Problem: Many Markdown renderers are either framework-agnostic (awkward to integrate into Vue apps) or heavy when you need math, code blocks, and SSR support.
What I made: vue-markdown-render is a Vue component library focused on real-world needs:
Vue 3-friendly API and TypeScript types.
Built-in math rendering (KaTeX) that can run in a web worker to avoid blocking the main thread.
Robust code block rendering with metadata support (language, captions, headers).
SSR-friendly and designed to work with Vite / Nuxt (server + client hydration).
Small and modular — you can opt into features you need.
Thorough test coverage and a live playground with examples.
Try it
Authors building documentation, blogs, or editor previews inside Vue apps.
Teams that need math typesetting + code blocks without shipping a huge dependency.
Anyone who wants an extensible, test-covered, Vue-first renderer.
Call to action
If you build docs/blogs with Vue, please try the demo and give feedback. Issues, PRs, and stars are welcome.
I’m happy to answer questions about SSR, performance, and integration in this thread.
Small FAQ / quick answers (copy for first reply)
SSR? Yes — designed to work with SSR and hydration; examples provided in the repo.
Bundle size? Core is small; math rendering is optional and can be offloaded to a worker so it won’t bloat the main bundle.
Migration? Drop-in component patterns are shown in the playground; works with Vite and common Vue setups.
