinned to those versions won't lose their source.
- The 12k stars reflect real historical usage, meaning most Swiper/Vue issues have already been encountered and discussed somewhere.
- The package is a no-op wrapper — v5 is one file that re-exports swiper/vue. You're adding a dependency that does nothing except add an indirection layer.
- Last commit was December 2022 and the project is explicitly dead, so any bugs or incompatibilities with newer Swiper or Vue versions won't be fixed.
- New adopters who don't read the README carefully will install this thinking they're getting something beyond the official Swiper Vue component, then be confused when the API docs don't match what they expected.
- The v4 and earlier Vue2 versions are frozen at old Swiper major versions (5-6), so anyone stuck on Vue2 is also stuck on a Swiper version that itself no longer receives updates.
