express-vue is a Vue.js rendering engine for Express.js that lets you use .vue files as templates with server-side rendering via streams. It enables an MVC-style setup where Node/Express handles controllers and models while Vue.js 2.0+ handles the views.

Use cases

• server-side render Vue.js apps in Express
• use .vue single-file components as Express templates
• build SEO-friendly server-rendered websites with Vue 2
• render Vue views from Express controllers with res.renderVue
• add structured data and meta tags to server-rendered Vue pages

When to choose

• you have an existing Express app and want Vue 2 server-side rendering
• you want an MVC split with Express for backend and Vue for views
• you prefer streaming SSR without setting up a full build pipeline

When to avoid

• you use Vue 3, which this library does not support
• you are starting a new project - Nuxt.js is a more modern SSR option
• you need an actively developed project with recent commits
